我有一个可重复使用的对话框/窗口,提示用户从列表框中选择一个项目,然后点击确定' OK'确认选择。

效果很好;但是,列表框并不知道它提前处理的数据类型。因此,列表绑定到ObservableCollection<Object>,可以由对话框的调用者设置。

此外,列表框还有一个自定义项模板,允许用户从列表中删除项目。

以下是我所描述的对话框:

ListDialogBox

理想情况下,我想利用DisplayMemberPath列表框,但我不允许,因为我正在创建自己的项目模板。这是一个问题,因为调用者应该能够指定他/她想要绑定到我已设置的自定义项模板的属性。

由于这种方法不起作用,我的第一个问题是:

1。我可以在运行时指定数据绑定值的路径吗?

在XAML中,我希望看到类似的东西,但这是错误的:

<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    <Label Content="{Binding Path={Binding CustomPath}}"/>
    <Button Width="20" Height="20" FontWeight="Bold" Content="×"/>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>

(为简洁起见省略了一些属性)

假设第一个问题已经解决,我还有另外一个问题。列表框使用非泛型类型Object,它不具有调用者想要绑定的属性。列表框无法将对象强制转换为自定义类型并访问所需的属性。这引出了我的第二个问题。

2。如何指示ListBox能够使用未知数据类型,但能够选择数据绑定值的路径?

也许这应留给SO上的另一个问题,但是能够指定绑定是否使用ToString()或属性是很好的。


我能想到的唯一解决方案是创建一个具有调用者必须使用的属性(名为DisplayText)的接口。然后该列表将绑定到ObservableCollection<CustomInterface>的实例。

但是,不希望将现有的数据类型包装到此接口中,这样才能正常工作。有更好的方法吗?


编辑:实施者如何使用ListDialogBox

以下是我希望调用者能够设置对话框(或类似简单的东西):

public CustomItem PromptForSelection()
{
    ListDialogBox dialog = new ListDialogBox();
    dialog.Items = GetObservableCollection();
    dialog.ListDisplayMemberPath = "DisplayName";
    dialog.ShowDialog();
    if(!dialog.IsCancelled)
    {
        return (CustomItem) dialog.SelectedItem;
    }
}

public ObservableCollection<Object> GetObservableCollection()
{
    ObservableCollection<Object> coll = new ObservableCollection<Object>();

    CustomItem item = new CustomItem(); 
    item.DisplayName = "Item1";
    CustomItem item2 = new CustomerItem();
    item2.DisplayName = "Item2";
    //...

    coll.Add(item);
    coll.Add(item2);
    //...

    return coll;
}

代码无效,因为如果ObservableCollection<Object>用于ListDialogBox DisplayName 属性没有意义。 这是因为Object没有定义该属性。

ListDialogBox类中,我想将项目模板的标签绑定到 DisplayName 属性,因为这是提供的ListDisplayMemberPath

我怎样才能克服这个?

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:3)

此答案旨在解决原始问题中的问题,并提供了如何为将来的读者实施ListDialogBox的示例。

原始问题中的问题涉及能够指定如何在ListBox中显示信息。由于ListBox不知道它在运行时显示的数据类型,因此没有直接的方法来指定&#34;路径&#34;这指向所显示的所需属性。

这个问题的最简单的解决方案是创建一个ListDialogBox独占使用的接口,然后调用者只需要创建该接口的实例来自定义信息的显示方式。

此解决方案的唯一缺点是呼叫者需要提供他/她的数据以符合ListDialogBox;但是,这很容易实现。

如何创建和实施ListDialogBox

ListDialogBox的目标是使OpenFileDialogSaveFileDialog类似于初始化对话框,提示结果,然后处理结果。

首先,我将展示&amp;解释ListDialogBox的代码(XAML和代码隐藏)。
下面的XAML已经过修剪,只显示对话框的结构和必要的属性。

<Window
    //You must specify the namespace that contains the the converters used by
    //this dialog
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:<your-namespace>"
    //[Optional]: Specify a handler so that the ESC key closes the dialog.
    KeyDown="Window_KeyDown">
<Window.Resources>
    //These converters are used to control the dialog box.
    <BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BoolToVisibility"/>
    <local:NullToBooleanConverter x:Key="NullToBool"/>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
     //This displays a custom prompt which can be set by the caller.
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Prompt}" TextWrapping="Wrap" />

