I am new to xamarin forms and I am trying to make a project similar to what you can see in the next picture.

The thing I want to achieve is when I press an item from listView (which I already have with the items displayed) where I have all items I want to pass somehow the entire object to the tabPage so that I can see the description in one part and the opinions in the other page. I did some research but all the examples I saw uses MVVM and mine is more simple than that.
Here you have the code.
--->Model
public class Item
{
public String name;
public String description;
public Double price;
public int stock;
public List<String> opinions;
public Item(String name, String description ,Double price, int stock, List<String> opinions)
{
this.name = name;
this.description = description;
this.price = price;
this.stock = stock;
this.opinions = opinions;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return this.name + " " + this.price + " $" + this.stock + " ud";
}
}
---> The event that takes me to the TabPage.
private async void parent_listView_ItemSelected(object sender, SelectedItemChangedEventArgs e)
{
//here maybe I should pass the object...
await Navigation.PushAsync(new TabPage());
}
---> Here you have both classes that are used inside the tabPage
public partial class Datos : ContentPage
{
//private string descriptionList;
public Datos()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
public partial class Opinions : ContentPage
{
public Opinions()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
The thing is that I don't know how to pass the object in a specific position from listView to both pages from tabPage in a easy way. I tried to pass both classes(Datos and Opinions) using TabPage constructor but it doesn't work. Here you have the code...
private async void parent_listView_ItemSelected(object sender, SelectedItemChangedEventArgs e)
{
await Navigation.PushAsync(new TabPage(new Datos(itemList[e.SelectedItemIndex] ), new Opinions(itemList[e.SelectedItemIndex] )));
}
SelectedItemChangedEventArgs contains a reference to the selected object
private async void parent_listView_ItemSelected(object sender, SelectedItemChangedEventArgs e)
{
var item = (Item)e.SelectedItem;
await Navigation.PushAsync(new TabPage(item));
}

enter image description hereI have used AutoSize/FixedDialog/GrowAndShrink combo before to set Formsize depending on the label size responsible for printing the Queryresult out. In this case I have done everything in the same way but the Shrink part is not functioning at all.
The label is also set AutoSize. Maximum size is determined, to have only the height autosized.
I have checked ten times all of the properties human can set and the difference between the former Forms and the one I have problem with. The conclusion:No difference (Instead of two little things (margin size and minimum size)).
I use property window when is it possible, so I can not present any code to this question.
I would like to now what is wrong in my thinking or what shoud I do more. It is a good answer for me that: Forget about the property window! Code! You want to be a developer.
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public class QuerySelection
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Query { get; set; }
public QuerySelection(string name, string query)
{
Name = name;
Query = query;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return Name;
}
}
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void buttonCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}
const string QueryText1 = "This is the short selection!";
const string QueryText2 = "This is the middle-long selection!";
const string QueryText3 = "This is the long selection!";
const string Query1 = "short";
const string Query2 = "middle-short";
const string Query3 = "long";
const string ErrorText = "Choose a query!";
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
comboBoxQueries.Items.Add(new QuerySelection(QueryText1, Query1));
comboBoxQueries.Items.Add(new QuerySelection(QueryText2, Query2));
comboBoxQueries.Items.Add(new QuerySelection(QueryText3, Query3));
}
private void buttonSelectedQueryResult_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
QuerySelection selectedItem = (QuerySelection)comboBoxQueries.SelectedItem;
if(comboBoxQueries.SelectedItem == null)
{
MessageBox.Show(ErrorText);
}
else
{
labelResult.Text = selectedItem.Query;
}
}
}
}
I'm trying a code which changes the TextBox values when variable mapped with it changes accordingly without using TextBox changed event. I am not finding any clue to where to start please help me.
Here is the code:
public void varChange(TextBox text)
{
String name;
name="sachin";
text.Text = name;
MessageBox.Show("" + text.Text);
}
You can "extend" TextBox :
public class MeTextBox : TextBox
{
public override string Text
{
get
{
return base.Text;
}
set
{
//base.Text = value; // use it or not .. whatever
MyTextWasChanged();
}
}
void MyTextWasChanged()
{
String name;
name="sachin";
//text.Text = name;
base.Text = name;
MessageBox.Show("" + text.Text);
}
}
If that's not what you're looking for then give some more details and I'll update this answer.
