In this sixth part of my multi-part series on the WPF list box, you explore searching and filtering. If you wish to provide your user with the ability to search for data within your list box, there are a few ways to do so. Three different methods are going to be explored in this blog post; simple text searching using built-in list box functionality, build your own search method, and use the filtering on the CollectionViewSource object. The first method is easy to implement and simple for the user. The second method is ideal if you wish to allow your user to input one or many values to search upon. The third method is good if only one search field is being used.)
In this fifth part of a series of blog posts on the WPF list box, you are going to learn to use the CollectionViewSource class in .NET to group Product data on one of the columns. The CollectionViewSource class can be created in XAML and passed parameters in order to group the product data coming from your data source. In addition, you may instantiate a CollectionViewSource class in code and change the grouping of the data based on a user selection.)
In this fourth part of a series of blog posts on the WPF list box, you are going to learn to use the CollectionViewSource class in .NET to sort data. The CollectionViewSource class can be created in XAML and passed parameters in order to sort the data coming from your data source. In addition, you may instantiate a CollectionViewSource class in code and sort the data based on a user selection.)
This is part three of a series of blog posts on using the WPF list box. In this post you learn to use data triggers allow you to change how each row is presented based on data in your data source. You can use a single trigger or multiple triggers depending on your needs. You are also going to build a converter class to accept two or more pieces of data and the return value is used as a data trigger.)
This is part two of a series of blog posts on using the WPF list box. In this post you change a list box to display rows horizontally instead of vertically. You learn to change list box templates dynamically at runtime. Finally, you learn to pass multiple pieces of data from your data source to a converter class and have that class return a single piece of data to be displayed.)
The WPF ListBox is a very versatile control. In this multi-part series of blog posts, you will be shown a myriad of ways to coerce the ListBox to work the way you want. You will learn how to create multi-row and column items with images, how to change the information displayed in each row dynamically, and how to present the list box horizontally. You will also learn to use data triggers, sorting, grouping, and filtering. In this post, you learn to add multiple rows and columns to each row of your list box.)
