Using Visual Studio 2019 + Resharper.
hey guys, i want to add listviews, that show things from objects, which i get from a list.
it looks like this, when i code it manually:
The XAML-Code:
<ListView Margin="43,313,642,29" BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Red" x:Name="Module1">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<WrapPanel>
<TextBlock Text="Modul"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontWeight="Bold"/>
</WrapPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
and the c# code:
List<Module> somename = pPP_2.Components.Modules.Values.Cast<Module>().ToList();
List<Module> whatevername = new List<Module>(){somename[0]};
Module1.ItemsSource = whatevername;
The Modules i refer to have several properties, and the {somename[0]} just gets the first of them and puts it in the list.
So basically my question:
How can i create such xaml code using c#? I want to create a listview like this for each element in my list. i Don´t want to create them manually but let the code do it for me.
thinking about this for days now and would love to get some help here.
Thanks,
IRezzet.
P.S. You can basically ignore the special list i created there. The question should work for every List.
You could use an ItemsControl with a ItemTemplate that renders a ListView that has an ItemTemplate rendering the listview-items. If this gets too complex, consider seperating this into a usercontrol to make it more generic.
The XAML would look something like this:
<ItemsControl x:Name="DynamicGrid">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ListView BorderThickness="2" ItemsSource="{Binding SubChildren}" BorderBrush="Red">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontWeight="Bold"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
You will need two Model types for this
// And an instance variable
public ObservableCollection<Outer> Lists { get; } = new ObservableCollection<Outer>();
public class Outer
{
public ObservableCollection<Inner> SubChildren { get; } = new ObservableCollection<Inner>();
}
public class Inner
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
I used this code to seed for testing:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var o = new Outer();
for (int k = 0; k < 10; k++)
{
o.SubChildren.Add(new Inner() { Name = "ID: "+k });
}
Lists.Add(o);
}
DynamicGrid.ItemsSource = Lists;

The commented code is an old TexBlock with no selection
The new HighlightTextBlock component perfectly selects the text if you use a static resource, as in the example, but when I try to bind it to the current text it can not find this field :(, I'm new in WPF help figure it out
HightlightedText="{Binding Path=title, Converter={StaticResource getFilter}}"
How correctly to anchor this property to title?
DataContext structure
public ObservableCollection<Procedure> Procedures { set; get; }
public CollectionViewSource ProceduresView { set; get; } = new CollectionViewSource();
....
Procedures = new ObservableCollection<Procedure>();
ProceduresView.Filter += Procedures_Filter;
ProceduresView.Source = Procedures;
....
public class Procedure : ObservableObject
{
....
public String title { get; set; }
....
}
....
// Simple filtering
void Procedures_Filter(object sender, FilterEventArgs e)
{
Procedure procedure = (Procedure) e.Item;
Boolean flag = false;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(filter))
{
Setting.Filter sfilter = new Setting.Filter();
sfilter.type = "искать везде";
sfilter.text = filter;
ObservableCollection<Setting.Filter> arr = new ObservableCollection<Setting.Filter>();
arr.Add(sfilter);
if (Utils.AssignedProcedureFromFilter(procedure, arr)) flag = true;
}
else flag = true;
e.Accepted = flag;
}

On the Russian-speaking forum they explained to me that:
Your case, in fact, is more serious. DataContext you, apparently, the
right one. But your Binding expression is inside the HighlightRules
property setter, which is not part of the visual tree (because it is
not available as a Child element of your control). And elements that
are not inside the visual tree, participate in bindings are only
limited: they do not inherit DataContext, nor access by name through
ElementName. As a solution, bind to an element via x: Reference. In my
(heavily cut) test case, HightlightedText = "{Binding Path =
DataContext.title, Source = {x: Reference MainText}} is triggered."
But, if directly replaced by this, a strange error works: 'Can not
call MarkupExtension. ProvideValue because of a cyclic dependency. The
properties inside the MarkupExtension can not reference objects that
reference the MarkupExtension result.
The workaround for the error was found here: you need to put your element in resources. We get this:
XAML, modified according to the recommendations

I was given advice on the restructuring of XAML, through resources, this partially solved the problem (I successfully got the title text in the converter), but the element ceased to perform its functions (allocation) During the discussion, it was suggested that the component itself should be finalized
#iRumba: In theory, the whole trick should not be necessary if you put
the HighlighRule collection (also) in a visual tree. Then the
DataContext will be automatically inherited and on idea the binding
through ElementName too will work.