    //The selection button is only enabled if a selection is made (non-null)
    <Button IsEnabled="{Binding Path=SelectedItem, 
                                ElementName=LstItems,
                                Converter={StaticResource NullToBool}}" 
        //Display a custom message for the select button.
        Content="{Binding SelectText}" 
        //Specify a handler to close the dialog when a selection is confirmed.
        Click="BtnSelect_Click" Name="BtnSelect" />

    //The cancel button specifies a handler to close the dialog.
    <Button Content=" Cancel" Name="BtnCancel" Click="BtnCancel_Click" />

    //This list box displays the items by using the 'INamedItem' interface
    <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" Name="LstItems"        
             ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
        <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
            <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
                <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment"  Value="Stretch"/>
            </Style>
        </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
        <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <DockPanel>

            <Button DockPanel.Dock="Right" 

            //The delete button is only available when the 'CanRemoveItems'
            //property  is true.  See usage for more details.
            Visibility="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Window}}, 
                                    Path=CanRemoveItems, 
                                    Converter={StaticResource BoolToVisibility}}" 
            //Visual properties for correctly displaying the red 'x'.
            //The 'x' is actually the multiplication symbol: '×'
            FontFamily="Elephant" Foreground="Red" FontWeight="Bold" FontStyle="Normal" 
            FontSize="18" Padding="0,-3,0,0" Content="×" 
            //[Optional]: Align button on the right end.
            HorizontalAlignment="Right" 
            //Specify handler that removes the item from the list (internally)
            Click="BtnRemove_Click" />

            //The DockPanel's last child fills the remainder of the template
            //with the one and only property from the INamedItem interface.
            <Label Content="{Binding DisplayName}"                          
                //[Optional]: This handler allows double-clicks to confirm selection.
                MouseDoubleClick="LstItem_MouseDoubleClick"/>

                </DockPanel>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>
</Grid>

NullToBooleanConverter与SO上的this answer基本相同。它用于根据ListBox.SelectedItemnull来启用/禁用确认选择按钮。此转换器的不同之处在于,当转换后的值为 NOT true时,它会返回null

    {
        RemoveItem = item;
    }

    public INamedItem RemoveItem { get; private set; }
    public bool Cancel { get; set; }
}

INamedItem接口:

现在已经呈现了ListDialogBox,我们需要了解调用者如何使用它。如前所述,最简单的方法是创建一个接口。

INamedItem接口仅提供一个属性(称为DisplayName),ListDialogBox需要这些属性的列表才能显示信息。 ListDialogBox取决于调用者为此属性设置有意义的值。

界面非常简单:

public interface INamedItem
{
    string DisplayName { get; set; }
}

用法:

此时,涵盖了与ListDialogBox功能相关的所有类,现在是时候在程序中查看和实现它了。

为此,我们需要实例化ListDialogBox,然后设置自定义任何所需的属性。

ListDialogBox dialog = new ListDialogBox();
dialog.Prompt = "Select a pizza topping to add from the list below:";
dialog.SelectText = "Choose Topping";
dialog.CanRemoveItems = true; //Setting to false will hide the 'x' buttons.

