Display database to listbox

I have a listbox containing a choice of text answers taken from the database and containing html languages, such as: <p>, etc. I want to display it so that the html language is not displayed. I tried to display it in the webview, but <p>, etc. is still visible.
XAML:
<ListBox Name="ListOption" Grid.Row="1" Margin="10,20,10,0" Height="auto" xmlns:m="using:KipinSchool_Win10.TryoutData.Models" SelectionChanged="ListAlternatives_SelectionChanged" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="m:DBOption">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<WebView Margin="10,10,10,10" local:MyProperties.HtmlString="{Binding Option}" MinHeight="40" MaxHeight="300" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Tag="{Binding OID}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Option}" Tag="{Binding OID}" FontSize="19"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Code:
string strA = #"SELECT DISTINCT* FROM DBOption WHERE QID='" + question[0] + "'";
var alternative = objConn.Prepare(strA);
ObservableCollection<DBOption> Items = new ObservableCollection<DBOption>();
int i = 0;
while (alternative.Step() == SQLiteResult.ROW)
{
Items.Add(new DBOption(alternative[0].ToString(), alternative[1].ToString(), alternative[2].ToString(), alternative[3].ToString()));
}
Binding myBinding = new Binding();
myBinding.Source = Items;
ListOption.SetBinding(ItemsControl.ItemsSourceProperty, myBinding);
How to handle it?

I tried to display it in the webview, but etc. is still visible. XAML:
I could reproduce your issue, the problem is that you have not set width and height property for WebView. And html string does not contain the content height. So the WebView will not display correctly. Please modify the code like the following.
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<WebView Margin="10,10,10,10"
local:MyProperties.HtmlString="{Binding Option}"
Height="400" Width="200"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Tag="{Binding OID}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>

Issue binding grouped data to cvs for semantic zoom

I'm having some trouble getting my semantic zoom bind correctly to my CollectionViewSource. I'm pretty new to MVVM, so I'm not sure i have stuff setup correctly.
View Model
private async void GetData()
{
// Simulate pulling data from api
string response;
StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(new Uri(#"ms-appx:///DesignData/GetLive.json"));
using (StreamReader sRead = new StreamReader(await file.OpenStreamForReadAsync()))
response = await sRead.ReadToEndAsync();
// Deserialize data to class
LiveStreamModel liveGames = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<LiveStreamModel>(response);
Schedules = liveGames.schedule;
// Group data by event
var groupData = liveGames.schedule.GroupBy(a => a.#event);
// Set cvs source to grouped data
ScheduleSource = new CollectionViewSource() { IsSourceGrouped = true, Source = groupData };
}
private CollectionViewSource scheduleSource;
public CollectionViewSource ScheduleSource
{
get
{
return scheduleSource;
}
set
{
scheduleSource = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("ScheduleSource");
}
}

Page.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ZoomedInTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" MinWidth="200" Margin="12,6,0,6">
<!--<Image Source="{Binding ImagePath}" Height="80" Width="80"/>-->
<StackPanel Margin="20,0,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding homeTeam}" Style="{StaticResource BaseTextBlockStyle}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding awayTeam}" TextWrapping="Wrap" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="300"
Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ZoomedInGroupHeaderTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding event}" Foreground="{ThemeResource ApplicationForegroundThemeBrush}"
Style="{StaticResource SubtitleTextBlockStyle}"/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ZoomedOutTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding event}" Style="{StaticResource SubtitleTextBlockStyle}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</Page.Resources>
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<SemanticZoom x:Name="GetLiveZoom" >
<SemanticZoom.ZoomedInView>
<GridView x:Name="GetLiveGrid" ItemsSource="{Binding ScheduleSource.View}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ZoomedInTemplate}" SelectionMode="Single"
ScrollViewer.IsHorizontalScrollChainingEnabled="False">
<GridView.GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource ZoomedInGroupHeaderTemplate}" />
</GridView.GroupStyle>
</GridView>
</SemanticZoom.ZoomedInView>
<SemanticZoom.ZoomedOutView>
<GridView x:Name="GetLiveList" ItemsSource="{Binding ScheduleSource.View.CollectionGroups}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ZoomedOutTemplate}" SelectionMode="None"
ScrollViewer.IsVerticalScrollChainingEnabled="False"/>
</SemanticZoom.ZoomedOutView>
</SemanticZoom>
</Grid>
When debugging, my data is getting grouped properly by #event, but setting the source of the cvs to the grouped data and binding that to the semantic zoom control results in nothing showing up.

You need to fix the following data binding:
1) For ZoomedInGroupHeaderTemplate, because the Source is grouped data, so if you want to show the group name in ZoomedInView, set data binding for Key property:
<DataTemplate x:Key="ZoomedInGroupHeaderTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Key}" Foreground="{ThemeResource ApplicationForegroundThemeBrush}"
Style="{StaticResource SubtitleTextBlockStyle}"/>
</DataTemplate>
2) For ZoomedOutTemplate, the Source is ICollectionView.CollectionGroups, ref MSDN -> ICollectionViewGroup interface
We need to use ICollectionViewGroup.Group property to get group name in ZoomedOutView:
<DataTemplate x:Key="ZoomedOutTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Group.Key}" Style="{StaticResource SubtitleTextBlockStyle}"/>
</DataTemplate>

Create ItemTemplate for ListBox in code-beind in WPF

I'm trying to create an ItemTemplate for a ListBox programmatically but it doesn't work. I know in XAML I can have something like:
<ListBox x:Name="listbox" BorderThickness="0" Margin="6" Height="400">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Margin="0" Background="Red" Foreground="White" FontSize="18" Text="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
But when I'm trying to have the above result programmatically I face a problem which is binding the TextBox.TextProperty:
var textblock = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(TextBlock));
// Setting some properties
textblock.SetValue(TextBlock.TextProperty, ??);
var template = new ControlTemplate(typeof(ListBoxItem));
template.VisualTree = textblock;
Please help me on this issue. I couldn't find anything on the web about it.
Thanks in advance.

