I need to create a new ListBox based on items that are selected (checked). The following code actually worked if I only had like 20 items on the ListBox, but adding more items make it crash. Can anybody know how to make it work, or have a different aproach? Is there a limite for looping through a listBox?
// worked fine for 20 items,
// but my actual list contems 95 items...
private void btnCreateNewList_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
int totalItemsCB = ListCheckBoxVocabulary.Items.Count;
for (int ii = 0; ii < totalItemsCB-1; ii++)
{
ListBoxItem item = this.ListCheckBoxVocabulary.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(ii) as ListBoxItem;
CheckBox thisCheckBox = FindFirstElementInVisualTree<CheckBox>(item);
if (thisCheckBox.IsChecked == true)
{
dataPlayListSource.Add(new SampleData() { Text = thisCheckBox.Content.ToString() + " | " + ii });
// this.PlayListCheckBoxVocabulary.UpdateLayout();
this.PlayListCheckBoxVocabulary.ItemsSource = dataPlayListSource;
}
}
}
private T FindFirstElementInVisualTree<T>(DependencyObject parentElement) where T : DependencyObject
{
var count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parentElement);
if (count == 0)
return null;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parentElement, i);
if (child != null && child is T)
{
return (T)child;
}
else
{
var result = FindFirstElementInVisualTree<T>(child);
if (result != null)
return result;
}
}
return null;
}
and xaml:
<controls:PivotItem Header="Vocabulary" >
<ListBox x:Name="ListCheckBoxVocabulary" Margin="0,0,-12,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!--<StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,17" Width="432">-->
<CheckBox x:Name="cbVocabulary" Content="{Binding Text}" Checked="CheckBox_Checked" Unchecked="UncheckBox" />
<!--</StackPanel>-->
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</controls:PivotItem>
