How to Reference a Vectored Graphic in Control Binding - c#

All, I have the following resources which defines a custom CheckBox and the images to use for the checked/un-checked states.
<sys:String x:Key="Up">
F1 M 37.8516,35.625L 34.6849,38.7917L 23.6016,50.2708L
23.6016,39.9792L 37.8516,24.9375L 52.1016,39.9792L 52.1016,
50.2708L 41.0182,38.7917L 37.8516,35.625 Z
</sys:String>
<sys:String x:Key="Down">
F1 M 37.8516,39.5833L 52.1016,24.9375L 52.1016,35.2292L
37.8516,50.2708L 23.6016,35.2292L 23.6016,24.9375L 37.8516,39.5833 Z
</sys:String>
<Style x:Key="styleCustomCheckBox" TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Path x:Name="MyPin" Width="18" Height="18" Stretch="Fill" Fill="#FF000000"
Data="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},
Path=(local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOnData)}" />
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,0,0" />
</StackPanel>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="MyPin" Property="Data"
Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},
Path=(local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOffData)}" />
<Setter TargetName="MyPin" Property="Fill" Value="Gray" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Where this is used as follows
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Background="Beige">
<CheckBox Height="35"
local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOnData="{StaticResource Up}"
local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOffData="{StaticResource Down}"
Style="{StaticResource styleCustomCheckBox}"
Content="MySolution1" />
<CheckBox Height="35"
local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOnData="{StaticResource Up}"
local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOffData="{StaticResource Down}"
Style="{StaticResource styleCustomCheckBox}"
Content="MySolution2" />
</StackPanel>
I use the following DependencyPropertys to support this
public class CustomCheckBoxClass : DependencyObject
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsCheckedOnDataProperty;
public static void SetIsCheckedOnData(DependencyObject DepObject, string value)
{
DepObject.SetValue(IsCheckedOnDataProperty, value);
}
public static string GetIsCheckedOnData(DependencyObject DepObject)
{
return (string)DepObject.GetValue(IsCheckedOnDataProperty);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsCheckedOffDataProperty;
public static void SetIsCheckedOffData(DependencyObject DepObject, string value)
{
DepObject.SetValue(IsCheckedOffDataProperty, value);
}
public static string GetIsCheckedOffData(DependencyObject DepObject)
{
return (string)DepObject.GetValue(IsCheckedOffDataProperty);
}
static CustomCheckBoxClass()
{
PropertyMetadata MyPropertyMetadata = new PropertyMetadata(string.Empty);
IsCheckedOnDataProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"IsCheckedOnData", typeof(string), typeof(CustomCheckBoxClass), MyPropertyMetadata);
IsCheckedOffDataProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"IsCheckedOffData", typeof(string), typeof(CustomCheckBoxClass), MyPropertyMetadata);
}
}
Now I want to know how to extend this so I can use more detailed vector graphics. I have some graphics created using Expression Design and I have exported these as XAML files. The mark up for one of these files is
<DrawingBrush x:Key="Layer_1" Stretch="Uniform">
<DrawingBrush.Drawing>
<DrawingGroup>
<DrawingGroup.Children>
<GeometryDrawing Brush="#FF565656" Geometry="M 107.455,171.715L 107.455,29.3347L 220.225,29.3347L 220.225,171.715L 107.455,171.715 Z "/>
<GeometryDrawing Brush="#FF565656" Geometry="F1 M 152.5,298.345L 152.5,201.955L 175.18,201.955L 175.18,298.345L 152.5,298.345 Z "/>
<GeometryDrawing Brush="#FFFFFFFF" Geometry="M 124.15,172.975L 124.15,48.8647L 165.73,48.8647L 165.73,172.975L 124.15,172.975 Z "/>
<GeometryDrawing Brush="#FF565656" Geometry="F1 M 83.1999,208.885L 83.1999,162.895L 244.48,162.895L 244.48,208.885L 83.1999,208.885 Z "/>
</DrawingGroup.Children>
</DrawingGroup>
</DrawingBrush.Drawing>
</DrawingBrush>
How can I include this in a resource dictionary that can be used directly in a Window/Component? I have attempted to change the DependencyProperty to provide access to DrawingBrush and I have changed the XAML to
<CheckBox Height="35"
local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOnData="{StaticResource Layer_1}"
local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOffData="{StaticResource Down}"
Style="{StaticResource styleCustomCheckBox}"
Content="MySolution1" />
Where I reference the relevant ResourceDictionary, but this has not worked.
Thanks for your time.
Edit. based on #HighCore's comment. Lets say I have the following customised Checkbox
<Style x:Key="MheckBox"
TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image x:Name="imageCheckBox"
Width="16"
Height="16"
Source="F:\Camus\ResourceStudio\Graphics\Images\UnPinned16.png"/>
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</StackPanel>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="imageCheckBox"
Property="Source"
Value="F:\Camus\ResourceStudio\Graphics\Images\Pinned16.png"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="imageCheckBox"
Property="Source"
Value="F:\Camus\ResourceStudio\Graphics\Images\UnPinned16.png"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
which works great. How can I change the Value="F:\Camus\ResourceStudio\Graphics\Images\UnPinned16.png" to use the vector graphics I have outlined above?

