datatemplate

When I attempt to specify multiple DataTemplates for use by a ContentControl so that the correct one (based on Type) is used, I end up with Content that is simply the Content's ToString() value. <ContentControl DataContext="{Binding MyTreeRootViewModels}" Content="{Binding /, Path=CurrentlySelectedTreeViewModel}"> <ContentControl.Resources> <DataTemplate DataType="x:Type vm:TypeAViewModel"> <StackPanel> <local:TypeAUserControl /> </StackPanel> </DataTemplate> <DataTemplate DataType="x:Type vm:TypeBViewModel"> <StackPanel> <local:TypeBUserControl /> </StackPanel> </DataTemplate> <

Using WPF, I have a ListBox control with a DataTemplate inside it. The relevant XAML code is shown below: <ListBox Name="_todoList" Grid.Row="1" BorderThickness="2" Drop="todoList_Drop" AllowDrop="True" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" AlternationCount="2"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid Margin="4"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <CheckBox Grid.Column="0" Checked="CheckBox_Check" /> <TextBlock Name="descriptionBlock" Grid.Column="1" Text="

I would think this is possible, but the obvious way isn't working. Currently, I'm doing this: <ContentControl Content="{Binding HurfView.EditedPart}"> <ContentControl.Resources> <Style TargetType="ContentControl" x:Key="emptytemplate"> <Style.Triggers> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=Content}" Value="{x:Null}"> <Setter Property="ContentControl.Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate> <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"> <TextBlock>EMPTY!</TextBlock> </Grid> </ControlTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> <

When I bind Menu Items with an ObservableCollection, only the "inner" area of the MenuItem is clickable: alt text http://tanguay.info/web/external/mvvmMenuItems.png In my View I have this menu: <Menu> <MenuItem Header="Options" ItemsSource="{Binding ManageMenuPageItemViewModels}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MainMenuTemplate}"/> </Menu> Then I bind it with this DataTemplate : <DataTemplate x:Key="MainMenuTemplate"> <MenuItem Header="{Binding Title}" Command="{Binding DataContext.SwitchPageCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Menu}}}" Background="Red"

I am in the process of implimenting the MVVC pattern and am having trouble binding a property in the viewmodel from within a DataTemplate within a datagrid. If I have a textblock outside the DataTemplate in the column it works fine (since I am directly referencing the datacontext of the UserConrol, i.e. the VM) however from within the DataTemplate it wont return the plain text property. It will however return a property from the iterated IEnumerable item. <UserControl xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data" x:Class="Timesheet.Silverlight.Modules

I'm dynamically adding WPF ComboBox-es and I want to be able to select the added ComboBoxes with the 'TAB' key . (Dynamically generate TabIndex or something) As it actually is: What I want: How would you do that? This is the code: <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}" Name="myItemsControl"> <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <ComboBox Grid.Column="0" ItemsSource

I set up a ContentControl.DataTemplateSelector to my desired one. I want that according to a command or whatever, call the ContentControl to reselect the template from the selector by either xaml or code. Thank I'm not aware of any (non-kludgy) way to do this: the DataTemplateSelector is called when WPF needs to select the template, and that's a one-off decision as far as WPF is concerned. (You can kludge it by making WPF think the content has changed, e.g. by setting the content to null and then back again -- I think that would work but haven't tested it -- but this is pretty ugly!) If there

I have a context menu. It's bound to some collection and it has a defined ItemTemplate like this: <ContextMenu ItemsSource={Binding ...} ItemTemplate={StaticResource itemTemplate} /> itemTemplate is a simple DataTemplate with a TextBlock: <DataTemplate x:Key="itemTemplate"> <TextBlock Text={Binding ...} /> </DataTemplate> How do I bind Command property for MenuItem to the underlying object's property? I think you need to wrap your TextBlock in a MenuItem: <DataTemplate x:Key="itemTemplate"> <MenuItem Command={Binding ...}> <TextBlock Text={Binding ...} /> </MenuItem> </DataTemplate> But I don
