ItemContainerGenerator implements IItemContainerGenerator, which is the interface that defines a type which:
-
Maintains an association between the data view of a multiple-item control, such as ContainerFromElement and the corresponding UIElement items.
-
Generates UIElement items on behalf of a multiple-item control.
If you need to get a specific ListBoxItem at a particular index in a ListBox you can use ItemContainerGenerator. The following example shows the ListBox and its items.
<ListBox Margin="10,0,0,5" Name="lb" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="2"> <ListBoxItem>Item 0</ListBoxItem> <ListBoxItem>Item 1</ListBoxItem> <ListBoxItem>Item 2</ListBoxItem> <ListBoxItem>Item 3</ListBoxItem> </ListBox>
This example shows how to retrieve the item by specifying the index of the item in the ContainerFromIndex property.
private void GetIndex0(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { ListBoxItem lbi = (ListBoxItem) (lb.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(0)); Item.Content = "The contents of the item at index 0 are: " + (lbi.Content.ToString()) + "."; }
Once you have retrieved the list box item you can do things such as display the contents of the item as shown in this example.
