Create item template for Combobox in code behind.

Question

Hi all,

I have working with this code.

<ComboBox x:Name="cboTest" ItemSource="{Binding MyList, Mode=TwoWay}" SelectedValue={Binding Path=Name, Mode="TwoWay"}>
    <ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
   <CheckBox Name="chkSelect'/>
    </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>
    </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ComboBox>

to select multiple check box values inside the drop down.

Now i need to do all these things from the code behind.

Can any suggest how to define item template for combobox from the code behind in silverlight xaml.vb page.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can create a DataTemplate in code behind using XamlReader...  Once you have that, I assume you could assign it to your listbox.

string template = "<DataTemplate xmlns=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007\"><TextBlock Text=\"{Binding xx}x\" Foreground=\"Blue\" /></DataTemplate>";

DataTemplate dt = XamlReader.Load(template) as DataTemplate;

Hi Shambhu,

Please try this:

.xaml.cs

            DataTemplate template1 = (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Load(@"<DataTemplate xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"">
                <StackPanel Orientation=""Horizontal"">
                        <CheckBox Name=""chkSelect""/>
                        <TextBlock Text=""{Binding Name}""/>
                    </StackPanel>
                  </DataTemplate>");
            cboTest.ItemTemplate = template1;

.xaml:

    <ComboBox x:Name="cboTest" Height="50" Width="150">
    </ComboBox>

Best Regards,
