How to find silverlight TreeViewItem by TextBlock? - xaml

I'm trying to select TreeViewItem on right mouse click. There is my XAML:
<TreeView x:Name="treeView" ItemsSource ="{Binding DisplayedDocuments}"
SelectedItemChanged="TreeView_SelectedItemChanged" IsEnabled="True"
MouseRightButtonDown="treeView_MouseRightButtonDown">
<sdk:TreeView.ItemTemplate>
<sdk:HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DisplayedSubItems}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="{Binding Converter={StaticResource docImageConverter}}"/>
<TextBlock Width="5"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Caption}"
MouseRightButtonDown="TextBlock_MouseRightButtonDown"/>
</StackPanel>
</sdk:HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</sdk:TreeView.ItemTemplate>
</TreeView>
When I click on treeViewItem sometimes TextBlock.MouseRightButtonDown raises instead of treeView.MouseRightButtonDown. So, I want to get treeViewItem by TextBlock in TextBlock_MouseRightButtonDown. I've tried to get it this way:
TextBlock docCaption = e.OriginalSource as TextBlock;
StackPanel stackPanel = docCaption.Parent as StackPanel;
But stackPanel.Parent is null.
I've tried to find the control by name:
TreeViewItem treeViewItem = (TreeViewItem)treeView.FindName(docCaption.Text);
but it returns null.

Use the VisualTreeHelper to get the parent: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kmahone/archive/2009/03/29/visualtreehelper.aspx

Is there a way to change the parent content for a popup in WinUI3?

In WinUI3 it seems that you are unable to modify the duration of a tooltip (similar to how WPF allowed a duration change with the ToolTipService.ShowDuration).
As such, I'm attempting to replicate the behavior using a Popup control such that the Popup will remain visible as long as the mouse is hovered over an element (utilizing the element's OnPointerEntered / OnPointerExited events to modify the IsOpen property of the Popup).
This displays the Popup correctly, however in my case the Popup exists inside a Grid which is inside the ListView.ItemTemplate for a ListView. ala:
<ListView>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<TextBlock/>
<Popup/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView>
Thus the popup only overlays the <Grid>, but still gets clipped within the region of the DataTemplate.
I'd like to have the popup overlay the <ListView> itself instead - is there a way to specify which content the popup will overlay such that it will overlay the <ListView>?
Or even better - to have it overlay all elements of the Window (replicating the placement of a tooltip?)
Is there a way to change the parent content for a popup in WinUI3?
Sure, you could place Popup at same level as ListView in current page. And listen ListView item PointerEntered and PointerExited event then pass current item datacontext to popup control.
Xaml
<ListView
Margin="0,10,0,45"
ItemsSource="{x:Bind Items}"
Visibility="Visible">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel
Orientation="Vertical"
PointerEntered="StackPanel_PointerEntered"
PointerExited="StackPanel_PointerExited">
<TextBlock x:Name="Id" Text="{Binding ID}" />
<TextBox
x:Name="FirstName"
GettingFocus="FirstName_GettingFocus"
Text="{Binding FirstName}" />
<TextBox x:Name="LastName" Text="{Binding LastName}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
<Popup
x:Name="PopupTip"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Popup.ChildTransitions>
<TransitionCollection>
<PaneThemeTransition Edge="Bottom" />
</TransitionCollection>
</Popup.ChildTransitions>
<StackPanel
Width="150"
Height="80"
Background="LightGray"
CornerRadius="4">
<TextBlock
x:Name="InfoLabel"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="{Binding ID}" />
</StackPanel>
</Popup>
Code behind
private void StackPanel_PointerEntered(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
var ItemDataContext = (sender as FrameworkElement).DataContext;
PopupTip.DataContext = ItemDataContext;
PopupTip.IsOpen = true;
}
private void StackPanel_PointerExited(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
PopupTip.DataContext = null;
PopupTip.IsOpen = false;
}

UWP XAML Binding to another object is not working

I'm trying to bind TextBlock Width to another object's Width.
It is not working, TextBlock Width stays as the Text length, and not as "BitsListView" Width.
An interesting thing is, when I edit the "Width" of TextBlock while debugging, the binding is working OK.
<StackPanel >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind name}" Width="{Binding ElementName=BitsListView, Path=ActualWidth }"/>
</StackPanel>
<ListBox x:Name="BitsListView" ItemsSource="{x:Bind BitsList, Mode=TwoWay}">
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
</ListBox>
</StackPanel>
Any ideas?
UWP XAML Binding to another object is not working
The problem is that when set TextBlock root panel Orientation property as Horizontal, the width of content will be fixed. So, if you want to make Binding work, please remove Orientation property like the following.
<StackPanel>
<Border BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<TextBlock Name="TestBlock" Text="Test input some" Width="{Binding ElementName=BitsListView, Path=ActualWidth}"/>
</Border>
</StackPanel>