Try use dot . in Binding, this is the equivalent of {Binding}.
Example:
XAML
<Window x:Class="MyNamespace.MainWindow"
...
Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<ListBox Name="MyListBox" ... />
</Window>
Code-behind
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var textBlockFactory = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(TextBlock));
textBlockFactory.SetValue(TextBlock.TextProperty, new Binding(".")); // Here
textBlockFactory.SetValue(TextBlock.BackgroundProperty, Brushes.Red);
textBlockFactory.SetValue(TextBlock.ForegroundProperty, Brushes.Wheat);
textBlockFactory.SetValue(TextBlock.FontSizeProperty, 18.0);
var template = new DataTemplate();
template.VisualTree = textBlockFactory;
MyListBox.ItemTemplate = template;
}
}

Try this, by binding the "listbox" with ItemsSource and specify the datatemplate below like if you want to bind name then just write {Binding Name}
<ListBox x:Name="listbox" BorderThickness="0" Margin="6" Height="400" ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Margin="0" Background="Red" Foreground="White" FontSize="18" Text="{Binding Name}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

Data binding to Listbox from JSON Response

This is the first time i am doing xaml so please understand that I might be slow in learning
Below is my CS codes. I am trying to bind the "attributes" to listbox.
public DirectionPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
List<Feature> features = App.dResult.directions[0].features;
foreach (Feature f in features)
{
Attributes a = f.attributes;
MessageBox.Show(a.text);
}
}
public ObservableCollection<Feature> test = new ObservableCollection<Feature>();
Below is the XAML codes.
<ListBox x:Name="directionListBox" ItemsSource="{Binding}" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding text}" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextTitle2Style}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I didn't see the collection of attributes.
Possibly what you can do is collect the attributes in a list may be your test and put it in the biding.
Or put the Features collection as itemsource of your list box.
i.e.
public DirectionPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
List<Attributes> LAtributes=new List<Attributes>();
List<Feature> features = App.dResult.directions[0].features;
foreach (Feature f in features)
{
Attributes a=new Attributes();
a = f.attributes;
LAttributes.add(a);
MessageBox.Show(a.text);
}
directionListBox.ItemsSource=Lattribute;
}
and
<ListBox x:Name="directionListBox" ItemsSource="{Binding}" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=text}" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextTitle2Style}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Hopefully this will help you!

wpf check list box

I m new to wpf.In order to get check list box functionality ,I have added below xaml to my code,but there is no output in my screen.only blank,what it could be?
<TabItem Header="Samples" >
<ListBox Margin="10" Width="373" Height="236">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="MyText"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="False"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</TabItem>

just have a look at this basic sample
http://merill.net/2009/10/wpf-checked-listbox/

List box is a bit wired for such task..Have a look at ItemsControl.
Here is the code i use:
<ItemsControl
ItemsSource="{Binding ***}" IsTabStop="False">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox
Content="{Binding Name}"
IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>

Replace your code with this
<TabItem Header="Roles" >
<ListBox Margin="10" Width="373" Height="236">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="MyText"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="False"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<ListBoxItem>Hi</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
</TabItem>
and tell us if it still shows blank

Better still, just use the new CheckListBox control in the Extended WPF Toolkit
http://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=CheckListBox&referringTitle=Home

This might help
1.Inorder to work datatemplate you must specify itemsource, here i have bounded a Stateslist a collection of items into it.
2.Also set the Datacontext to ViewModel or the CodeBehind as datacontext.
3.Datacontext will distribute the StateList properties collection to the listbox itemsource
using codebehind -
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = this;
LoadData();
}
using viewmodel
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new Window1ViewModel();
LoadData();
}
//MyItemsource Property for listbox
private ObservableCollection<States> _stateslist;
public ObservableCollection<States> StatesList
{
get { return _stateslist; }
set
{
_stateslist = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(() => StatesList);
}
}
// Sample Data Loading
public void LoadData()
{
StatesList = new ObservableCollection<States>();
StatesList.Add(new States
{
StateName = "Kerala"
});
StatesList.Add(new States
{
StateName = "Karnataka"
});
StatesList.Add(new States
{
StateName = "Goa"
});
}
Window1.Xaml
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding StatesList}" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected"} Content="{Binding StateName}" />
<TextBox Text="{Binding TextBoxValue}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

Check this out it isworking..you are using TabItem but you didnt define it in TabControl
<TabControl>
<TabItem Header="Tab1">
<ListBox Margin="10" Width="373" Height="236">
<ListBox.Items>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="MyText"/>
<CheckBox IsChecked="False"/>
</StackPanel>
</ListBox.Items>
</ListBox>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
If you are new in WPF use XamlPadX it will give you great help to practice out on it..
