Selection bug for listbox where the list items are value types / structs and contain duplicates?

Question

I turned an Horizontal ItemsControl to a Listbox so that I am able to select individual items but found that the selection was broken. Took some time to distill out the prob

Answer 1

Thanks to Dean Chalk for his idea.

I extend it so that it is easier to user for other structs

The idea is to use a converter to cast the original struct collection to a custom collection, which in turn override the equal to compare with Guid ID. You still has the original order

public class StructListItem
{
    private Guid _id = Guid.NewGuid();
    public Guid ID
    {
        get
        {
            return _id;
        }
        set
        {
            _id = value;
        }
    }

    private object _core = default(object);
    public object Core
    {
        get
        {
            return _core;
        }
        set
        {
            _core = value;
        }
    }

    public StructListItem(object core)
    {
        Core = core;
    }

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        return ID.Equals(obj);
    }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        return ID.GetHashCode();
    }
}

public class StructToCollConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        if (value is IEnumerable)
        {
            List _ret = new List();
            if (value != null)
            {
                IEnumerator i = ((IEnumerable)value).GetEnumerator();
                while (i.MoveNext())
                {
                    _ret.Add(new StructListItem(i.Current));
                }
            }
            return _ret.ToArray();
        }

        return null;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}
