How to get the column value of the selected row in wpf listview

In my listview, I've three columns, the first column is displayed as text with image and the rest of the columns just text only. The listview is coded as below:
<TabItem x:Name="HistoryTab" Header="History" Style="{StaticResource TabStyle}">
<Grid>
<ListView x:Name="HistoryTabLv" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="164" Width="275" VerticalAlignment="Top" SelectionChanged="HistoryTabLv_SelectionChanged" SelectionMode="Single">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn x:Name="TimeColumn" Header="Time" Width="85">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="-5,0,0,0">
<Image x:Name="Img" Height="12" Width="12" Source="{Binding Image}" Stretch="Uniform"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Time}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn x:Name="PhoneNumColumn" Header="Phone Number" Width="85" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding PhoneNum}" />
<GridViewColumn x:Name="DirectionColumn" Header="Direction" Width="95" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Direction}" />
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
</Grid>
</TabItem>
If the action statement is true, the relevant data will be binded to each column as coded below.
private void HistoryTabLv_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (myStatement == true)
{
var uri = new Uri(#"/Resources/time.png", UriKind.Relative);
myImg = new BitmapImage(uri);
DateTime myTime = DateTime.Now;
HistoryTabLv.Items.Insert(0, new { Image = myImg, Time = myTime.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt"), PhoneNum = calledNum,
Direction = "Called out" });
}
}
In winform, if I want to get the second column value of the selected row, it is coded like this: (based on what I've searched)
string secondCol = lv.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text;
I want to get the second column value of the selected row (in my case is the PhoneNum column), how can I do that in WPF. I tried with the code below but it doesn't work. Please help.
string myText = (string)((DataRowView)HistoryTabLv.SelectedItems[0])["PhoneNum"];

In WPF ListViewItem is just a wrapper for your content object and SelectedItem(s) will be of the same type as item in your source collection so normally you would cast HistoryTabLv.SelectedItem to that type but because, as far as I can see, you use anonymous type it makes it a bit more difficult. I think the easiest way is around your problem is to use dynamic
dynamic selectedItem = HistoryTabLv.SelectedItem;
var phoneNum = selectedItem.PhoneNum;
or
dynamic selectedItem = HistoryTabLv.SelectedItems[0];
var phoneNum = selectedItem.PhoneNum;
EDIT
If you would create class for you item like
public class MyItemClass {
public string Image { get; set; }
public string Time { get; set; }
public string PhoneNum { get; set; }
public string Direction { get; set; }
}
and create your item like
new MyItemClass {
Image = myImg,
Time = myTime.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt"),
PhoneNum = calledNum,
Direction = "Called out"
}
then you could cast SelectedItem(s) to your item class like
var selectedItem = (MyItemType)HistoryTabLv.SelectedItem

ListView Collection

I Have three objects in a combo box when they are selected the items are listed in the List View. The items are added but there is no text inside the rows like the names of the objects. and when I remove the ListView.View from my Xaml the items displays "(Collection)"
//ComboBox Binding
public void BindComboBox()
{
using (DataClassesDataContext DC = new DataClassesDataContext())
{
cbItem.Items.Clear();
foreach (tblProduct R in DC.tblProducts)
cbItem.Items.Add(R);
cbItem.DisplayMemberPath = "ProductName";
}
//Combobox selectionChanged
List<PIDData> items = new List<PIDData> { };
IEnumerable<PIDData> query = items.Where(item => item.PName != null);
lvDataBinding.Items.Add(items);
txt1.Text = query.ToString();
//Xaml
<ListView Margin="338,20,1,16" Name="lvDataBinding">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding PName}">
<GridViewColumnHeader Tag="Product Name" Width="100">Product Name</GridViewColumnHeader>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
<ComboBox x:Name="cbItem" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="13,315,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="321" SelectionChanged="cbItem_SelectionChanged"/>

Well what you are doing is that you are adding the LINQ Query result as "one object" to your list view. So the list view is not dealing with each piddata but with one "IEnumable".
So either you are adding them one by one or you change to assignment of ItemsSource.

Draw resizable table in WPF

I mean how should I display my datastructure for I can work with it like with table?
I want to have a table with rows and columns can be dynamicaly added and removed, but in the rest is should looks like a table.
Now it's represented like IList>, because I should resize it, as I said before. But now i want to display it in DataGrid, and be able to have rows, coulmns, and work with "Cells". But i cannot bind it properly, it it does not display anything, only an empty cell for every row.
What should I do? Or mby use arrays and resize them after each row/column addition?
Please, advice.
Now I have this one:
private void MainWindow_OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var storage = new Storage();
storage.Data.Add(new DataRow("Bla-bla")
{
new DataEntity() {Text = "bla-bla", Forces = new[] {ForceEnum.AA}},
new DataEntity() {Text = "bla-bla", Forces = new[] {ForceEnum.UA}}
});
DataListView.DataContext = new StorageModel(storage);
}
public class StorageModel
{
public StorageModel()
{
}
public StorageModel(IStorage storage)
{
DataRowList = new ObservableCollection<DataRow>(storage.Data);
}
public ObservableCollection<DataRow> DataRowList
{
get;
set;
}
}
public class DataRow : IList<DataEntity>
{
public string Name { get; private set; }
private readonly List<DataEntity> _list = new List<DataEntity>();
...
_
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding DataRowList}" Name="DataListView">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
i want be able to create something similar to this, but with 2-way binding...

