Edit the FancyPopup.xaml
Add:
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding TasksCollection, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=OneWay}">
<ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VirtualizingStackPanel/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TaskName}"/>
</DataTemplate>
<ListView.ItemTemplate/>
</ListView>
In the code behind you can set your view model like this:
public FancyPopup()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = new PopupViewModel();
}
And then in your ViewModel:
public ObservableCollection<TaskDataModel> tasksCollection;
public ObservableCollection<TaskDataModel> TasksCollection
{
get
{
if (tasksCollection == null)
{
tasksCollection = new ObservableCollection<TaskDataModel>();
}
return tasksCollection;
}
set
{
tasksCollection = value;
this.OnPropertyChanged("tasksCollection");
}
}
Where TaskDataModel is class describing your data model.
public class TaskDataModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public TaskDataModel()
{
}
private string taskName;
public string TaskName
{
get { return taskName; }
set
{
if (taskName != value)
{
taskName = value;
OnPropertyChanged("TaskName");
}
}
}
}