#iRumba: I do not remember exactly. It seems, it is necessary to
specify to add all HighlightRule as LogicalChildren (for this purpose
on idea it is necessary to redefine protected internal override
IEnumerator LogicalChildren). This is a complicated, advanced
technique, yes.
Sorry for Google Translator
Found a solution
public class SearchHightlightTextBlock : TextBlock
{
public SearchHightlightTextBlock() : base() { }
public String SearchText
{
get { return (String)GetValue(SearchTextProperty); }
set { SetValue(SearchTextProperty, value); }
}
private static void OnDataChanged(DependencyObject source,
DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
TextBlock tb = (TextBlock)source;
if (tb.Text.Length == 0)
return;
string textUpper = tb.Text.ToUpper();
String toFind = ((String)e.NewValue).ToUpper();
int firstIndex = textUpper.IndexOf(toFind);
String firstStr = "";
String foundStr = "";
if (firstIndex != -1)
{
firstStr = tb.Text.Substring(0, firstIndex);
foundStr = tb.Text.Substring(firstIndex, toFind.Length);
}
String endStr = tb.Text.Substring(firstIndex + toFind.Length,
tb.Text.Length - (firstIndex + toFind.Length));
tb.Inlines.Clear();
tb.FontSize = 16;
var run = new Run();
run.Text = firstStr;
tb.Inlines.Add(run);
run = new Run();
run.Background = Brushes.Yellow;
run.Text = foundStr;
tb.Inlines.Add(run);

tb.Inlines.Add(run);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty SearchTextProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("SearchText",
typeof(String),

So I have a customised GridView with a data template that contains a TextBox and is populated by a list of a custom class called Player. I need to be able to retrieve both the instance of Player and the text in the TextBox and save them to a new custom class called Score.
<GridView x:Name="gridScore" ItemsSource="{x:Bind PlayerList}" IsItemClickEnabled="True">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="data:Player">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBox x:Name="txtbxGridScore" TextChanged="txtbxGridScoreChangedEventHandler" />
<Image Source="{x:Bind ProfilePicture}"/>
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Center">
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind FullName}" />
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind Alias}" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
</GridView>
<Button x:Name="buttonSave" Content="Save Scores" Style="{StaticResource BarButtonStyle}" Click="buttonSave_Click"/>
I come from a web-based Java background so this is a little bit new to me but it seems like it should be a fairly simple exercise.
Initially, I tried iterating through the GridView upon a Button Click and grabbing each Player item along with the TextBox Text and saving them to a List<> of Score, however, getting the TextBox value proved troublesome.
I then tried initialising a page scope List<> of Score and simply updating it each time the TextBox value was changed, however, I wasn't able to make this work either.
A solution for either approach will work fine for my purposes. Any input is appreciated!
If I correctly understood you this is one of the way to resolve your problem.
So let's assume that your model class Player have this structure:
public class Player {
public int PlayerID { get; set; }
public string ProfilePicture { get; set; }
public string FullName { get; set; }
public string Alias { get; set; }
public float PlayerScore { get; set; } // To store textbox value
}
So you can resolve this by using two way binding.
XAML part will look something like this:
<GridView x:Name="gridScore"
ItemsSource="{x:Bind PlayerList}"
IsItemClickEnabled="True">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="data:Player">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBox x:Name="txtbxGridScore"
Text="{x:Bind PlayerScore, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<Image Source="{x:Bind ProfilePicture}" />
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Center">
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind FullName}" />
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind Alias}" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
</GridView>
<Button x:Name="buttonSave"
Content="Save Scores"
Click="buttonSave_Click" />
I have initialized your PlayerList with some dummy data like this:
PlayerList = new ObservableCollection<Player>() {
new Player() {
FullName = "Player A", Alias = "AAA"
},
new Player () {
FullName = "Player B", Alias = "BBB"
}
};
As you can see in XAML I am binding your text box with PlayerScore property of Player model.
When I run this App I get screen like this:
I will input some data into TextBox and click Save button:
When I click on Save it will trigger the event that you wrote in Button part
In that event I have one foreach loop that will iterate through the list and one breakpoint and as you can see on first item "Player A" the PlayerScore value is 10:
Now you can find your players with some ID property or with some other way that you want. This is the most simple way to accomplish what you want.
