I'm trying to use a ListBox to choose an entry and then display a picture belonging to this selected entry. But just at the beginning I got my first problem: filling the ListBox with binding is working, but if I click on one line in my running program, it doesn't select the line. I can just see the highlighted hover effect, but not select a line. Any ideas what my mistake could be?
This is my XAML:
<ListBox x:Name="entrySelection" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=entryItems}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="335" Margin="428,349,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="540" FontSize="24"/>
And in MainWindow.xaml.cs I'm filling the ListBox with entries:
private void fillEntrySelectionListBox()
{
//Fill listBox with entries for active user
DataContext = this;
entryItems = new ObservableCollection<ComboBoxItem>();
foreach (HistoryEntry h in activeUser.History)
{
var cbItem = new ComboBoxItem();
cbItem.Content = h.toString();
entryItems.Add(cbItem);
}
this.entrySelection.ItemsSource = entryItems;
labelEntrySelection.Text = "Einträge für: " + activeUser.Id;
//show image matching the selected entry
if (activeUser.History != null)
{
int index = entrySelection.SelectedIndex;
if (index != -1 && index < activeUser.History.Count)
{
this.entryImage.Source = activeUser.History[index].Image;
}
}
}
So I can see my ListBox correctly filled, but not select anything - so I can't go on with loading the picture matching the selected entry.
I'm still quite new to programming, so any help would be great :)
EDIT: If someone takes a look at this thread later: here's the - quite obvious -solution
XAML now looks like this
<ListBox x:Name="entrySelection" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=entryItems}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="335" Margin="428,349,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="540" FontFamily="Siemens sans" FontSize="24">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Code behind to fill it:
//Fill listbox with entries for selected user
DataContext = this;
entryItems = new ObservableCollection<DataItem>();
foreach (HistoryEntry h in selectedUser.History)
{
var lbItem = new DataItem(h.toString());
entryItems.Add(lbItem);
}
this.entrySelection.ItemsSource = entryItems;
labelEntrySelection.Text = "Einträge für: " + selectedUser.Id;
And new Class DataItem:
class DataItem
{
private String text;
public DataItem(String s)
{
text = s;
}
public String Text
{
get
{
return text;
}
}
}

You are filling it with ComboBoxItem, which is not relevant to the ListBox, and also wrong by definition.
You need to have the ObservableCollection filled with data items.
Meaning, make a class that contains the data you want to store, and the ListBox will generate a ListBoxItem automatically per data item.
