Add items to list data source after load
posted

I am using the datasource example from the sample viewer.  Here is what I would like to accomplish. 

I am using the carousel to list all of the file types in a specific directory.  My first attempt was to put a regular list box in the template

 

<DataTemplate x:Key="DocDataTemplate"> <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="170" Height ="100">

 

 

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

 

 

 

 

 

<RowDefinition Height ="0.581*"/>

 

 

 <Image Stretch="Fill" Source="{Binding XPath=ImgPath, Mode=Default}"> </Image >

 

<ListBox Grid.Row="2" BorderBrush="Purple" BorderThickness="1" MouseDoubleClick</Grid.RowDefinitions ><RowDefinition Height ="0.419*"/> 

="ListBox_MouseDoubleClick" >

 

<ListBoxItem>Test1</ListBoxItem>

 

<ListBoxItem>Test2</ListBoxItem>

 

<ListBoxItem>Test3</ListBoxItem>

 

</ListBox>

 

<!--<TextBlock

 

 

</Grid>

 

</DataTemplate>

 

Visually it looks great.  check out how I can select an item.  I have even hooked its double click event... but I have no way of getting to each list box to add the directory info for each file type.

 

I guess my ultimate question would be how is the best way to go about this.  can I get to the list box by way of the carousel item with regular C# code?  So far I only see the xml code not the listbox object instance.

Could I bind to a dataset and add items without using the list box... while retaining the double click event so that I can allow my users to indicate which item the would like?  thanks!

 

TextWrapping="Wrap"

Margin="0,0,0,0"

VerticalAlignment="Center"

Width="Auto"

Height="Auto"

Grid.Row="1"

Text="{Binding XPath=Summary, Mode=Default}"

FontSize="10"

HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>-->

    Hello,

    You should get the listbox instance as a Content of the CarouselListBoxItem. I have created simple example and the thing I think you are trying to achieve should look something like this :

               var a = xamCarouselListBox1.Items[0];
               ListBox listbox = (a as CarouselListBoxItem).Content as ListBox;
               listbox.Items.Add("test5");

    Let me know if that is helpful.