The fact, that the in Template is used to Path and it assumes a string value in the Data parameter. But now you use DrawingBrush, usually it is used for Rectangle control.
So, we change the type of attached depending properties on the type of DrawingBrush:
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsCheckedOnDataProperty;
public static void SetIsCheckedOnData(DependencyObject DepObject, DrawingBrush value)
{
DepObject.SetValue(IsCheckedOnDataProperty, value);
}
public static DrawingBrush GetIsCheckedOnData(DependencyObject DepObject)
{
return (DrawingBrush)DepObject.GetValue(IsCheckedOnDataProperty);
}
static CustomCheckBoxClass()
{
PropertyMetadata MyPropertyMetadata = new PropertyMetadata(null);
IsCheckedOnDataProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsCheckedOnData",
typeof(DrawingBrush),
typeof(CustomCheckBoxClass),
MyPropertyMetadata);
}
In Style, now change the Path on the Rectangle, like this:
<Style x:Key="styleCustomCheckBox" TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Verdana" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="14" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Rectangle Width="16" Height="16"
Fill="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},
Path=(local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOnData)}" />
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,0,0" />
</StackPanel>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="MyRectangle" Property="Fill" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},
Path=(local:CustomCheckBoxClass.IsCheckedOffData)}" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

ScaleTransform binds but does not update when the bound property is changed

I bound ViewScale to Grid's ScaleTransform and when the app starts it correctly scales by 2. But when I change ViewScale by pressing F12, it doesn't trigger ScaleTransform update even though the property value is changed.

In order to provide property changed notifications, you have to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface in the type that the bound property is defined. You missed this part in your MainWindow code-behind, which is also the data context of your window.
public partial class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
Although you defined the PropertyChanged event and your SetField method raises the event correctly, WPF will not be aware of it, if you do not declare the interface on your class definition.

WPF listbox does not release the memory after value is changed

I have a listbox that includes images, the value is bonded to a list but when I change the list the memory of the older value is not being released.
public double ImageBorderWidth { get; set; }
private BindableCollection<ThumbnailViewModel> _thumbnails;
public BindableCollection<ThumbnailViewModel> Thumbnails
{
get => _thumbnails;
private set
{
_thumbnails = value;
NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => Thumbnails);
}
}
And here is the XML file.
<telerik:RadListBox x:Name="Thumbnails" BorderThickness="0" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Margin="0" Padding="5" AllowDrop="False" SelectionMode="Extended" telerik:ListBoxSelectedItemsBehavior.SelectedItemsSource="{Binding SelectedThumbnails}">

