Display custom header from UserControl
posted

I'm using the composite guidance for Silverlight. I'm trying to use the XamWebOutlookBar as a region and stick views in it through injection.

I can inject the views just fine but my remaining issue is to display a custom header in the group headers. I can do that just fine using POCO but with views it doesn't seem to work.

The group style I use is:

        <Style x:Key="GroupStyle" TargetType="igOB:OutlookBarGroup">
            <Setter Property="HeaderTemplate">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=HeaderInfo}" />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>

and the view has a HeaderInfo property in its DataContext but it doesn't show anything. Am I missing something? Using TabControl and TabItem, the above code was working.

    Hello ,

    You should add also DataContext . Below is the code snippet.

    Book is a simple class which has the property Author.

      <UserControl

       xmlns:igOB="clr-namespace:Infragistics.Silverlight.Controls;assembly=Infragistics.Silverlight.XamWebOutlookBar.v9.1"   x:Class="CustomHeader.MainPage"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:CustomHeader">
        <UserControl.Resources>
            <local:Book
                x:Key="MyView"
                Author="Custom HeaderInfo"/>

            <Style x:Key="GroupStyle"
                   TargetType="igOB:OutlookBarGroup">
                <Setter Property="HeaderTemplate">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock
                                Text="{Binding Author}"
                                DataContext="{StaticResource MyView}" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>

        </UserControl.Resources>

        <Grid  x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" >

            <igOB:XamWebOutlookBar
                x:Name="XamWebOutlookBar"
                Width="250"
                MinimizedWidth="38" >

                <igOB:OutlookBarGroup  
                    Style="{StaticResource GroupStyle}"
                    Key="dailyActivitiesGroup" >
                    <StackPanel>
                        <Button Content="Tasks" />
                        <Button Content="Notes"/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </igOB:OutlookBarGroup>

            </igOB:XamWebOutlookBar>

        </Grid>
    </UserControl>
