I have a ComboBox
and I'd like to be able to change the style of the text inside the ComboBoxItem
based on an attribute of the ComboBoxItem
.
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Countries}">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ContentControl Content="{Binding}" Focusable="False">
<ContentControl.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{StaticResource MyStyle}" />
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ContentControl.Style>
</ContentControl>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
I've been trying to set the TextBlock Style from MyStyle
to a different one if the Country's attribute IsWestern
is true, but I am not managing. I figure I need a Trigger
somewhere, but I can't figure it out and added a variety, but none worked so far.
use DataTrigger to change ContentTemplate:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{StaticResource MyStyle}" />
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsWestern}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{StaticResource WesternStyle}" />
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
alternatively include <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsWestern}" Value="True">
in TextBlock Style (MyStyle) and change required TextBlock properties there:
<Style x:Key="MyStyle" TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="LineStackingStrategy" Value="BlockLineHeight"></Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsWestern}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="20,0,0,0"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
