Editing items in a bound ListBox?

[ABitSmart]

My apologies, I misintepreted your question. Updated the code snippet, hopefully I have got you correct this time. XAML,

<TextBox Text="{Binding ElementName=playlists, Path=SelectedItem.Name, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<ListBox Name="playlists" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Files}" SelectionMode="Single">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

Code,

public class MyFile
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}

public class Playist
{
public ObservableCollection Files { get; set; }

public Playist()
{
    Files = new ObservableCollection();
    Files.Add(new MyFile { Name = "a" });
    Files.Add(new MyFile { Name = "b" });
    Files.Add(new MyFile { Name = "c" });
    Files.Add(new MyFile { Name = "d" });
}

}

public partial class Window1 : Window
{
private PlayList _playlist = new PlayList();
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
playlists.DataContext = _playlist;
}
}

Is this what you are trying to sort out ?

I was writing my reply while you posted this. Well, yes, you can use one of the two, not both at a time. In your case, using ItemsSource renders Items readonly. But you can modify ItemsSource. The example I posted does that.

Brilliant! Works like a champ. Thanks for your help on this. I cleaned up the code just a bit--complete code and XAML is posted below. XAML:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding ElementName=playlists, Path=SelectedItem.Name, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<ListBox Name="playlists" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Files}" SelectionMode="Single">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
<Button Content="Show file list from DC" Click="Button_Click" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>

Code:

using System.Windows;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Text;

namespace WpfApplication1
{
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
private PlayList _playlist = new PlayList();
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
playlists.DataContext = _playlist;
}

    private void Button\_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        foreach (MyFile file in \_playlist.Files)
        {
            sb.Append(file.Name + " ");
        }
        MessageBox.Show(sb.ToString());
    }
}

public class MyFile 
{ 
    public string Name { get; set; } 
}

public class PlayList 
{
    public ObservableCollection<MyFile> Files { get; set; }

    public PlayList() 
    {
        Files = new ObservableCollection<MyFile>();
        Files.Add(new MyFile { Name = "a" });
        Files.Add(new MyFile { Name = "b" });
        Files.Add(new MyFile { Name = "c" });
        Files.Add(new MyFile { Name = "d" }); 
    } 
}

}

Hi, I am facing the similar kind of issue. But I am actually changing the controTemplate of ListBoxItem itself with ContentPresenter & a TextBox. Did the same thing as per the posted contents but it did not work with the binded list. I have given something like below in the ControlTemplate of ListBox Item. ; Kindly suggest.

[ABitSmart]

You code did not come through.

See if it appears perfectly now.. Hi, I am facing the similar kind of issue. But I am actually changing the controTemplate of ListBoxItem itself with ContentPresenter & a TextBox.

Actually TextBox will be hidden & will be visible on DoubleClick. At that time, I want the content of ListBox item to be modified in Textbox & after lostfocus of TextBox, it should update ListBox Item & again becomes hidden. This works for unbound list but for bound list, I need your suggestions.

[ABitSmart]

It won't work because you are binding the TextBox to the ContentPresenter. There is no binding to your data element at all.

[User 3671134]

This is a custom control. In window, ItemSource of this control is bind to a collection Object. Do you suggest some other approach for this.

[ABitSmart]

You should try something like this Link[^]

[ABitSmart]

But you have not bound any property of the collection to the ListBox item. How do you expect the collection to change?

[User 3671134]

Hi, We are doing the binding as below: <eclp:EclpList   Name="eclpList" Margin="5" Height="Auto" Width="100" ItemsSource="{Binding}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" SelectionChanged="cmb_SelectionChanged"   /> See if this can give any ideas.. Thnx Ritesh