Remark: This could be solved in a better way using MVVM pattern and other stuff but as you mentioned you are beginner so maybe it is better for you to solve it like this and after that go with more advanced technique. Hope that this was helpful for you.
This question already has an answer here:
Reusing Text views and Grid
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am dynamically creating say 300 views in For loop :
Ex:
for (int j = 0; j <= 300; j++)
{
Image image = new Image();
image.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/Images/sample256.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
Grid titleGrid = new Grid();
titleGrid.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
titleGrid.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
TextBlock titleText = new TextBlock();
titleText.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
titleGrid.Children.Add(titleText);
Grid subtitleGrid = new Grid();
subtitleGrid.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
subtitleGrid.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
TextBlock subtitleText = new TextBlock();
subtitleText.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
subtitleGrid.Children.Add(subtitleText);
//add all views to root layout
LayoutRoot.Children.Add(image);
LayoutRoot.Children.Add(titleGrid);
LayoutRoot.Children.Add(subtitleGrid);
}
Now there is a lag in the app as I am adding new view each time, how can I reuse the already created views? I am working on Windows Phone 8 app.
adding 300 items in the layout root will definatly make page load slow. you need to use controls that implement virtulization like listbox. here is how
ListBox XAML in your page.
<ListBox Name="myListBox" ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<Image Source="{Binding ImageUrl}">
</Image>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Question}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Answer}"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
your code behind
code to bind data
List<MyData> list = new List<MyData>();
for (int i = 0; i < 300; i++)
{
var data = new MyData();
data.Question = "//yourquestion";
data.Answer = "// your answer";
data.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("yourimagepat"));
}
myListBox.ItemsSource = list;
Data Class
public class MyData {
public string Question { get; set; }
public string Answer { get; set; }
public BitmapImage ImageSource { get; set; }
}
to take advantage of the virtulization please add your listbox in Grid control. otherwise it can throw out of memory exception and also will be slow
You could try using DataBinding feature instead of creating this .
// You can bound items from your Class here
<ListBox x:Name="ListBox1" Margin="5"
Width="450" Height="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ItemsSource="{Binding SongsList}">
ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VirtualizingStackPanel CleanUpVirtualizedItemEvent="VirtualizingStackPanel_CleanUpVirtualizedItemEvent_1">
</VirtualizingStackPanel>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="2">
<TextBlock Text="Artist:" Margin="2" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Artist}" Margin="2" />
<TextBlock Text="CD:" Margin="10,2,0,2" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="2" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
// your class should be like this
public Songs
{
public string Artist{get;set;}
public string Name {get;set;}
}
// CodeBehind Just Add Data
ObservableCollection<Songs> SongsList=new ObservableCollection<SongsL();
for (int j = 0; j <= 300; j++)
{
SongsList.Add(new Songs{Artist="Aritst Name",Name="Song Name"});
}
// Set this Collection from the codebehind or xaml .
ListBox1.ItemSource=SongsList; // it will the bind the public properties in this Songs.

I cannot bind my sample data to textblocks in stackpanel, which I defined in resources. I think that I use style in wrong way, because I receive toString() method instead of class binded fields.
That's my resources with defined style:
<UserControl.Resources>
<ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="VirtualizingStackPanelTemplate">
<VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
<ListView x:Key="ListBoxTemplate" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!--<ListBoxItem Background="DarkOrchid" Margin="1,1, 5,5" Height="400" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">-->
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock FontSize="30" Text="{Binding Title}"/>
<TextBlock FontSize="20" Text="{Binding Desc}"/>
</StackPanel>
<!--</ListBoxItem>-->
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</UserControl.Resources>
Here is my method in which i add listview programatically:
long rowCount = ContentGridFullView.RowDefinitions.LongCount();
if (rowCount > 8) return;
var c1 = new RowDefinition { Height = new GridLength(1, GridUnitType.Star) };
ContentGridFullView.RowDefinitions.Add(c1);
rowCount = ContentGridFullView.RowDefinitions.LongCount();
TextBlock tb = new TextBlock {Text = "TEXTBLOCK ITEM = " + (rowCount - 1), FontSize = 40};
Viewbox vb = new Viewbox { Child = tb };
if (rowCount > 8) return;
Grid.SetRow(vb, Convert.ToInt32(rowCount-1));
Grid.SetColumn(vb, 1);
ListView lb = new ListView();
lb.Style = Resources["ListBoxTemplate"] as Style;
lb.ItemsPanel = (ItemsPanelTemplate) Resources["VirtualizingStackPanelTemplate"];
var products = new ObservableCollection<Product>() { new Product("ASDASDSADAS", "VCBVCBVCBVCBC"), new Product("ASDASDSADAS", "VCBVCBVCBVCBC"), new Product("ASDASDSADAS", "VCBVCBVCBVCBC"), new Product("ASDASDSADAS", "VCBVCBVCBVCBC") };
lb.ItemsSource = products;
ContentGridFullView.Children.Add(lb);
ContentGridFullView.Children.Add(vb);
Grid.SetRow(lb, Convert.ToInt32(rowCount - 1));
Grid.SetColumn(lb, 2);
And my short class that I want to bind:
public class Product
{
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Desc { get; set; }
public Product(string title, string desc)
{
Title = title;
Desc = desc;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return "I see that message instead of Title and Desc";
}
}
Can someone tell me what's wrong with this code? Thank you.
