Combobox itemtemplate and string or comboboxitem - c#

Need a small fix with comboboxitems in wpf. I want to show the comboboxitems or in the comboxbox (textblock) with an image beside. I couldn't get it done. Can someone help me with the fix please?
Thanks in advance
<ComboBox Name="avilibity" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="1">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="25"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="1" Source="/resources/icon.png" ></Image>
<TextBlock FontSize="14" Grid.Column="2" ></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<sys:String>Available</sys:String>
<sys:String>Offline</sys:String>
<sys:String>Away</sys:String>
</ComboBox>

First Problem is that the Grid Column index is 0 based - means Image shold have Grid.Column = "0", TextBlock = "1".
Should it be allways the same image? Consider using of user-defined object as property with binding. Thus you can have individual icons.
May be one of the gurus here can provide XAML-only example... i can imagine only with code behind...
Here two possible solutions:
Code behind in C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using System.ComponentModel;
namespace ListImageWithText
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaktionslogik für MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void OnNotifyPropertyChanged(String info)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(info));
}
}
private List<ImageWithText> _objectlist;
public List<ImageWithText> ObjectList
{
get
{
return _objectlist;
}
set
{
_objectlist = value;
OnNotifyPropertyChanged("ObjectList");
}
}
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
ImageWithText iwt;
this._objectlist = new List<ImageWithText>();
iwt = new ImageWithText();
iwt.Image = "App.ico";
iwt.Text = "Away";
this._objectlist.Add(iwt);
iwt = new ImageWithText();
iwt.Image = "App.ico";
iwt.Text = "Available";
this._objectlist.Add(iwt);
iwt = new ImageWithText();
iwt.Image = "App.ico";
iwt.Text = "Offline";
this._objectlist.Add(iwt);
OnNotifyPropertyChanged("ObjectList");
}
}
public class ImageWithText
{
public string Image { get; set; }
public string Text { get; set; }
}
}
Define small class with two public properties, present list of those objects as property and use binding in XAML
<ComboBox Name="avilibity"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Grid.Column="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding ObjectList, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType=Window}}">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="25"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Source="{Binding Image}" />
<TextBlock FontSize="14" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Text}"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
The simplest way with XAML repetitions - is use of ComboBox Items, i do not preffer this path...
<ComboBox Name="avilibity"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Grid.Column="1">
<ComboBoxItem>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="25"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Source="App.ico" ></Image>
<TextBlock FontSize="14" Grid.Column="1" >Available</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="25"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Source="App.ico" ></Image>
<TextBlock FontSize="14" Grid.Column="1" >Offline</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="25"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Source="App.ico" ></Image>
<TextBlock FontSize="14" Grid.Column="1" >Away</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>

There are few mistakes in your code:
1. Row & Column are start with index 0;
2. TextBlock need to set the Text Property, so that it can display.
If you just want to display the same icon,
this code will gonna work(this can fix your perblom):
<ComboBox Name="avilibity" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="1">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="25"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Source="/resources/icon.png" ></Image>
<TextBlock FontSize="14" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding}"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<sys:String>Available</sys:String>
<sys:String>Offline</sys:String>
<sys:String>Away</sys:String>
</ComboBox>
But as I saw, there are three kind of state of the items.
Maybe you want to change the image when different item display.
Here is my solution:
<Window.Resources>
<converters:ImageSourceConverter x:Key="ImageSourceConverter" />
</Window.Resources>
<ComboBox Name="avilibity" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="1">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="25"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Source="{Binding Converter={StaticResource ImageSourceConverter}}" />
<TextBlock FontSize="14" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding}"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<sys:String>Available</sys:String>
<sys:String>Offline</sys:String>
<sys:String>Away</sys:String>
</ComboBox>
ImageSourceConverter:
public class ImageSourceConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
return new BitmapImage(new Uri("/resources/" + value + ".png",UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}

Bind Combobox in WPF to Entity class

I have a data input form where i have textboxes,comboboxes and datepickers. I want to Bind comboboxes to the DB column so that users select the correct value for insertion. I have attached the viewmodel class and XAML code. In the viewmodel code "private void GetSW()" - this gets all the list of the entity class and "private void addSW()" this adds the record to the DB, Except the combobox binding everything works fine. in XAML i have binded combobox like this but this give blank combobox, please help what i am missing. I researched many topics on this forum but didn't find any solution

