Item template for AnimatedStackPanel - Views for WPF Forum

Posted 13 years ago by Michael Haps

Hello.

Why cant I generate a item template for the AnimatedStackPanel like this?



        <ListBox Name="_list"
                 ItemsSource="{Binding Path=MyList}"
                 >
            <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <views:AnimatedStackPanel Name="_aPanel"
                                              Orientation="Vertical"
                                              >
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Description"/>
                    </views:AnimatedStackPanel>
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
        </ListBox>

The designer throws an exception:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Hi Michael,

What you have is not valid and wouldn't work with the native WPF StackPanel either. The ItemsPanel can only contain the Panel, without any child elements. I think you are looking for the ItemTemplate property, so something like:

<ListBox Name="_list" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=MyList}">
    <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <views:AnimatedStackPanel Name="_aPanel" Orientation="Vertical" />
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Description}" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
