I have a ListBox bound to a string ObservableCollection
.
Whenever a particular string value in the ObservableCollection
contains a path to a file , then it should show as a Hyperlink and when clicked it should open the file.
How to implement this in the ItemTemplate?
You can achieve this using DataTemplateSelector
public class HyperlinkDataTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector
{
public DataTemplate RegularTemplate { get; set; }
public DataTemplate HyperlinkTemplate { get; set; }
public override System.Windows.DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, System.Windows.DependencyObject container)
{
var str = item as string;
// Check if str contains path and return the dataTemplate accordingly
return // Either RegularTemplate or HyperlinkTemplate
}
}
In xaml
<local:HyperlinkDataTemplateSelector x:Key="itemTemplateSelector">
<local:HyperlinkDataTemplateSelector.RegulatTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=YourProperty}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</local:HyperlinkDataTemplateSelector.RegularTemplate>
<local:HyperlinkDataTemplateSelector.HyperlinkTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink NavigateUri="{Binding Path=YourProperty}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=YourProperty}" />
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</local:HyperlinkDataTemplateSelector.HyperlinkTemplate>
</local:HyperlinkDataTemplateSelector>
In your ListBox
declaration use your DataTemplateSelector
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=YourCollection}" ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource itemTemplateSelector}">
Hope this helps