Change button appearance/icon

I want to change the icon on my button. Here is the xaml of my button:
<Button Name="InitPurgeBtn" Click="InitPurgeClick">
<Rectangle Width="35" Height="45" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<Rectangle.Fill>
<VisualBrush Stretch="Fill" Visual="{StaticResource InitIcon}" />
</Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>
</Button>
The probleme is I don't know how to acces the Visual property of the Rectangle of my button in my controller to change "InitIcon" by "PurgeIcon"
All my icon are implement in xaml:
<Viewbox x:Key="ExtinctionIcon" Stretch="Uniform" x:Shared="False">
<Canvas Width="76" Height="76" Clip="F1 M 0,0L 76,0L 76,76L 0,76L 0,0">
<Path Width="40" Height="40" Stretch="Fill" Fill="{Binding Foreground,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Button}}"
Data="M15,24H17V22H15M16.56,{...}24H13V22H11M7,24H9V22H7V24Z"/>
</Canvas>
</Viewbox>
Edit :
I change my button and he is like this now :
<Button Name="InitBtn" Style="{StaticResource RoundButton}" Width="70" Height="70"
Click="InitPurgeClick" Content="{StaticResource InitIcon}">
</Button>
I want to change the icon in my code so I try to set Content property like this :
InitBtn.Content = "{StaticResource ExtinctionIcon}";
But this way just replace my icon with the string "StaticResource.."
Updated to reflect new information
You updated your question with some new information that changes things a lot.
Since you are trying to update Button.Content in code, you won't be able to use the MarkupExtension. MarkupExtensions (the stuff inside { } in the XAML) are only evaluated when the view is initially created. After that, they behave just like regular strings, so trying to set one in code won't work.
To set the value in code, you will need to manually do what the MarkupExtension is doing; find the resource by name, and set the value directly. You can do this with the following code (assuming a reference to InitPurgeBtn).
InitPurgeBtn.Content = InitPurgeBtn.FindResource("ExtinctionIcon");
Previous Answer
You should be able to add your icon to the Content of the Button directly, as it seems to be defined as a resource somewhere (because of the x:Key attribute). Your code doesn't show where exactly that is though, so I can't grantee this will work without some modification.
<Button Name="InitPurgeBtn"
Width="100"
Height="40"
Content="{StaticResource ExtinctionIcon}" />
In order for that to work the ExtinctionIcon resource will have to be defined someplace accessible to the button, meaning either in an ancestor of the button, or in App.xaml.
The fact that the resource is defined with x:Shared="false" seems to indicate that it was designed to be used in exactly this way, as that is required for visual elements that can possibly be hosted in multiple places simultaneously.
Alternatively, you could just copy and embed the icon directly in to the button.
<Button Name="InitPurgeBtn"
Click="InitPurgeClick">
<Viewbox Stretch="Uniform">
<Canvas Width="76"
Height="76"
Clip="F1 M 0,0L 76,0L 76,76L 0,76L 0,0">
<Path Width="40"
Height="40"
Stretch="Fill"
Fill="{Binding Foreground,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource
Mode=FindAncestor,
AncestorType=Button}}"
Data="M15,24H17V22H15M16.56,{...}24H13V22H11M7,24H9V22H7V24Z"/>
</Canvas>
</Viewbox>
</Button>
You may use Content property.
<Button Name="InitPurgeBtn" Width="100" Height="40">
<Button.Content>
<Image Source=".\Icon.PNG"/>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
If you just want a single (xaml) icon, you can bind the content property of your button to your icon resource.
The control below gives an enhanced display - a xaml icon plus a text caption, including two colours for the icon and support for disabled state.

