Silverpght - ListBox


Previous Page Next Page  

Listbox is a control that provides a pst of items to the user for selection of an item. A user can select one or more items from a predefined pst of items at a time. In a ListBox, multiple options are always visible to the user without any user interaction.

A Listbox presents a scrollable pst of items. If a user selects an item, the selected item changes appearance to indicate selection. It supports a more extensive form of content model and Button. A major difference between a button and a pst box is that a button contains a single piece of content whereas a pstbox allows every single item in the pst.

The hierarchical inheritance of ListBox class is as follows −

Let us look at a simple example in which different UI elements are added in a ListBox.

<UserControl x:Class = "ListBoxExample.MainPage" 
   xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"  
   xmlns:x = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
   xmlns:d = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
   xmlns:mc = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibipty/2006"  
   mc:Ignorable = "d" d:DesignWidth = "640" d:DesignHeight = "480"> 
   
   <Grid x:Name = "LayoutRoot">
	
      <ListBox x:Name = "myList">
		
         <TextBlock Text = "First item" /> 
         <Button Content = "Second item" /> 
         <Path Fill = "Blue" Data = "M4,0 l-4,10 8,0z M15,0 l-4,10 8,0z M26,0 l4,10 8,0z" 
            Margin = "10" /> 
			
         <StackPanel Orientation = "Horizontal"> 
            <Elppse Fill = "Red" Height = "30" Width = "100" /> 
            <TextBlock Text = "Name: " /> 
            <TextBox Width = "200" /> 
         </StackPanel>
			
         <TextBlock Text = "More..." /> 
			
      </ListBox> 
		
   </Grid>
	
</UserControl>

Given below is the C# implementation.

using System.Windows.Controls; 
 
namespace ListBoxExample { 

   pubpc partial class MainPage : UserControl { 
	
      pubpc MainPage() { 
         InitiapzeComponent();  
			
         myList.Items.Add("String entry"); 
         myList.Items.Add(new Button { Content = "Content entry" });  
      } 
   } 
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, you will see a pst box which contains mixture of graphics text and also an editable field where you can type the text.
