DataTemplate Based on Value of Bound Property in ItemsSource of TabControl - c#

Ok. So I have a TabControl object in my xaml that has an ItemsSource value of ItemsSource={Binding OpenTabs} where OpenTabs is an ObservableCollection of type ClosableTab (public ObservableCollection<ClosableTab> OpenTabs { get; set; }) which extends TabItem. I found ClosableTab from here and then have adapted it's view for my own needs.
Primarily I have added a property (and sorry for the confusion in names here) isProperty. This is for a real estate program. Then in my xaml I have the following lines:
<DataTemplate x:Key="PropertyTemplate">
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding address}"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="TennantTemplate">
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding name}"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
//... That's in <Windows.Resources>
<TabControl ItemsSource="{Binding OpenTabs}" Grid.Column="1" x:Name="Tabs">
<TabControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="DefaultTab">
<ContentControl>
<ContentControl.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding isProperty}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource PropertyTemplate}" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding isProperty}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource TennantTemplate}" />
</DataTrigger>
</ContentControl.Triggers>
</ContentControl>
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.Resources>
</TabControl>
I've done some research and found that this is what I need to do if I want to have a certain DataTemplate dependant on the property in ClosableTab called isProperty.
It's not giving me what I want. Can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong here? And tell me what I should do? And/or possibly give me an alternative method? I can't think of what I need to change to get the functionality that I need. Thanks in advance.

You need to set DataType on DataTemplate to get it applied automatically to underlying data objects in case you are defining DataTemplate under Resources section.
<DataTemplate DataType="local:ClosableTab">
<ContentControl>
<ContentControl.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding isProperty}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource PropertyTemplate}" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding isProperty}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource TennantTemplate}" />
</DataTrigger>
</ContentControl.Triggers>
</ContentControl>
</DataTemplate>
Make sure to declare local namespace at root level to the one where ClosableTab is declared.
OR
Instead of adding DataTemplate in resources, set it explicitly as ItemTemplate of TabControl.
<TabControl>
<TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="DefaultTab">
.....
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ItemTemplate>
</TabControl>
UPDATE
Ideal case would be to have single DataTemplate and apply dataTrigger on TextBlock instead.
<TabControl ItemsSource="{Binding OpenTabs}">
<TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock>
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="{Binding address}"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding isProperty}"
Value="False">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="{Binding name}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ItemTemplate>
</TabControl>

Xceed Property Grid style name based on value

I want to set background of "Name2" to gray because the value is "2".
How can I achieve this?
I tried using DataTrigger with a converter on "PropertyItem" but I had no luck.
You could define an EditorTemplate for the Name2 property:
<xctk:PropertyGrid ...>
<xctk:PropertyGrid.EditorDefinitions>
<xctk:EditorDefinition>
<xctk:EditorDefinition.PropertiesDefinitions>
<xctk:PropertyDefinition Name="Name2" />
</xctk:EditorDefinition.PropertiesDefinitions>
<xctk:EditorDefinition.EditorTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Value}">
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Value}" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</xctk:EditorDefinition.EditorTemplate>
</xctk:EditorDefinition>
</xctk:PropertyGrid.EditorDefinitions>
</xctk:PropertyGrid>

DataTrigger with Property = ItemControl.ItemTemplate

I Am having some trouble getting this binding to work. I have several objects within SettingCollection that all have an enum property. I want to generate a control based on what the value of this is. But when I check this value with a data trigger it does not work.
Can anyone provide some insight into how i can accomplish this?
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="CheckboxNode">
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Status}" Margin="0,5,0,0">
<ContentPresenter Content="{Binding DisplayName}"/>
</CheckBox>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="TextboxNode">
<TextBox Text="Badgers"></TextBox>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding SettingCollection}">
<ItemsControl.Style>
<Style TargetType="ItemsControl">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Type}" Value="checkbox">
<Setter Property="ItemsControl.ItemTemplate" Value="{StaticResource CheckboxNode}" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Type}" Value="textbox">
<Setter Property="ItemsControl.ItemTemplate" Value="{StaticResource TextboxNode}" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ItemsControl.Style>
</ItemsControl>
If Type property is in SettingNode class, and SettingCollection is a collection of SettingNode objects, then your binding in the Datatriggers is incorrect. DataTriggers will look for Type property in ItemsControl DataContext (class with SettingCollection). Try to use DataTemplateSelector https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.datatemplateselector(v=vs.110).aspx

