listbox

My WPF window has its foreground brush set to a brush from a resource dictionary, and I want all text in the window to have this color, so I don't touch the foreground brush in anything else. Textboxes get the color Textblocks get the color Buttons get the color Listboxes do not get the color, and so neither do their contents. Is there any way to get a Listbox to behave like the other controls in this respect? Assuming not, and that this is by design, what is the rationale? Edit: It seems my question is not clear enough.

If a WPF ListBox gets a MouseMove event while the mouse button is held down, it will change the listbox's selection. That is, if you click the mouse on item #1, and then drag over item #2, it will deselect item #1 and select item #2 instead. How can I prevent this? That's the short version. The slightly longer version is this: When the user double-clicks an item in my ListBox, I make other changes to my layout, which includes showing other controls above the ListBox. This moves the ListBox downwards, which means the mouse is now positioned over a different ListBoxItem than it was when the user

I am just starting out using IronPython with WPF and I don't quiet understand how binding is supposed to be done. Normally in WPF I would just do something like this: <ListBox Name="MyListBox"> <ListBox.Resources> <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem"> <Setter Property="ContentTemplate"> <Setter.Value> <DataTemplate> <DockPanel> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=From}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Subject}" /> </DockPanel> </DataTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style> </ListBox.Resources> </ListBox> Then in my code behind: MyListBox.ItemsSource = new ObservableCollection<Email>() But in

i want to change the color of item that contains a specific string Private Sub ListBox2_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles ListBox2.DrawItem e.DrawBackground() If DrawItemState.Selected.ToString.Contains("specific string") Then e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.LightGreen, e.Bounds) End If e.DrawFocusRectangle() that is my code but not working Alright, first you need to set the property DrawMode of the list box to "OwnerDrawFixed" instead of Normal.

I have a listbox with the ItemsPanelTemplate set to UniformGrid with rows= 6 and cols= 7. I want the listbox items to fill their space. I am using a datatemplete defined in a dictionary. The outer control of my template is a Border with HorizontalAlignment=Stretch and VerticalAlignent=Strectch but the templates do not fill the listbox items space? Any ideas?