Horizontal aligment WPF expander header

I want to show my GroupName on left and button "ShowOnly" on the right of header row.
I tried with this code but doesn't works.
Could anyone help me?
Thx
My code :
<Expander IsExpanded="True" >
<Expander.Header>
<DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" FontSize="18"></TextBlock>
<Button Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle}" Content="Show Only" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Padding="15,0,15,0" Click="Button_Click"></Button>
</DockPanel>
</Expander.Header>
<Expander.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Expander}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#f0f0f5"></Setter>
<Setter Property="TextElement.FontFamily" Value="Arial Nova"/>
</Style>
</Expander.Style>
<Expander.Content>
<ItemsPresenter />
</Expander.Content>
</Expander>
My ButtonStyle :
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#66e0ff" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="15" />
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border CornerRadius="4" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Grid>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="MyContentPresenter" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#66e0ff" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I tried also with an DockPanel, but same result.
You need to set the HorizontalAlignment property of the ContentPresenter that is defined in the Expander's default control template to Stretch.
The easiest way to do this is probably to handle the Loaded event of the Expander and use a helper method that finds the ContentPresenter in the visual tree:
private void Expander_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Expander expander = sender as Expander;
System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ToggleButton HeaderSite = GetChildOfType<System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ToggleButton>(expander);
if (HeaderSite != null)
{
ContentPresenter cp = GetChildOfType<ContentPresenter>(HeaderSite);
if (cp != null)
cp.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
}
}
private static T GetChildOfType<T>(DependencyObject depObj) where T : DependencyObject
{
if (depObj == null) return null;
for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(depObj); i++)
{
var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(depObj, i);
var result = (child as T) ?? GetChildOfType<T>(child);
if (result != null) return result;
}
return null;
}
<Expander IsExpanded="True" Loaded="Expander_Loaded">
<Expander.Header>
<DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Button Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle}" Content="Show Only" DockPanel.Dock="Right" Padding="15,0,15,0" Click="Button_Click"></Button>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" FontSize="18"></TextBlock>
</DockPanel>
</Expander.Header>
<Expander.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Expander}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#f0f0f5"></Setter>
<Setter Property="TextElement.FontFamily" Value="Arial Nova"/>
</Style>
</Expander.Style>
<Expander.Content>
<ItemsPresenter />
</Expander.Content>
</Expander>
Set width of DockPanel to width of expander so that it will stretch properly.
<DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Expander}}, Path=ActualWidth}">

