How to disable listbox item underlined when ALT key is pressed in wpf

I have a Listbox with some string and int items. When ALT key is pressed the list items are unlined. I have set in ContentPresenter style like this, RecognizesAccessKey="False". But it is not working. Please anyone suggest me to fix this. The Listbox values are like this, T1_1.

How do I bind ListItem to CommandParameter

I have a ListBox :
<ListBox Margin="10" Padding="10" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!-- Data template -->
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!--Image-->
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
<!--Info-->
<ColumnDefinition Width="500" />
<!--Options-->
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" /
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Height="50" Width="50" />
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="Name: " />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="ID: " />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ID}" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
<Button Grid.Column="2" Content="{Binding Status}" Command="{Binding CompleteCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type local:MainPageViewModel}}}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
I need my CommandParameter be the ListItem of this ListBox.

Set the AncestorType to ListBox and include DataContext in the path:
<Button ... Command="{Binding DataContext.CompleteCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ListBox}}}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" HorizontalAlignment="Right"></Button>
Then the Command binding should work provided that the CompleteCommand property belongs to the same class as the Items property

Listbox item mouse double click only works on text not whole line

My ListBox uses this DataTemplate to act on LeftDoubleClick:

The double click only works on the actual text in the items line.
What can I do, to let the double click also work on the empty spaces to the right of my item text?

Set ListBoxItems' HorizontalContentAlignment = Stretch.
For example:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
</Style>
In case, above code doesn't work, also try setting the Background of the Grid to Transparent (if you are using Grid):
<Grid Background="Transparent">
EDIT:
Bind TextBlock Width to ListBoxItem Width as shown below should fix the issue:
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Text="{Binding JobData.JobName}"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ListBoxItem}}, Path=ActualWidth}">

Bind all Tab item view model at start in WPF

I have an application with 2 tabs which are Person and User Management in WPF with MVVM. Now the problem is when I click on Person Mag tab, the PersonViewModel will bind to Person Mag View, and User Mag same as mentioned situation also.
How to make Person and User Mag tab bind its view model at start of the application (both bind viewmodel for its own view at the same time) instead of bind the view model when I clicked on that tab.

Try this
Add Loaded event to TabControl
<TabControl TabStripPlacement="Left" DockPanel.Dock="Left" Margin="5" Loaded="Tab_OnLoaded" >
Remove the ContentTemplate from xaml and assign content in code like
void Tab_OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var tabControl = sender as TabControl;
if (tabControl != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < tabControl.Items.Count; i++)
{
if (i == 1)
(tabControl.Items[i] as TabItem).Content = new UserControl2();//Here assign the Usercontrol that you want to set as Content
}
tabControl.Loaded -= Tab_OnLoaded; // Do this on first time only
}
}
I dont think its a good approach . I hope this will help.

How to access dynamic control WPF in DataTemplate

I created a tabcontrol with TabItem dynamic, and each TabItem with a button to close it, but just want that button visible when the TabItem is selected.
But I can not access the control inside the DataTemplate
<TabControl Name="dynamicTab" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Margin="0,85,0,0">
<TabControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="TabHeader" DataType="TabItem">
<DockPanel>
<Button
Focusable="False"
BorderThickness="0"
Background="Transparent"
BorderBrush="Transparent"
Padding="-4"
Height="10"
Width="10"
Name="btnDelete" Visibility="Hidden" DockPanel.Dock="Right" Margin="5,0,0,0" Click="btnDelete_Click"
CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type TabItem}}, Path=Name}">
<Image Name="imgButtonClose" Source="/Recursos;component/Imagens/close16x16.png" Height="10" Width="10"/>
</Button>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type TabItem}}, Path=Header}" />
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.Resources>
</TabControl>

Just use the binding on the IsSelected property of ancestoral TabItem:
<BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="boolToVisibilityConverter"/>
...
<Button ...
Name="btnDelete"
Visibility="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type TabItem}}, Path=IsSelected, Converter={StaticResource boolToVisibilityConverter}">
...
</Button>
If you have no problems with this binding:
CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type TabItem}}, Path=Name}"
then the proposed code should work.