I guess you want to display the list of SoftwareDefEntity objects in your ComboBox.
Bind to the SWentities property then:
<ComboBox x:Name="PSW" Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="2" ItemsSource="{Binding SWentities}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" ... />
And raise the PropertyChanged event in its setter of this property:
private List<SoftwareDefEntity> _swEntities;
public List<SoftwareDefEntity> SWentities
{
get { return _swEntities; }
set { _swEntities = value; RaisePropertyChanged(); }
}
This is the code to bind the data to combobox. i did not add any of other controls since those are working fine at your place. Observable collection is easy way to bind combobox .
Here is your View Model..
public class SoftwareVersionListViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
public SoftwareVersionListViewModel()
{
GetSW();
}
//Define the observable collection
private ObservableCollection<SoftwareDefEntity> _SWmappings2 = new ObservableCollection<SoftwareDefEntity>();
//here is your Entity list
public List<SoftwareDefEntity> SWentities
{
get;
set;
}
// Obeservable collection property for access
public ObservableCollection<SoftwareDefEntity> SWmappings2
{
get { return _SWmappings2; }
set
{
_SWmappings2 = value;
OnPropertyChanged("appeventmappings2");
}
}
/// <summary>
/// load the combobox
/// </summary>
private void GetSW() // Method that reads the data from the service layer
{
SWDefService obj = new SWDefService();
SWentities = obj.getSW(); //getSW is the method refered in Service layer
SWentities.ForEach(_SWmappings2.Add);
}
}
and Xaml...
<ComboBox x:Name="ComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding SWmappings2, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" DisplayMemberPath="PreviousSW" SelectedItem="{Binding PreviousSW, Mode=TwoWay}" Grid.Row="0" >
</ComboBox>

SilverLight Get control Value inside Combo Box

I am working on silverlight and I am new in it, I have a combox box,inside which I have a checkbox and textbox. I want to get the value of these controls on button click, How can I do this in SilverLight?
This is my ComboBox
<ComboBox x:Name="Type" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="2,8,-2,0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Height="28" Padding="3">
<ComboBoxItem>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="20"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="105" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="60" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<CheckBox IsChecked="true" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="0"/>
<TextBlock Text="All" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="1" Style="{x:Null}" FontSize="11"/>
</Grid>
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="20"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="105" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="60" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<CheckBox IsChecked="true" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="0"/>
<TextBlock Text="General" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="1" Style="{x:Null}" FontSize="11"/>
<TextBox Text="25" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="2" FontSize="11" Padding="2" HorizontalContentAlignment="Right"/>
</Grid>
</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>
User have option to select multiple values
I am using MVVM pattern
Since all of your ComboBox Items are unchanging, you can give Names to those items and reference them directly.
<ComboBoxItem x:Name="ComboItemAll">
...
</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem x:Name="ComboItemGeneral">
...
</ComboBoxItem>
and the in the Button Click event:
if (ComboItemAll.IsSelected)
{
...
}
else if (ComboItemGeneral.IsSelected)
{
...
}
alternatively, you could also get this information from your ComboBox "Type":
var selectedItem = Type.SelectedItem;
if (selectedItem.Name.StartsWith("ComboItemAll"))
{
...
}
else if (selectedItem.Name.StartsWith("ComboItemGeneral"))
{
...
}
For MVVM (Edit):
Xaml (View):
<ComboBox SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedCustomItem, Mode=TwoWay}" ItemsSource="{CustomItems}" ItemTemplate={StaticResource CustomItemsTemplate} />
Xaml (Resource):
<DataTemplate x:Key="CustomItemsTemplate">
<StackPanel
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected}" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding CustomPropertyFromCustomClass}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
VM:
public class ViewModel
{
public ViewModel()
{
CustomItems = new ObservableCollection<CustomClass>();
CustomItems.Add(new CustomClass() { "All" });
CustomItems.Add(new CustomClass() { "General" });
}
private ObservableCollection<CustomClass> customItems = null;
public ObservableCollection<CustomClass> CustomItems
{
get { return customItems; }
set
{
if (object.Equals(value, customItems) == false)
{
customItems = value;
OnPropertyChanged(() => CustomItems);
}
}
}
private CustomClass selectedCustomItem = null;
public CustomClass SelectedCustomItem
{
get { return selectedCustomItem; }
set
{
if (object.Equals(value, selectedCustomItem) == false)
{
selectedCustomItem= value;
OnPropertyChanged(() => SelectedCustomItem);
}
}
}
}
You should never reference your combobox directly from the ViewModel. Everything in your ViewModel should be related to data manipulation and know nothing of the View (aka ComboBox).
Everything else should be done in the view. If you need to access the ComboBox, you need you ask yourself why, and can I do that logic in the XAML through templates and bindings?

How to add ListView with datatemplate to Button Flyout in windows store app 8.1 c#

I have a requirement like when I click on Button Flyout should come with the list of dynamic data and specified template. Below is the code in Xaml. But the Flyout is not Loading with any data.
<Button Content="Folders" >
<FlyoutBase.AttachedFlyout>
<Flyout >
<ListView x:Name="lstEmailFolder" >
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="40"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="/Images/Favorite_icon.png" Height="30" Width="30" Grid.Column="1" />
<TextBlock Text="{StaticResource Foldername}" Width="30" Height="30" Foreground="White" FontSize="20"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Flyout>
</FlyoutBase.AttachedFlyout>
</Button>
You havent bind Itemsource property to Listview and instead of Text="{StaticResource Foldername}" use Text="{Binding Foldername}"
xaml
<Button Content="Display Flyout">
<Button.Flyout>
<Flyout>
<ListView x:Name="lstEmailFolder" >
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="40"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Foldername}" Width="30" Height="30" Foreground="White" FontSize="20"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Flyout>
</Button.Flyout>
</Button>
c#
this.InitializeComponent();
List<FlyoutData> data = new List<FlyoutData>();
data.Add(new FlyoutData("Folder1"));
data.Add(new FlyoutData("Folder2"));
lstEmailFolder.ItemsSource = data;
public class FlyoutData
{
public string Foldername { get; set; }
public FlyoutData(string Foldername)
{
this.Foldername = Foldername;
}
}

