I have a simple class which creates a list of objects:
namespace TestWPF2
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public ObservableCollection<TestObj> SomeList { get; set; }
public string WindowTitle { get; set; }
public MainWindow()
{
this.DataContext = this;
WindowTitle = "People";
SomeList = new ObservableCollection<TestObj>();
SomeList.Add(new TestObj("Bob"));
SomeList.Add(new TestObj("Jane"));
SomeList.Add(new TestObj("Mike"));
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}
The TestObj class is as follows:
namespace TestWPF2
{
public class TestObj
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public TestObj(string firstName)
{
this.FirstName = firstName;
}
}
}
I then attempt to display each item in the list with the following:
<Window x:Class="TestWPF2.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestWPF2"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:TestObj}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="Pos: "/>
<TextBlock x:Name="posText"/>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="Name: "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FirstName}"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
<!-- THESE TRIGGERS DONT WORK -->
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="First" TargetName="posText"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="1">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="Second" TargetName="posText"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="3">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="Third" TargetName="posText"/>
</Trigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}"/>
<ItemsControl HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
ItemsSource="{Binding SomeList}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
What I would like to display is something like:
Pos: First
Name: Bob
Pos: Second
Name: Jane
etc.
It's pretty straight-forward to bind to the FirstName property of each item in the list, but I would also like bind to the index in the list. I know I can do this from inside an ItemsControl using ItemsControl.AlternationIndex, but how do I link to the AlternationIndex from within in DataTemplate?
You need to understand that your context is TestObj
and with your trigger, you are basicly checking the value of a property named ItemsControl
which should have a property AlternationIndex
.
You should changed the context of your triggers with a RelativeSource binding to the control that hold your object, named the ContentPresenter
:
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ContentPresenter}}, Path=(ItemsControl.AlternationIndex)" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="First" TargetName="posText"/>
</Trigger>
<!--- here be the other triggers -->
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
Hope this helps..
