I want to create a gallery image on the first page contains a thumbnail for that category and when thumbnail is selected, it will open the image and description of the selected image in flipview (can be swipe to the right and to the left when thumbnail is selected for the image before and after). I have difficulties when applying it into flipview.
Code:
MainPage XAML
<GridView
x:Name="itemGridView"
AutomationProperties.AutomationId="ItemGridView"
AutomationProperties.Name="Grouped Items"
Grid.RowSpan="3"
Padding="116,137,40,46"

</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
<GridView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<ItemsWrapGrid GroupPadding="0,0,70,0"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GridView.ItemsPanel>
</GridView>
MainPage:
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
Gallery();
}
private async void Gallery()
{
var sampleDataGroups = await DataItemSource.GetGroupsAsync();
this.DefaultViewModel["Groups"] = sampleDataGroups;
}
void ItemView_ItemClick(object sender, ItemClickEventArgs e)
{
// Navigate to the appropriate destination page, configuring the new page
// by passing required information as a navigation parameter
var itemId = ((SampleDataItem)e.ClickedItem).UniqueId;
this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(ItemDetailPage), itemId);
}
ItemDetailPage XAML:
<Grid Grid.Row="1" x:Name="contentRegion" Background="#FF6996D1">
<Image Source="{Binding ImagePath}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="559" Margin="84,20,0,49" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="732"/>
<ScrollViewer x:Name="myScroll" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Margin="852,60,50,91" VerticalScrollMode="Auto" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Height="2210" Width="425" FontSize="27" TextAlignment="Justify" />
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
ItemDetailPage Code:
public ItemDetailPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
this.navigationHelper = new NavigationHelper(this);
this.navigationHelper.LoadState += navigationHelper_LoadState;
}
private async void navigationHelper_LoadState(object sender, LoadStateEventArgs e)
{
// TODO: Create an appropriate data model for your problem domain to replace the sample data
var item = await DataItemSource.GetItemAsync((String)e.NavigationParameter);
this.DefaultViewModel["Item"] = item;
}
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
navigationHelper.OnNavigatedTo(e);
}
protected override void OnNavigatedFrom(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
navigationHelper.OnNavigatedFrom(e);
}
How do I apply flipview on ItemDetailPage?
Note:
For more code detail you can view the sample
To apply flipview on ItemDetailPage, we can add FlipView under "contentRegion" and set the Image and ScrollViewer as FlipView's ItemTemplate like following:
<Grid x:Name="contentRegion" Grid.Row="1" Background="#FF6996D1">
<FlipView ItemsSource="{Binding Group.Items}" SelectedItem="{Binding Item, Mode=TwoWay}">
<FlipView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Image Width="732"
Height="559"
Margin="84,20,0,49"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Source="{Binding ImagePath}" />
<ScrollViewer x:Name="myScroll"
Margin="852,60,50,91"
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
VerticalScrollMode="Auto">
<TextBlock Width="425"
Height="2210"
FontSize="27"
Text="{Binding Description}"
TextAlignment="Justify"
TextWrapping="Wrap" />
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</FlipView.ItemTemplate>
</FlipView>
</Grid>
And in code-behind, set the data source like following:
private async void navigationHelper_LoadState(object sender, LoadStateEventArgs e)
{
// TODO: Create an appropriate data model for your problem domain to replace the sample data
var item = await DataItemSource.GetItemAsync((String)e.NavigationParameter);
var group = await DataItemSource.GetGroupByItemAsync(item);
this.DefaultViewModel["Group"] = group;
this.DefaultViewModel["Item"] = item;
}
Here I add a GetGroupByItemAsync(SampleDataItem item) method in DataItemSource which can retrieve the group according to the item.
public static async Task<SampleDataGroup> GetGroupByItemAsync(SampleDataItem item)
{
await _DataItemSource.GetSampleDataAsync();
// Simple linear search is acceptable for small data sets
var matches = _DataItemSource.Groups.Where(group => group.Items.Contains(item));
if (matches.Count() == 1) return matches.First();
return null;
}
Besides these, we also need to remove DataContext="{Binding Item}" form root Grid and put in in <Grid Background="#FF6996D1" DataContext="{Binding Item}">.
After this, the FlipView should be able to work. However here is a strange behavior, if we select the second or third image, the previous image in flip view won't show like following
We are investigating on this issue. As a workaround, we can disable FlipView's virtualization by changing its ItemsPanel like:
<FlipView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</FlipView.ItemsPanel>

