I have objects I'm databinding to a ListBox in WPF. Here's what the end result should look like:
------------------------------- | Name | Opt1 | Value1 | | | Opt2 | Value2 | | | Opt3 | Value3 | | | Opt4 | Value4 | -------------------------------
Essentially i've got a DataTemplate for the overall variable, and then the Opt/Value combo has it's own DataTemplate. I'm trying to display the list of values as simply as possible.
<Label Content="{Binding Path=Identifier.Name, Mode=OneWay}" />
<ListView Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Values, Mode=OneWay}" />
The binding for Values is currently only a <Grid> with 2 <Label>'s and ListView has a lot of features I dont watch, such as the border styling, selections, and such, when all I really want is to be able to databind using a List.
I've tried to databind the items to a stackpanel but couldn't get it to work in XAML. I suppose another solution is to do what I'm doing, and rewrite the <Style> for ListView. Any suggestions on the correct way to do this?
It certainly sounds like something you can do with a ListBox, or an ItemsControl if you do not want them to be selectable. We can also make use of the IsSharedSizeScope attached property to keep our columns formatted and even. Also, take a look at the Inheritance Higharchy at the bottom of the ListBox link, it should help you determine which type of list you need for different scenarios.
Try something like this:
<DockPanel>
<Label Content="{Binding Path=Identifier.Name, Mode=OneWay}" />
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Values, Mode=OneWay}"
Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="OptionColumn" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="ValueColumn" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Option}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Value}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</DockPanel>
