Datatemplates while using theme does not work - WPF
- by bobjink
I am using the theme DarkExpression from WPF Futures.
It does not seem to work well with datatemplates.
Scenario 1:
Here is how it looks like without datatemplates:
Pic 1
Code:
<ListView Name="playlistListView" ItemsSource="{Binding PlaylistList}" Margin="0" SelectionChanged="DatabindedPlaylistListView_SelectionChanged" Background="{x:Null}" Opacity="0.98">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Width="Auto" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}">
<GridViewColumnHeader HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" Content="Playlist" Tag="Playlist"/>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
Scenario 2:
Here is how it looks like trying to use datatemplates while using the theme:
Pic 2
Code:
<ListView Name="playlistListView" ItemsSource="{Binding PlaylistList}" Margin="0" SelectionChanged="DatabindedPlaylistListView_SelectionChanged" Background="{x:Null}" Opacity="0.98">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<UserControls:SongDataTemplate Margin="4" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Scenario 3:
Here is how it looks like trying to use datatemplates while overriding the theme: Pic3
Code:
<UserControl.Resources>
<Style x:Key="ListViewItemStretch" TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<ListView Name="playlistListView" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListViewItemStretch}" ItemsSource="{Binding PlaylistList}" Margin="0" SelectionChanged="DatabindedPlaylistListView_SelectionChanged" Background="{x:Null}" Opacity="0.98">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<UserControls:SongDataTemplate Margin="4" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
I want to keep the theme style but I also want to use datatemplates to define how a playlist should look like. Any suggestions?
Note: In scenario 2 and 3 I had to remove
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Width="Auto" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}">
<GridViewColumnHeader HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" Content="Playlist" Tag="Playlist"/>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
Before the datatemplate would be used.