You can use a BindingSource
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource form1BindingSource;
public string BindedProp { get; set; } //Variable or property binded with TextBox
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.form1BindingSource = new System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource(new System.ComponentModel.Container());
this.form1BindingSource.DataSource = typeof(binding.Form1);
this.textBox.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", this.form1BindingSource, "BindedProp", true));
this.form1BindingSource.DataSource = this;
}
//add a button control to assing value code event click
private void btAssingValueProperty_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
BindedProp = "Value assigned";
form1BindingSource.ResetBindings(false);
}
//add a other button control to show value code event click
private void btShowValueProperty_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(BindedProp);
}
}
I have a Class where there a 2 variables int ID and string name. I made a list of several objects and loaded them onto a listbox. The listbox only show the name. Is there a way to retrieve the ID from the listbox?
class Show
{
private int _Id;
private string _Naam;
private string _Genre;
public override string ToString()
{
return Naam;
}
}
from a database i make a list of objects.
private void bttn_zoek_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (object a in List<show> List)
{
listbox1.Items.Add(a);
}
}
I hope this is enough
Assuming WinForms, here is a super simple example of overriding ToString() to control how the class is displayed in the ListBox, and also how to cast the selected item in the ListBox back to your class type so you can extract values from it. There are other ways to accomplish this task, but you should understand a bare bones example like this first:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SomeClassName sc1 = new SomeClassName();
sc1.ID = 411;
sc1.Name = "Information";
listBox1.Items.Add(sc1);
SomeClassName sc2 = new SomeClassName();
sc2.ID = 911;
sc2.Name = "Emergency";
listBox1.Items.Add(sc2);
}
private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (listBox1.SelectedIndex != -1)
{
SomeClassName sc = (SomeClassName)listBox1.Items[listBox1.SelectedIndex];
label1.Text = "ID: " + sc.ID.ToString();
label2.Text = "Name: " + sc.Name;
}
}
}
public class SomeClassName
{
public int ID;
public string Name;
public override string ToString()
{
return ID.ToString() + ": " + Name;
}
}
Posting some of your code would be nice. Have you tried listBox.items[index].ID?
Here I'm assuming that index is whatever index you're currently searching for.
You can also try listBox.SelectedItem[index].ID if you're doing something like an event.
I have these objects in my project:
SchedulerList
SchedulerListItem
SchedulerListItemDetails
each one is a win forms control, which are used in forms of my application. The SchedulerList holds SchedulerListItems and each item can have SchedulerListItemDetails.
my code goes as follows:
//creating my initial list form
FrmListTesting f = new FrmListTesting();
f.Show();
The form has only one button that has a hard-coded parameter for testing purposes, as well as a SchedulerList control taht will hold the list items.
When the button is clicked the form does the following:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var control = this.Controls[1] as SchedulerList;
var path = #"D:\Share\Countries.txt";
var sli = new SchedulerListItem(path);
control.AddItem(sli);
}
my SchedulerListItem constuctor goes as follows:
public SchedulerListItem(string path)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.Name = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path);
this.SourcePath = path;
this.DestinationPath = GetDestinationPath(path);
}
And the AddItem method is defined as:
public void AddItem(SchedulerListItem item)
{
this.flPanel.Controls.Add(item);
}
The add item method works as intended, displays all the data that was required and displays it in the UI. The list item has a button that brings up the details form as such:
//the form constructor
public FrmSchedulerItemDetails(SchedulerListItem item)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.detailsControl = new SchedulerListItemDetails(item, this);
}
//control constructor
public SchedulerListItemDetails(SchedulerListItem item, Form owner)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.SourcePath = item.SourcePath;
this.DestinationPath = item.DestinationPath;
this.OldFormat = item.OldFormat;
this.ExportToExcel = item.ExportToExcel;
this.owner = owner;
this.underlyingItem = item;
}
And now the problem. After the SchedulerListItemDetails constructor is called and the data "gets initialized", when i look at the data inside the object its set to default values. it seams that everything that I set after InitializeComponent(); gets ignored.
things that i have tried:
hard-coding the values to see if primitives get passed correctly
settings breakpoints on every InitializeComponent() method to see the stack trace associated with setting to default values
none of the methods show any results... I know that if i use a form directly instead of using a control within a from i can set the values the way i want to, but I'm very confused as to why this other method with controls doesn't work.
EDIT 1:
the code for SchedulerListItemDetails:
public partial class SchedulerListItemDetails : UserControl
{
public SchedulerListItemDetails(SchedulerListItem item, Form owner)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.SourcePath = item.SourcePath;
this.DestinationPath = item.DestinationPath;
this.OldFormat = item.OldFormat;
this.ExportToExcel = item.ExportToExcel;
this.owner = owner;
this.underlyingItem = item;
}
public SchedulerListItemDetails()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private Form owner = null;
private SchedulerListItem underlyingItem;
public Boolean ExportToExcel
{
get
{
return this.cbxExcel.Checked;
}
set
{
this.cbxExcel.Checked = value;
}
}
public Boolean OldFormat
{
get
{
return this.cbxOldFormat.Checked;
}
set
{
this.cbxOldFormat.Checked = value;
}
}
public String DestinationPath
{
get
{
return this.tbxDestinationPath.Text;
}
set
{
this.tbxDestinationPath.Text = value;
}
}
public String SourcePath
{
get
{
return this.tbxSourcePath.Text;
}
set
{
this.tbxSourcePath.Text = value;
}
}
private void btnCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.owner.Close();
}
private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
underlyingItem.SourcePath = this.SourcePath;
underlyingItem.DestinationPath = this.DestinationPath;
underlyingItem.OldFormat = this.OldFormat;
underlyingItem.ExportToExcel = this.ExportToExcel;
btnCancel_Click(sender, e);
}
}
I'll make an answer, because it should help you to solve your problem.
