I have a flowdocument in WPF that looks like this:
<FlowDocument xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Paragraph FontFamily="Georgia">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Title}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=AssignedTo}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>
instead of giving the DataContext a class with the Title and AssignedTo property, I would like to give it a List of that class and have the flowdocument show each of them objects. Can someone tell me how to form the XAML in the flowdocument to do this?
Who knows, maybe as simple as the following code sample will work for you, Ajma:
<Window x:Class="WpfTest.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:WpfTest="clr-namespace:WpfTest"
xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
xmlns:Collections="clr-namespace:System.Collections;assembly=mscorlib"
Title="Bound Inlines Sample" Height="300" Width="300">
<Window.Resources>
<Collections:ArrayList x:Key="array">
<System:String>Hello</System:String>
<System:String>World</System:String>
<System:String>!</System:String>
</Collections:ArrayList>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<FlowDocumentReader>
<FlowDocument>
<Paragraph FontFamily="Georgia">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{StaticResource array}"/>
</Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>
</FlowDocumentReader>
</Grid>
</Window>
If it's not, you can always create your own attached property and do whatever you can imagine inside property changed notification. Here is a small sample with Span control:
CS:
public class SpanOperations : DependencyObject
{
public static IEnumerable GetInlineSource(DependencyObject obj)
{
return (IEnumerable)obj.GetValue(InlineSourceProperty);
}
public static void SetInlineSource(DependencyObject obj, IEnumerable value)
{
obj.SetValue(InlineSourceProperty, value);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty InlineSourceProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("InlineSource", typeof(IEnumerable), typeof(SpanOperations), new UIPropertyMetadata(null, OnInlineSourceChanged));
private static void OnInlineSourceChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var span = d as Span;
if (span == null)
{
// It's a demo only. Can work with only spans...
return;
}
span.Inlines.Clear();
var inlines = e.NewValue as IEnumerable;
if (inlines != null)
{
foreach (var inline in inlines)
{
// We assume only inlines will come in collection:
span.Inlines.Add(inline as Inline);
}
}
}
}
XAML
<Window x:Class="WpfTest.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:WpfTest="clr-namespace:WpfTest"
xmlns:Collections="clr-namespace:System.Collections;assembly=mscorlib"
Title="Bound Inlines Sample" Height="300" Width="300">
<Window.Resources>
<Collections:ArrayList x:Key="array">
<Run>Hello</Run>
<LineBreak/>
<Run>Hello</Run>
<LineBreak/>
<Bold>
<Run>Hello</Run>
</Bold>
</Collections:ArrayList>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<FlowDocumentReader>
<FlowDocument>
<Paragraph FontFamily="Georgia">
<Span WpfTest:SpanOperations.InlineSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource array}}"/>
</Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>
</FlowDocumentReader>
</Grid>
</Window>
Hope this helps :)