Create your Observable collection as a property (getter/setter):
ObservableCollection<Product> _products;
public ObservableCollection<Product> products
{
get{return _products;}
set
{
_products=value;
PropertyChanged("products");
}
}
The property changed event will be need to indicate that the collection has changed,its needed when your using ObservableCollection. You'll need to read more about it.You can add items to the products collection by using :
products.Add(Product_object)
And your xaml code will have the itemsSource as follows:
<ListView x:Key="ListBoxTemplate" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" ItemsSource="{Binding products}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!--<ListBoxItem Background="DarkOrchid" Margin="1,1, 5,5" Height="400" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">-->
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock FontSize="30" Text="{Binding Title}"/>
<TextBlock FontSize="20" Text="{Binding Desc}"/>
</StackPanel>
<!--</ListBoxItem>-->
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
The following statement is important in your xaml code so that your xaml code will know where to look for the data.
DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=x}
First try and create a static list and check if data is getting initialized properly and then you can try creating listviews dynamically. But the code above will be the same thing you will have to do create dynamic listviews.
I have this XAML:
<ItemsControl x:Name="recentSearches"
Margin="0,65,0,0">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding q}"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Foreground="AliceBlue"
Padding="2,6,2,2"
Margin="12,-6,12,0"
FontSize="20" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
and this code behind:
private void showLatestSearches()
{
if (fmn.checkLatestSearchesExtistence())
{
List<RecentSearchItem> recent = new List<RecentSearchItem>();
List<String> l = fmn.readLatestSearches();
for (int i = 0; i <= l.Count-1; i += 1)
{
RecentSearchItem r = new RecentSearchItem();
r.q = l[i];
r.generalbg = grau;
recent.Add(r);
}
recentSearches.DataContext = recent;
}
}
the object called fmn reads a .txt from the isolated storage.
But why doesn't anything show up with this StackPanel?
ItemsControl.ItemsSource has to be bound to a collection, for notifications the best would be ObservableCollection<T>.
You are setting the DataContext at the last possible minute, a better way would be to set
DataContext to a ViewModel, could be place where you create your View.
public class Form :UserControl
{
DataContext = new YourViewModel() ;
}
In XAML:
ItemsSource="{Binding SearchesCollection}"
SearchesCollection would be a property in YourViewModel of type ObservableCollection<string>. Whenever you add a new item to SearchesCollection the View updates.
This Databinding Tutorial should help.
Thanks to Lews Therin I managed to finally bind my data to the stackpanel:
<ItemsControl x:Name="recentSearches"
ItemsSource="{Binding recent}"
Background="{Binding generalbg}"
Margin="0,65,0,0" Tap="recentSearches_Tap">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding q}"
Foreground="{Binding foreground}"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Padding="2,6,2,2"
Margin="12,-6,12,0"
FontSize="20" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
and the code behind:
private void showLatestSearches()
{
if (fmn.checkLatestSearchesExtistence())
{
List<RecentSearchItem> recent = new List<RecentSearchItem>();
List<String> l = fmn.readLatestSearches();
for (int i = 0; i <= l.Count-1; i += 1)
{
RecentSearchItem r = new RecentSearchItem();
r.q = l[i];
r.generalbg = grau;
r.foreground = blau;
recent.Add(r);
}
recentSearches.ItemsSource = recent;
}
}
this works, but unfortunately there seems to be no way to determine, which TextBox is tapped, when one is tapped.