ListDialogBox需要ObservableCollection<INamedItem>,因此我们必须在继续之前生成该StringItem。为此,我们创建了一个包装类&#39;对于我们想要使用的数据类型。在此示例中,我将创建一个实现INamedItem的{​​{1}}类,并将DisplayName设置为任意字符串。见下文:

public class StringItem : INamedItem
{    //Local copy of the string.
    private string displayName;

    //Creates a new StringItem with the value provided.
    public StringItem(string displayName)
    {   //Sets the display name to the passed-in string.
        this.displayName = displayName;
    }

    public string DisplayName
    {   //Implement the property.  The implementer doesn't need
        //to provide an implementation for setting the property.
        get { return displayName; }
        set { }
    }
}

然后StringItem用于创建ObservableCollection<INamedItem>

ObservableCollection<INamedItem> toppings = new ObservableCollection<INamedItem>();
toppings.Add(new StringItem("Pepperoni"));
toppings.Add(new StringItem("Ham"));
toppings.Add(new StringItem("Sausage"));
toppings.Add(new StringItem("Chicken"));
toppings.Add(new StringItem("Mushroom"));
toppings.Add(new StringItem("Onions"));
toppings.Add(new StringItem("Olives"));
toppings.Add(new StringItem("Bell Pepper"));
toppings.Add(new StringItem("Pineapple"));

//Now we can set the list property:
dialog.Items = toppings;

此时已经设置了基本实现。我们只需要调用dialog.ShowDialog(),然后处理结果。但是,由于该示例允许用户从列表中删除项目,我们可能需要提示进行确认。为此,我们需要订阅RemoveItem事件。

RemoveItemEventHandler myHandler = (object s, RemoveItemEventArgs args) =>
{
    StringItem item = args.RemoveItem as StringItem;
    MessageBoxResult result = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure that you would like" + 
        " to permanently remove \"" + item.DisplayName + "\" from the list?",
        "Remove Topping?", 
        MessageBoxButton.YesNo, MessageBoxImage.Question);

    if (result == MessageBoxResult.No)
    {    //The user cancelled the deletion, so cancel the event as well.
        args.Cancel = true;
    }
};

//Subscribe to RemoveItem event.
dialog.RemoveItem += myHandler;

最后,我们可以显示ListDialogBox并处理结果。我们还必须记得取消订阅RemoveItem事件:

dialog.ShowDialog();
dialog.RemoveItem -= myHandler;

//Process the result now.
if (!dialog.IsCancelled)
{
    StringItem item = dialog.SelectedItem as StringItem;
    MessageBox.Show("You added the topping \"" + item.DisplayName +
        "\" to your pizza!");
}

剩下的就是将此代码放在您的应用程序中并自行运行。 上面的示例创建了以下ListDialogBox

我可以在运行时指定数据绑定值的路径吗?在XAML中,我希望看到类似的东西,但这是错误的:

<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
     <Label Content="{Binding Path={Binding CustomerPath}}"/>
     <Button Width="20" Height="20" FontWeight="Bold" Content="×"/>
 </ListBox.ItemTemplate>

绑定已经错了。如果您的ListBox's ItemsSourceCustomers,并且您想要绑定其内容,则只需使用{Binding Path=CustomerPath}。您的问题的答案是肯定的,您可以在运行时指定数据绑定值的路径。您必须为Template加载每个ListBox,然后在运行时设置bindings

伪代码:

  1. 加载项目模板
  2. 获取标签控件
  3. 将绑定设置为调用者设置属性以将其绑定到
  4. 的绑定
      

    如何指示ListBox能够使用未知数据类型,但能够选择数据绑定值的路径?

    绑定将在绑定的ToString()上调用class。因此,如果您的绑定是正确的并假设您有Customer作为对象

    <Label Content="{Binding .}"/>
    

    如果你没有覆盖ToString()对象的Customer,它将显示默认的ToString(),但是如果你这样做,那么它将会显示在{Label中。 1}}。这是一个丑陋的解决方案,只是替换DisplayMemberPath

    给出的ListBox

    理想情况下,我会在运行时设置绑定而不是创建一个接口,这不仅仅是因为您所说的内容,而且将用于此控件的后续对象必须实现该接口。