You seem to be asking for TreeView and not ListView since you have a tree alike data structure.
If you do not want to use a TreeView I would suggest you to use a simple ListView with a small trick. That is you could explose an Expander which will add or remove items underneath parent with an indent to fake tree look and still all cells in column would be resized together.
Btw dont forgot to define columns
Here is how:
<ListView Margin="10" Name="lvUsers">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Name" Width="120" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" />
<GridViewColumn Header="Age" Width="50" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Age}" />
<GridViewColumn Header="Mail" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Mail}" />
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
If you wish to implement that expander trick behavior I would suggest you to listen to event OnExpanded and add or remove the needed rows.

Capturing the contents of a Listview row as variables

C# WPF
I have a list view with 3 columns in it. What I want to happen is when I double click on a row, it will capture the values of the columns for the selected row and store them as variables so I can pass them off to another page or simply manipulate them as needed. What I have here is my practice code. For right now, I am just populating a message box to see if I can get the variables out correctly. What is happening is it is not grabbing anything from the row. I figured this out by removing the if block and saw that string name = selectedObject.ilName; was null. an additional question I have is in regards to the statement ingListLV.SelectedItems[0] as InventoryList the [0], what exactly does that refer to? I initally thought it referred to the values it returned, so [0] would be the value in column 1, [1] would be column 2 etc. but i know that is wrong.
Here is my XAML
<ListView x:Name="ingListLV" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="100" Margin="0,145,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="Auto"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
SelectedValuePath="InventoryName"
Style="{DynamicResource listViewStyle}"
MouseDoubleClick="Open_Edit">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn x:Name="InvName" Width="100" Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=InventoryName}" />
<GridViewColumn Width="50" Header="Qty" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Qty}" />
<GridViewColumn Width="50" Header="Type" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Type}" />
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
and my code behind
private void Open_Edit(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var selectedObject = ingListLV.SelectedItems[0] as InventoryList;
if (selectedObject == null)
{
return;
}
string name = selectedObject.ilName;
MessageBox.Show(name);
}
public class InventoryList
{
public string ilName { get; set; }
public decimal ilQty { get; set; }
public string ilType { get; set; }
}
EDIT
Here is where i am loading data in to the listview
private void LoadLV()
{
auroraDataEntities = new AuroraDataEntities();
ObjectQuery<Inventory> inventories = auroraDataEntities.Inventories;
//Returns only opjects with a quantity greater than 0, so it won't show anything you are out of
var fillList = from q in inventories
where q.Qty > 0
select q;
ingListLV.ItemsSource = fillList.ToList();
}

In ListView.SelectionMode Single (which is default) use SelectedItem not SelectedItems.
var selectedObject = ingListLV.SelectedItem as Inventory;
The [0] refers to the first selected item (row) in a multiple selection.

How can I programmatically add a multi-column ListViewItem without any data binding?

I have a ListView with 3 headers, declared in XAML as follows:
<ListView Name="myListView">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="H1"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="H2"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="H3"/>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
I want to programmatically add a ListViewItem to this ListView, being able to set the content within the ListViewItem that will go under the first, second, and third columns individually. So far, I have only gotten this far:
ListViewItem l = new ListViewItem();
l.Content = "Content";
myListView.Items.Add(l);
This sets each column to the string "Content". How can I change the code above so that I can add a ListViewItem that will display "Content 1", "Content 2", and "Content 3" under the first, second, and third columns respectively? I tried to look for a SubItem or ListViewSubItem property within ListViewItem, but found nothing.
I assume there's a simple solution, but maybe I'm wrong. Please do not mention data binding, because I only want an answer to the question of programmatically setting the Content property to reflect individual changes in each column.
Thank you very much.

This is not databinding. Think of the Binding statement as giving the column a name.
<ListView Name="myListView">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="H1" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Col1}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="H2" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Col2}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="H3" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Col3}"/>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
In code:
myListView.Items.Add(new { Col1 = "test1", Col2 = "Test2", Col3="test3"});

In winforms here is what you do.
You have to set the column headins first, otherwise nothing will show. The add the list view items using a string array.
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
listView1.View=View.Details;
//Set Columns
listView1.Columns.Add("Col1");
listView1.Columns.Add("Col2");
listView1.Columns.Add("Col3");
//Fill Rows
ListViewItem lvi;
lvi=new ListViewItem(new string[] { "A", "B", "C" });
listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
lvi=new ListViewItem(new string[] { "D", "E", "F" });
listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
lvi=new ListViewItem(new string[] { "G", "H", "I" });
listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
}
}