Trigger Content of ContentControl

I've got a DataTemplate which looks like this
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type viewModel:TreeViewLeafViewModel}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Name="leafImage"/>
<TextBlock Name="leafTextBlockDisplayName" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBlock Name="leafTextBlockKeyGesture" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</StackPanel>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Row, Converter={StaticResource MatchTypeConverter},
ConverterParameter={x:Type viewModel:TreeViewLeafViewModel}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Source" TargetName="leafImage" Value="{Binding Path=Row.Icon, Mode=OneTime}" />
<Setter Property="Text" TargetName="leafTextBlockDisplayName" Value="{Binding Path=Row.DisplayName, Mode=OneTime}" />
<Setter Property="Text" TargetName="leafTextBlockKeyGesture" Value="{Binding Path=Row.KeyGesture.KeyModifierString, Mode=OneTime}" />
</DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
I would like to replace the leafTextBlockKeyGesture by a TextBox if the IsEditing flag of the corresponding viewmodel is set to true. My Idea was to use a ContentControl inside the DataTemplate and change its Content depending on the IsEditing flag. I tried several solutions but I cannot find a working one.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Based on this answer you need something like this:
<StackPanel>
<StackPanel.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="textbox">
<TextBox Text="edit me"/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="textblock">
<TextBlock Text="can't edit"/>
</DataTemplate>
</StackPanel.Resources>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsEditable}" Content="Editable"/>
<ContentControl Content="{Binding}">
<ContentControl.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource textblock}" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsEditable}" Value="true">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource textbox}" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ContentControl.Style>
</ContentControl>
</StackPanel>

How to Bind an another Control on the Setter Value Property by using a Trigger?

i've a little Problem with the Databinding in WPF an hope you can help me.
I want to bind the SelectedDate Parameter of a DatePicker on a TextBlock, but only when a CheckBox is checked. The CheckBox and the TextBlock are in a DataView, the DatePicker is outside.
In the Moment i try to use it with a Trigger an set the Binding in the Value-Property in the Setter Part.
<TextBlock Text="">
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsChecked}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="{Binding ElementName=StandartPitBis, Path=SelectedDate, StringFormat='dd.MM.yyyy'}" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
But this will not works. Has anywone a Tipp what i can do?
Here is the Code-Parts there i'm using:
Inside the GridView
The CheckBox
<GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Content="" x:Name="check_Anlage" IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsChecked}" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
The TextBlock
<TextBlock Text="">
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsChecked}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="{Binding ElementName=StandartPitBis, Path=SelectedDate, StringFormat='dd.MM.yyyy'}" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
Outside the GridView
The DatePicker
<DatePicker Grid.Column="1" Margin="0,5,0,5" SelectedDate="{x:Static sys:DateTime.Now}" x:Name="StandartPitVon" />
What i want to make is, that the SelectedDate from the DatePicker is shown in the TextBlock, but only when the CheckBox is Checked.
Thanks a lot
So. I've found the Problem. The Problem is, when a Property is set in the Object self, then it can't be overridet. When you need a Default-Value and a Trigger, then you must define the Default-Value in the Style too.
Example:
<TextBlock>
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsChecked}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="{Binding ElementName=StandartPitVon, Path=SelectedDate, StringFormat='dd.MM.yyyy'}" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>

GridViewColumn with ComboBox and UserControl

I have a GridViewColumn with Combobox BAsed on ComboBox selected I want to dynamically put UI elements.Below given is the code.OperatorList has three values "Between","After","Before".Based on this selection the template has to be loaded.If "Between" Multiple TextBox else Single textbox.This part works fine.But to get the content of this and store in Model Class for each row is where i am encountering problem.
<StackPanel>
<ComboBox Grid.Column="0" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=OperatorList}" IsEditable="True"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
SelectedValue="{Binding ReferenceOperatorSelected}" />
<UserControl x:Name="MyControl">
</UserControl>
</StackPanel>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ReferenceOperatorSelected}" Value="Between">
<Setter TargetName="MyControl" Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource MultipleTextBoxTemplate}"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ReferenceOperatorSelected}" Value="After">
<Setter TargetName="MyControl" Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource SingleTextBoxTemplate}"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ReferenceOperatorSelected}" Value="Before">
<Setter TargetName="MyControl" Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource SingleTextBoxTemplate}"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTemplate x:Key="MultipleTextBoxTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Path=BetweenValue1,Mode=TwoWay,NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True}" MinWidth="40"></TextBox>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Path=BetweenValue2,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" MinWidth="40"></TextBox>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
In my Model class I have two properties BetweenValue1 and BetweenVAlue2 ...These are not updated when i key in value in textboxes..
You have not set the Content for your UserControl. just try doing
<UserControl x:Name="MyControl" Content="{Binding}"/>