You have default (parameterless) constructor, which may be called and if it is called, then your constructor with parameters is not called.
Proper design would be something like
public partial class SchedulerListItemDetails : UserControl
{
public SchedulerListItemDetails()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public SchedulerListItemDetails(SchedulerListItem item, Form owner): this()
{
this.SourcePath = item.SourcePath;
...
}
}
Notice this(), this ensure what parameterless constructor is called before (and InitializeComponent() as well, no need to duplicate it in another constructor).
Back to your problem. In your case it's like this
public partial class SchedulerListItemDetails : UserControl
{
public SchedulerListItemDetails()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public SchedulerListItemDetails(SchedulerListItem item, Form owner)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.SourcePath = item.SourcePath;
...
}
}
Only one constructor can be called. So if you put breakpoint in parameterless one and it's triggered, then you have problems. Because you create somewhere SchedulerListItemDetails without setting it's properties (they stay default).
More likely problem is that you create new instance of that object (either before or after constructing proper, if your code ever construct such object) and that instance is what you inspect later.
So after i got a quick course of how win forms work i figured out what the problem was.
my code that i thought was enough is:
public FrmSchedulerItemDetails(SchedulerListItem item)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DetailsControl = new SchedulerListItemDetails(item, this);
}
public SchedulerListItemDetails DetailsControl
{
get
{
return this.detailsControl;
}
set
{
this.detailsControl = value;
}
}
the this.detailsControl is the control im trying to setup, but as i have learned the correct way of replacing a component for a new one is:
public FrmSchedulerItemDetails(SchedulerListItem item)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DetailsControl = new SchedulerListItemDetails(item, this);
}
public SchedulerListItemDetails DetailsControl
{
get
{
return this.detailsControl;
}
set
{
this.Controls.Remove(this.detailsControl);
this.detailsControl = value;
this.Controls.Add(this.detailsControl);
}
}
Feel kinda silly now :).
Hi, I am a newbie to C# and I have no programming background, but I am interested in it.
I want to send data to a ListView, but the data is in the other form. I already saw all the related posts here. I tried copying code from one of the post and changing it according to my needs, but it doesn't work.
Form3:
public partial class Form3 : Form
{
public Form3()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public delegate void HandleItemAdded(object sender, ItemAddedEventArgs e);
public struct ItemAddedEventArgs: EventArgs
{
public string PartPrefix;
public string PartStartNumber;
public string AssemblyPrefix;
public string AssemblyStartNumber;
public string Name;
public string Profile;
public string Material;
public string Finish;
public string Class;
public ItemAddedEventArgs(string partprefix, string partstartnumber, string assemblyprefix, string assemblystartnumber, string name, string profile, string material, string finish, string classes)
{
PartPrefix = partprefix;
PartStartNumber = partstartnumber;
AssemblyPrefix = assemblyprefix;
AssemblyStartNumber = assemblystartnumber;
Name = name;
Profile = profile;
Material = material;
Finish = finish;
Class = classes;
}
}
public event HandleItemAdded ItemAdded;
public void RaiseItemAdded(ItemAddedEventArgs e)
{
if (ItemAdded != null)
ItemAdded(this, e);
}
public void AddToList()
{
RaiseItemAdded (new ItemAddedEventArgs (textBox221.Text, textBox222.Text, textBox223.Text, textBox224.Text, textBox225.Text, textBox226.Text, textBox227.Text, textBox228.Text, textBox229.Text));
}
}
Form1:
public void HandleItemAdded(object sender, WindowsFormsApplication1.Form3.ItemAddedEventArgs e)
{
ListViewItem item1 = new ListViewItem(textBox221.Text);
item1.SubItems.Add(textBox222.Text);
item1.SubItems.Add(textBox223.Text);
item1.SubItems.Add(textBox224.Text);
item1.SubItems.Add(textBox225.Text);
item1.SubItems.Add(textBox226.Text);
item1.SubItems.Add(textBox227.Text);
item1.SubItems.Add(textBox228.Text);
item1.SubItems.Add(textBox229.Text);
listView1.Add(item1);
Form3.ItemAdded += Form1.HandleItemAdded; *<-( i dont know if this is the correct place for this.)
}
The error I get is: type EventArgs in interface list is not an interface
Thank you in advance.
What you need to do in Form1 is this:
public void HandleItemAdded(object sender, WindowsFormsApplication1.Form3.ItemAddedEventArgs e)
{
ListViewItem item1 = new ListViewItem(e.PartPrefix);
item1.SubItems.Add(e.PartStartNumber);
item1.SubItems.Add(e.<Member_Name>);
.
.
.
listView1.Add(item1);
}
And for the error I think following should work for you:
public class ItemAddedEventArgs: EventArgs
