Quest: WPF & listview item selection...

Brandon

HI all,

I am working on a WPF listview that get items through the XMLDataProvider
and making a listview with two actual columns and in both CellTemplete XAML
in a grid bind more than one snippet of the XML data to the cell. Now this
works fine no problem...

When I try to setup a IsSelected trigger I lose the default listview
selection UI and only the new look of the ListViewItem after the trigger
takes effect shows what Item is selected. What is going on here with default
listview selection UI and can I get it back with the trigger in place too?

NOTE: For those that don't know what I mean by default listview selection UI
just open windows explorer and select a item and mouse over another - I want
that to work on the IsSelected trigger version of my listview for full row
selection...

Any help...

It's hard to help without some more detailed information.

Can you post a short example of some code that shows your problem?

Thanks for your reply - well this example is not my work but example shows
the problem...

There is a zip with the WPF listview example at the of Beatriz Costa's
blog... "http://www.beacosta.co m/blog/?cat=9"

The zip was easy for me to compile and run has is... The exe shows the WPF
Listview similar to mine and like her example I show extra information for
the selected item and like her example I lose the default listview selection
UI when the IsSelected trigger is in play.

Also if you edit her or my example and cut out the triggers(deleti ng the
trigger's xaml open/close tag and tag's inner content) and run example the
Listview completely render more as a picture(no selection IU) of a Listview
execpt the Listview Header still works...

So now how can I get the default Listview selection UI to work with the
IsSelected trigger is in play also?

Basically, you can't. Once you've retemplated a control, the default
template is no longer involved.

You can download the default template and modify it, but that's probably
a bad idea.

OK I guess I will have to wait till the next srv pack for the default...

What is a good idea direction to look toward say creating a non-standard
like say for starts a ##% transparent solid color full row selection and
mouse over bars.

Should all I need to do it mess with the IsSelected trigger some more and
add a mouse over trigger too...

Any more help...

Drag&Drop for multiple items

The ideal result would be to be able to drag the selected files, but as soon as I click on the LB to do the drag a new selection is made that cancels the current one and by searching with google it...

enable/disable buttons based on ListView selection