Binding custom ItemsControl

I’m trying to create custom Itemscontrol class to display a group of different shapes.
To speed up process, I have reused source code from CodeProject (WPF Diagram Designer - Part 4) where all implementation is done but shapes are added from XAML code. For my purposes, I need to add them from code behind (dynamically) so I bound custom Itemscontrol to list of ObservableCollection. Now, instead of shapes be presented like this:
I get something like this:
Can somebody tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
XAML:
<s:Toolbox x:Key="FlowChartStencils" ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=MyDesigner, Path=ToolboxDataItems}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource toolboxItemTemplate}" ItemSize="190,150" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
</s:Toolbox>
<DataTemplate x:Key="toolboxItemTemplate">
<Grid Margin="5,5,5,5">
<Path Style="{StaticResource Process}">
<s:DesignerItem.DragThumbTemplate>
<ControlTemplate>
<Path Style="{StaticResource Process_DragThumb}"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</s:DesignerItem.DragThumbTemplate>
</Path>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text=" {Binding Title}" IsHitTestVisible="False" FontWeight="Bold"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<Style x:Key="Process" TargetType="Path" BasedOn="{StaticResource FlowChartItemStyle}">
<Setter Property="Data" Value="M 0,0 H 60 V40 H 0 Z"/>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="Process_DragThumb" TargetType="Path" BasedOn="{StaticResource Process}">
<Setter Property="IsHitTestVisible" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="Fill" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Transparent"/>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="FlowChartItemStyle" TargetType="Path">
<Setter Property="Fill" Value="{StaticResource ItemBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="{StaticResource ItemStroke}"/>
<Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="StrokeLineJoin" Value="Round"/>
<Setter Property="Stretch" Value="Fill"/>
<Setter Property="IsHitTestVisible" Value="False"/>
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True"/>
</Style>
<Brush x:Key="ItemStroke">#FFD69436</Brush>
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="ItemBrush" StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1">
<LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
<GradientStop Color="#FAFBE9" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="Orange" Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
</LinearGradientBrush>
Code behind:
// Implements ItemsControl for ToolboxItems
public class Toolbox : ItemsControl
{
// Defines the ItemHeight and ItemWidth properties of
// the WrapPanel used for this Toolbox
public Size ItemSize
{
get { return itemSize; }
set { itemSize = value; }
}
private Size itemSize = new Size(50, 50);
// Creates or identifies the element that is used to display the given item.
protected override DependencyObject GetContainerForItemOverride()
{
return new ToolboxItem();
}
// Determines if the specified item is (or is eligible to be) its own container.
protected override bool IsItemItsOwnContainerOverride(object item)
{
return (item is ToolboxItem);
}
}
// Represents a selectable item in the Toolbox/>.
public class ToolboxItem : ContentControl
{
…
}
public class ToolboxDataItem : DependencyObject
{
public string Title
{
get { return (string)GetValue(TitleProperty); }
set { SetValue(TitleProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty TitleProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register( "Title", typeof( string ),
typeof(ToolboxDataItem), new UIPropertyMetadata(""));
public ToolboxDataItem(string title)
{
Title = title;
}
}
public partial class DesignerCanvas : Canvas
{
private ObservableCollection<ToolboxDataItem> toolboxDataItems = new ObservableCollection<ToolboxDataItem>();
public ObservableCollection<ToolboxDataItem> ToolboxDataItems
{
get { return toolboxDataItems; }
}
public DesignerCanvas()
{
ToolboxDataItem toolboxDataItem = new ToolboxDataItem("123");
ToolboxDataItems.Add(toolboxDataItem );
toolboxDataItem = new ToolboxDataItem("456");
ToolboxDataItems.Add(toolboxDataItem );
}
}
MyDesigner:
<s:DesignerCanvas Focusable="true" x:Name="MyDesigner"
Background="{StaticResource WindowBackgroundBrush}" FocusVisualStyle="{x:Null}"
ContextMenu="{StaticResource DesignerCanvasContextMenu}"/>
So I started by trying to get an app going with the code you shared but the styles were all in an incorrect order, so after the styles were set correctly I got arround to an example like this:
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<Brush x:Key="ItemStroke">#FFD69436</Brush>
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="ItemBrush" StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1">
<LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
<GradientStop Color="#FAFBE9" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="Orange" Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
</LinearGradientBrush>
<Style x:Key="FlowChartItemStyle" TargetType="Path">
<Setter Property="Fill" Value="{StaticResource ItemBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="{StaticResource ItemStroke}"/>
<Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="StrokeLineJoin" Value="Round"/>
<Setter Property="Stretch" Value="Fill"/>
<Setter Property="IsHitTestVisible" Value="False"/>
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True"/>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="Process" TargetType="Path" BasedOn="{StaticResource FlowChartItemStyle}">
<Setter Property="Data" Value="M 0,0 H 60 V40 H 0 Z"/>
</Style>
<DataTemplate x:Key="toolboxItemTemplate">
<Grid Margin="5,5,5,5">
<Path Style="{StaticResource Process}">
</Path>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Title}" IsHitTestVisible="False" FontWeight="Bold"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<Style x:Key="Process_DragThumb" TargetType="Path" BasedOn="{StaticResource Process}">
<Setter Property="IsHitTestVisible" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="Fill" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Transparent"/>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ItemsControl Background="Yellow"
ItemsSource="{Binding ToolboxDataItems}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource toolboxItemTemplate}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
So if you check this example to yours then your problem might be in one of two places:
1) The Text binding of the TextBlock (notice the space before the {):
2) Or the Path inside the ItemsSource binding of the toolbox
<s:Toolbox x:Key="FlowChartStencils" ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=MyDesigner, Path=ToolboxDataItems}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource toolboxItemTemplate}" ItemSize="190,150" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
Here try something like ItemsSource="{Binding ToolboxDataItems, ElementName=MyDesigner}"