Concatenate binding text and static text in source image

Is it possible to concatenate binding text with a static text in source image
For example:
<Image Name="ImagePlace" Source="http://site.com/image/architecture.png" Grid.Column="0" />
<Image Name="ImagePlace" Source="{Binding Path=Ico}" Grid.Column="0" />
And i would like to concatenate the two sources.
I have a list of object named Category that contains a field Icon that contains for example "architecture.png". I bind it in a list.
The url of site doesn't change but the image changes always.
<ListBox x:Name="ListboxCategories">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Name="category" Tag="{Binding Path=Id}" Tap="category_Tap_1">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="2*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Name="ImagePlace" Source="http://www.test.com/assets/images/icons/tags/architecture.png" Grid.Column="0" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Title}" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<Image Name="chevron" Grid.Column="2" Source="/Assets/AppBar/White/appbar.chevron.right.png" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="50" Height="50" />
</Grid>
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
The cleanest way (well, depending on your architecture) would be to add a property in your object to do the concatenation:
public string FullUri
{
get
{
return "http://site.com/image/" + this.Ico
}
}
Another way is to use a custom converter to do the concatenation.
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
if (value == null)
{
return null;
}
return "http://site.com/image/" + value.ToString();
}

wpf autocompletebox binding

I've created some UserControls which are wrapping some standard controls, for example: a textbox/combobox + Image + textblock. I'm trying to do the same thing with AutoCompleteBox and have failed so far...
The list of items is shown fine, I can select na item, but that doesn't trigger a change to the SelectedItem. I'm using almost the same code for combobox so not sure what's wrong...
Anyway I've played around with ValueMemberPath / ValueMemberBinding on the AutoCompleteBox but not sure if that's the way to go.
The UserControl xaml:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,0,2,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="{Binding ElementName=ACProperty, Path=ImageSource}" VerticalAlignment="Center"
MaxHeight="30" MaxWidth="30" Margin="1" Grid.Column="0" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=ACProperty, Path=Label}" VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Column="1" Margin="1" TextWrapping="Wrap" Width="100" />
</Grid>
<toolkitInput:AutoCompleteBox FilterMode="ContainsOrdinal" IsTextCompletionEnabled="True"
ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=ACProperty, Path=ItemsSource}"
SelectedItem="{Binding ElementName=ACProperty, Path=SelectedItem}"
MinimumPrefixLength="2"
MinimumPopulateDelay="300"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="1" Margin="1,1,2,1" />
</Grid>
The code behind:
public static DependencyProperty LabelProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"Label", typeof(string), typeof(AutoCompleteProperty));
public static readonly DependencyProperty ItemsSourceProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("ItemsSource", typeof(object), typeof(AutoCompleteProperty));
public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectedItemProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("SelectedItem", typeof(object), typeof(AutoCompleteProperty),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata() { BindsTwoWayByDefault = true });

SetValue(ImageSourceProperty, value);
}
}
And in a UserControl/Window where I would like to use it:
<cont:AutoCompleteProperty Label="Product Category"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ProductCategories}"
SelectedItem="{Binding Path=ProductCategory}"
ImageSource="..."/>
I have updated binding in the following code....
<UserControl x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Height="350" Width="525"
xmlns:toolkitInput="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit"
x:Name="root"
>
<Grid>![enter image description here][1]
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,0,2,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource,ElementName=root}" VerticalAlignment="Center" MaxWidth="100" Margin="1" Grid.Column="0" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Label,ElementName=root}" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Column="1" Margin="1" TextWrapping="Wrap" Width="100" />
</Grid>
<toolkitInput:AutoCompleteBox FilterMode="ContainsOrdinal" IsTextCompletionEnabled="True"
ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsSource,ElementName=root}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem,ElementName=root}"
MinimumPrefixLength="2"
MinimumPopulateDelay="300"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="1" Margin="1,1,2,1" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Here is a image of the window using the above code
I made few changes in your bindings.
Observe usercontrol DataContext.
<UserControl x:Class="WpfApplication1.AutoCompleteProperty"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d"
xmlns:toolkitInput="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Input.Toolkit"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,0,2,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}" VerticalAlignment="Center" MaxWidth="100" Margin="1" Grid.Column="0" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Label}" VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Column="1" Margin="1" TextWrapping="Wrap" Width="100" />
</Grid>
<toolkitInput:AutoCompleteBox FilterMode="ContainsOrdinal" IsTextCompletionEnabled="True"
ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsSource}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem}"
MinimumPrefixLength="2"
MinimumPopulateDelay="300"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="1" Margin="1,1,2,1" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
and no changes in code behind file
