i have a label in a listbox,there are many datatemplates in the listbox,and each template has a label,i am unable to retrieve the content of label from code behind in .cs file,the data template is common but every label has different text inside it.,so how can i retrieve each label value from the templates.As also there is a delete button for the template,which deletes the template selected.so if user deletes the templates,there are less templates inside listbox,so how do i iterate through the labels now to retrieve value.
here is the code for template
<TabItem>
<Canvas Height="700" Width="850">
<Canvas.Resources>
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="Tasks" XPath="tasks"
Source="http://store.tymesheet.com/templates/Software-Developer.xml"/>
<DataTemplate x:Key="tasktemplate1">
<Canvas Height="50" Width="850">
<Label x:Name="tasklabel" Content="{Binding XPath=name}" Height="30"
Width="170" Canvas.Top="10" Canvas.Left="150"
Background="LightGray"/>
<TextBox Height="30" Width="100" Canvas.Top="10"
Canvas.Left="370" Background="AliceBlue"/>
<Label Canvas.Left="500" Canvas.Top="10">$</Label>
<Button Click="deletebuttonclick"
Canvas.Top="12" Height="10" Width="30"
Canvas.Left="600"/>
</Canvas>
</DataTemplate>
</Canvas.Resources>
<ListBox ItemTemplate="{StaticResource tasktemplate1}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Tasks}"
x:Name="tasklistBox" Height="700" Width="850"/>
<Label Canvas.Top="-18" Canvas.Left="185">Select Task</Label>
<Label Canvas.Top="-18" Canvas.Left="377" RenderTransformOrigin="0.58,0.462">Enter Bill Rates</Label>
<Button Click="addtask" Canvas.Left="39" Canvas.Top="575" Width="139">Click to add the task</Button>
</Canvas>
</TabItem>
here is the behind code for button
private void addtask(object sender,RoutedEventArgs e)
{
foreach (ListBoxItem item in tasklistBox.Items)
{
// Getting the ContentPresenter of myListBoxItem
ContentPresenter myContentPresenter = FindVisualChild<ContentPresenter>(item);
// Finding textBlock from the DataTemplate that is set on that ContentPresenter
DataTemplate myDataTemplate = myContentPresenter.ContentTemplate;
System.Windows.Forms.Label mydata = (System.Windows.Forms.Label)myDataTemplate.FindName("tasklabel", myContentPresenter);
// Do something to the DataTemplate-generated TextBlock
System.Windows.MessageBox.Show("element" + mydata);
}
}
In my .cs file i have also loaded the xml file for deleting the template.
{
InitializeComponent();
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("http://store.tymesheet.com/templates/Software-Developer.xml");
var taskList = doc.ChildNodes.OfType<XmlNode>()
.Where(node => node.Name == "tasks")
.SelectMany(node => node.ChildNodes.OfType<XmlNode>());
Tasks = new ObservableCollection<XmlNode>(taskList);
this.DataContext = this;
}
any help,thanx.