Toggle Button inside a canvas

I have a canvas object in my xaml that has a togglebutton and two textblocks, like this.
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate >
<Canvas HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="485"
Margin="-15,0,-15,80" Visibility="Visible"
MouseLeftButtonUp="MandantenStackPanel_MouseLeftButtonDown">
<ToggleButton Name="FavToggle" Checked="FavChecked" Unchecked="FavUnchecked"
Style="{StaticResource CustomToggleButtonStyle}"
Foreground ="White" BorderBrush="Red" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0">
<ImageBrush ImageSource="/Icons/favs.png" Stretch="UniformToFill" >
</ImageBrush>
</ToggleButton>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding MandantenNummer}" FontSize="24"
TextWrapping="Wrap" Canvas.Left="90" Canvas.Top="20"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding MandantenBezeichnung}" FontSize="24"
TextWrapping="Wrap" Canvas.Left="90" Canvas.Top="50"/>
</Canvas>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
In my .cs i am binding a collection item to that listbox that also has a boolean called isFavorite that i'd like to toggle with my togglebutton. How can i access the data context from the canvas from inside my toggle event handlers? I tried it like i did it like i do it when you click on the textbox:
private void FavChecked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ClassX x = (sender as Canvas).DataContext as Class x;
x.isFavorite = true;
}
but that of course doesn't work cause my sender is the togglebutton and not the canvas. Can i access the canvas from here?
The sender is ToggleButton and not Canvas because that is the control on which you attached that event handler.
Also, DataContext is set recursively so ToggleButton inherits the same data context the parent has.

Binding from multi object in to one value in XAML

I have a ListView which have a DataTemplate like this:
<DataTemplate x:Key="FilterDataTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Background="White" Height="50" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<ComboBox x:Name="TermsItemComboBox" Width="160"
ItemsSource="{Binding ItemList}" Tag="{Binding}"
DisplayMemberPath="Key" SelectionChanged="AddTermsItem_SelectionChanged"
Background="#FFD1D1D1" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<TextBox x:Name="TermsInputTxt1" Text="{Binding FilterText, Mode=TwoWay}"
BorderBrush="#FF727272" Background="#FFD1D1D1" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="200" FontSize="16" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Visibility="{Binding IsTxtForm, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"
Height="45"/>
<TextBox x:Name="TermsInputTxt2" Text="{Binding FilterText, Mode=TwoWay}"
BorderBrush="#FF727272" Background="#FFD1D1D1" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="200" FontSize="16" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Visibility="{Binding IsTxtForm, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"
Height="45"/>
<Button x:Name="TrashBtn" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
BorderBrush="#FF575757" Foreground="#FF494949" BorderThickness="2" Tapped="TrashBtn_Tapped"
Style="{StaticResource DiscardAppBarButtonStyle}" Height="45" Width="55"
RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
<Button.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform ScaleX="-1" />
</Button.RenderTransform>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
It's have a combobox and two TextBox. At default, the combobox don's show anything, just a blank item, I want when user type some text to the TermsInputTxt1 or TermsInputTxt2, the combobox will select the first item.
I try to bind the selectedindex of combobox with the lenght of those two textbox with a converter but look like XAML doesn't support multi binding like that.
Any suggest? Thank you!
So, this is a bit of a difficult situation. You have a couple of ways of going about it:
Bind the TermsInputTxt1 and TermsInputTxt2 to the ViewModel, with the Setter on the ViewModel controlling an ObservableCollection, adding and removing items as they get set in the property.
Create a Model for each entry with a Value field (string) and bind the Terms... to accessors in the ViewModel. Then, the ComboBox items will automatically change.
I suggest doing the first one. You'll have to have a SelectedItem/SelectedIndex property in the ViewModel which the ComboBox will bind to. You may also want to change the method by which the binding on the TextBoxs are updated, either so that they are updated immediately (lots of processing) or after it loses focus (less processing, but won't update the UI immediately).

How to customize the TextBlock inside the LonglistSelector

<toolkit:LongListSelector>
<toolkit:LongListSelector.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontSize="22" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
<TextBlock Name="Info" FontSize="18" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:LongListSelector.ItemTemplate>
</toolkit:LongListSelector>
I have the above LongListSelector which selects the "Name"(Binded in the first Textblock )values from a list. I also wanted to additional text to it,for which i created one more Textblock below that. I couldn't add the text to the second TextBlock like(Info.Text="HI") because it is inside the LonglistSelector
How to give the values to the second Textblock??
Thanks
Do you mean Info is a property on the DataContext of the page and not on the current item where Name is?
If so, you can use a DataContextProxy to get to the data outside of the list item. If not, you'll have to be more clear on what you mean.
