Change Label Text to ListBox Selected Item's Text

Question

The Problem

I'm trying to change the Text of a Label on another window to the value of a selected item within a listbox on the first window.

I've tried using:

Window1.FoodLabel.Text= this.ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();

But the button will say "Windows.System..."

The ListBox's Template is edited if that has anything to do with it. I can't figure anything out to such simple problem.

XAML for the ListBox:

<ListBox x:Name="ListBox1" Margin="0,23,0,43" Background="#FF313131" Style="{DynamicResource Seeds}" BorderThickness="0,1,1,1" SelectionChanged="ListBox1_SelectionChanged">
    <ListBoxItem x:Name="Barley" Content="Barley" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource SeedItem}" Selected="Barley_Selected"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Bean" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle1}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="BlueBerry" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle2}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Chili" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle3}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Corn" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle4}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Cucumber" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle5}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Garlic" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle6}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Millet" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle7}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Oat" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle8}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Onion" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle9}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Peanut" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle10}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Potato" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle11}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Pumpkin" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle12}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Quinoa" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle13}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Rice" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle14}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Rye" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource SeedItem}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Strawberry" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle15}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Tomato" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle16}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Wheat" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle17}"/>
    <ListBoxItem Content="Yam" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Style="{DynamicResource ListBoxItemStyle18}"/>
</ListBox>

I've tried this as well, which seemed like it would work:

 Window1 window1 = new Window1();
     window1.FoodLabel.Content = (ListBoxItem)this.ListBox1.SelectedValue.Content.ToString();
     window1.Show();

But Visual Studio gives me this error:

Answer 1

Am I understanding the question correctly -- you just want to be able to get the text for the selected ListBoxItem?

I would think

Window1.FoodLabel.Text= (string) this.ListBox1.SelectedItem.Content;

would do it.

Answer 2

\n

Window1.FoodLabel.Text = (ListBoxItem)this.ListBox1.SelectedValue).Content.ToString();\n

\n

Answer 3

You can bind it :

Text="{Binding ElementName=ListBox1, Path=SelectedItem.Content}"

Or you can set Text on SelectionChanged event:

TbTimeDispPopup.Text = (string)((ListBoxItem)ListBox1.SelectedItem).Content;

Hope this helps!
