Gallery Tool Items, [moved from Data Visualisation]
posted

Hello guys,

 

     I ve been trying to bind a custom GalleryItem collection to the Infragistics GalleryTool Items, but it just looks like there is no way I can get it work.

I have also tried the ItemsKeys in the GalleryItemGroup but also can' t get it work. 

    I am using a custom GalleryItem template as I want the item to display some extra information not just the Text and the Image.

I would like that my items to be previewed in the MenuTool. 

I am trying to do all this following the MVVM pattern so my ribbon will have its DataContext set to a model class which contains the GalleryItem collection I want to bind to. Ideal will be if I could actually have a collection of a custom type which will be the datacontext for every GalleryItem I create.

Is something like this even possible, what am i missing? Could DataTemplates  be of any use to create the GalleryItems when binding to a collection of a custom Type, something like: 

 <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type models:GalleryItemModel}">
            <IgRibbon:GalleryItem/>
</DataTemplate>

Thanks,

Andrei

    Hi,

       I have a similar situation. I wonder if you ever got anywhere on this issue. I know that I can add a GalleryItemsGroup to the GalleryTool and set the ItemsSource on that but this isn't working. If I simply have a list of strings, how can I bind this to the gallery tool in Xaml?
