I have a list box that displays the results of a TFS request. I want to change the ListBoxItem style in the code behind to have columns that are included in the query results.
The style for ListBoxItem is defined in my Windows.Resoruces section. I tried this:
public T GetQueryResultsElement<T>(string name) where T : DependencyObject
{
ListBoxItem myListBoxItem =
(ListBoxItem)(lstQueryResults.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(0));
ContentPresenter myContentPresenter =
myListBoxItem.Template.LoadContent().FindVisualChild<ContentPresenter>();
DataTemplate myDataTemplate = myContentPresenter.ContentTemplate; <------+
T myControl = (T)myDataTemplate.FindName(name, myContentPresenter); |
|
return (T)myControl; |
} |
|
ContentTemplate is null ----------------------------------------------+
But the ContentTemplate is null. I got this code from here and then modified it by calling LoadContent (the source code gave null for ContentPresenter).
Anyway. If you know a way to change the existing style in the code, for which I would like to see it.
Features if you want them:
I am going to WrapPanel in my ListBoxItem style. This is what I want to add additional TextBlock elements to.
Here is part of my style:
<Style x:Key="CheckBoxListStyle" TargetType="ListBox">
<Style.Resources>
<Style x:Key="ListBoxItemStyle" TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Tag" Value="{Binding Id}"/>
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<Binding Path="Type" Converter="{StaticResource WorkItemTypeToColorConverter}" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Border BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#D4D4FF">
<Grid Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type WrapPanel}}, Path=ActualWidth}" ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True" Margin="2">

<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="30" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<Binding Path="Type" Converter="{StaticResource WorkItemTypeToColorConverter}" />
</Grid.Background>
<CheckBox VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="0" IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},

<WrapPanel Grid.Column="1" Margin="5,0,5,0" Name="QueryColumns">
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Id}" Name="txtID" />
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="5,0,5,0" Text="{Binding Title}" Name="txtTitle" />
</WrapPanel>
