itemscontrol

When the user clicks a button in the application, a window opens up. I want the TextBox belonging to the first item in the ItemsControl to be focused, so that the user can start typing as soon as the Window is opened, without needing to manually select the TextBox. How can this be done? For simplicity, we can say that the Window looks approximately like this: <Window> <Grid> <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}"> <DataTemplate> <Grid> <StackPanel> <StackPanel> <customControls:ValidationControl> <TextBox Text="" /> </customControls:ValidationControl> </StackPanel> </StackPanel> </Grid>

I have seen solutions to a very similar issue, yet it doesn't translate to mine. (Namely, this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/wpfsdk/archive/2007/04/16/how-do-i-programmatically-interact-with-template-generated-elements-part-ii.aspx ) My ItemsControl is bound to an observable collection, which can have items dynamically added to it. When I add an item to the observable collection, the templated item renders properly in my itemscontrol, but I can't figure out how to access it. My my observable colleciton changed code, I am trying to access information about. I am using a custom

I want to design a custom items control panel for a ListBox . There are 3 requirements: It should have the properties int rows and int columns which would define the matrix of cells that the panel is made of. This is what the panel should look like (colors are irrelevant, I just wanted to show that the panel is consisted of 12 empty cells in a 3x4 matrix): If the number of items in the items control is less than the number of defined cells all the cells should be drawn. E.g. if there are only 4 items to be placed in a 3x4 matrix shown in the picture, all of the cells should be drawn and only 4

So I have a StackPanel that I am using as a ContentControl. I have a place where I want buttons to be generated based on data that I am binding to, and that is all working good, but I want the buttons to be laid out horizontally, not vertically as is what is currently happening. Here's a screenshot: And here is the code from my ContentTemplate description: <StackPanel Name="wpReleaseButtons" Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="2"> <ItemsControl IsTabStop="False" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=BranchCommands}"> <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Button Tag="{Binding}" Padding="3">

I'm just starting learning WPF and I'm trying to use a GridViewRowPresenter inside of an ItemsControl to essentially duplicate the functionality of a simple table in HTML. The ListView is not appropriate since it is interactive (which I don't want). I am binding to a generic List of objects of an unknown quantity. I have a List of a custom object that has two string properties: FirstName and LastName. The following code works: <ItemsControl Name="myItemsControl"> <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}"/> </DataTemplate> </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>

I want to write XAML template of a combobox to increase the spaces/padding between items. I searched for this but almost end up with the ItemsPresenter: <ItemsPresenter x:Name="ItemsPresenter" KeyboardNavigation.DirectionalNavigation="Contained" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/> How can I format the item (border, padding, font...) using this template? Please help. You can use ItemContainerStyle to apply a style to the ComboBoxItems that sets properties such as padding: <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding}"> <ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle> <Style TargetType="ComboBoxItem">

I want to display a important list of items using an ItemsControl. The reason why I'm using an ItemsControl is that the DataTemplate is much more complex in the application I'm working on: The sample code provided only reflects the sizing problem I have. I would like : the ItemsControl to be virtualized because there is many items to display its size to expand to its parent container automatically (the Grid) <Grid> <ItemsControl x:Name="My" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Names}"> <ItemsControl.Template> <ControlTemplate> <StackPanel> <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="this is a title" FontSize="15" />

I am trying to Group my collection which is based on my following model: public class Person { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public Role PersonRole { get; set; } } public class Role { public int Id { get; set; } public string RoleName { get; set; } } My PersonCollection, public ObservableCollection<Person> PersonList; The collection is populated with three Person object, two with identical roles. I want to group all my persons as per their RoleName. I have the following XAML: <Grid.Resources> <CollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs" Source="{Binding