I have create simple drag drop in WPF. In my application there are two Listviews. I have to drag list items from first listview and drop the item to second listview. I have created custom data template for first listview. When i drag the first listview item into second listview the data template is not customized so items are not displayed. How to display the list items with generic. Please help. My Code is as below,
<Grid Margin="0,20,0,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ListBox
Name="memberCollection"
Grid.Column="1"
Width="150"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="memberCollection_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
<Grid
Name="gridDrop"
Grid.Column="0"
Margin="20,0,0,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
ListBox.Drop="grid_Drop"
ShowGridLines="True">
<ListBox
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Margin="10,10,0,0"
AllowDrop="True" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
Code Behind
ObservableCollection<Member> member = new ObservableCollection<Member>();
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
member.Add(new Member { Name = "Karthick", ID = "20011", Address = "10, MainRoad, Chennai" });
memberCollection.ItemsSource = member;
DataContext = new Member();
}
private void memberCollection_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
object selectedMember = memberCollection.SelectedItem as Member;
if (selectedMember != null)
DragDrop.DoDragDrop(memberCollection, selectedMember, DragDropEffects.All);
}
private void grid_Drop(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ListBox listContent = e.Source as ListBox;
if (listContent != null)
Console.WriteLine("", Grid.GetColumn(listContent), Grid.GetRow(listContent));
DataObject item = (((DragEventArgs)e).Data) as DataObject;
object Target = ((Grid)(sender)).DataContext;
object listItem = item.GetData(Target.GetType());
if (listItem != null)
{
//listContent.Items.Add(listItem.Name.ToString());
//listContent.Items.Add(listItem.ID.ToString());
//listContent.Items.Add(listItem.Address.ToString());
//listContent.ItemTemplate = memberCollection.ItemTemplate;
listContent.Items.Add(listItem);
}
}
If you define the DataTemplate as a reusable resource, you can use it in both ListBoxes:
<Grid Margin="0,20,0,0">
<Grid.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="dataTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Grid.Resources>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ListBox
Name="memberCollection"
Grid.Column="1"
Width="150"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="memberCollection_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplate}" />
<Grid
Name="gridDrop"
Grid.Column="0"
Margin="20,0,0,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
ListBox.Drop="grid_Drop"
ShowGridLines="True">
<ListBox
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Margin="10,10,0,0"
AllowDrop="True"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplate}"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
If you want to display some other properties of the dropped Member in the second ListBox, you should define another ItemTemplate:
<ListBox
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Margin="10,10,0,0"
AllowDrop="True">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" />
<TextBlock Tag="{Binding Address}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
I know there are a lot of question like this in the web, but believe me I spent on this a lot of hours and I still not success, I really will glad for any help!
I loading various images in run time and I want to show them in list box (small images, then the user should click on one of them and show him in real size).
my code is:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
int imageNumber = 0;
public List<String> ImagePath = new List<String>();
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
lb_Images.ItemsSource = ImagePath;
}
private void bu_addImage_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
addImageToListBox();
}
private void addImageToListBox()
{
imageNumber++;
if (imageNumber == 4) imageNumber = 0;
string directoryPath = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
// load input image
string ImageFilename = directoryPath + "img";
ImageFilename += imageNumber.ToString();
ImageFilename += ".jpg";
ImagePath.Add(ImageFilename);
}
}
and the xaml is:

I know that the list box updated when I add image path to the list because if I debug I found some items under lb_Images.items, but I show nothing.
I'll glad for any help! thank you!!
Some notes
DataContext for ListBox it's not necessary, then you set ItemSource. Instead of set the ItemTemplate
In DataTemplate remove the {Binding ImagePath}, instead of write {Binding}, because in this case the elements of the DataTemplate inherit DataContext.
When you add new items to ListBox.Items, you must call ListBox.Items.Refresh() or use the ObservableCollection<T>, because:
ObservableCollection represents a dynamic data collection that provides notifications when items get added, removed, or when the whole list is refreshed.
Try this example:
XAML
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ImageGalleryDataTemplate">
<Grid>
<Border BorderBrush="#FFFF9800" BorderThickness="1" Width="120" Height="120" Padding="5" Margin="5" CornerRadius="6">
<Image Source="{Binding}" Stretch="Fill" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Image.ToolTip>
<Grid>
<Image Source="{Binding}" Stretch="Fill" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="200" Width="200" />
</Grid>
</Image.ToolTip>
</Image>
</Border>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="ImageGalleryItemsPanelTemplate">
<UniformGrid Rows="1" Columns="25" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Canvas Height="177" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="canvas1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="497">
<ListBox Canvas.Left="6" Canvas.Top="5" Height="166" Name="lb_Images" Width="441"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ImageGalleryDataTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ImagePath}">
</ListBox>
<Button Canvas.Left="453" Canvas.Top="26" Content="Add" Height="64" Name="bu_addImage" Width="38" Click="bu_addImage_Click" />
</Canvas>
</Grid>
Code-behind
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
int imageNumber = 0;
public List<String> ImagePath = new List<String>();
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
lb_Images.ItemsSource = ImagePath;
}
private void bu_addImage_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
addImageToListBox();
}
private void addImageToListBox()
{
imageNumber++;
if (imageNumber == 4) imageNumber = 0;
string directoryPath = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
// load input image
string ImageFilename = directoryPath + "img";
ImageFilename += imageNumber.ToString();
ImageFilename += ".jpg";
ImagePath.Add(ImageFilename);
lb_Images.Items.Refresh();
}
}

Preview - name of my class
How can i get index of PressedItem?
What should i write here -
private void AddrBook_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{ }
you should write
var longlistselector = (sender as LongListSelector);
int index = longlistselector.DataSource.IndexOf(longlistselector.SelectedItem);

I think this is what you need.
In my Windows Phone application I have a listBox with ContentItems binding :
private ObservableCollection<ContentItemViewModel> _contentItems;
public ObservableCollection<ContentItemViewModel> ContentItems
{
get { return _contentItems; }
}

Is it possible to binding not an ObservableCollection<ContentItemViewModel>, but - ObservableCollection<List<ContentItemViewModel>> ?
Yes that is possible, if you have a collection of collections. Or why not this?
ObservableCollection<ObservableCollection<ContentItemViewModel>>
If you want your UI to be notified of collection changes to your sub collections.
Update
For example:
View Model
public ObservableCollection<ObservableCollection<ContentItemViewModel>> ContentItems
{
get { return _contentItems; }
set { _contentItems = value; // Notify of property change here, this allows you to change the ContentItems reference after view model construction }
}
public MyViewModel()
{
// Populate content items
this.ContentItems = new ObservableCollection
{
new ObservableCollection { new ContentItemViewModel() },
new ObservableCollection { new ContentItemViewModel(), new ContentItemViewModel() }
};
}
View
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding ContentItems}" ...>
