How to get the index of the current ItemsControl item?
I would suggest looking at:
WPF ItemsControl the current ListItem Index in the ItemsSource
It explains how to work around the fact that there isn't a built in Index property on the ItemsControl.
EDIT:
I tried the following code:
<Window.Resources>
<x:Array Type="{x:Type sys:String}" x:Key="MyArray">
<sys:String>One</sys:String>
<sys:String>Two</sys:String>
<sys:String>Three</sys:String>
</x:Array>
</Window.Resources>
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{StaticResource MyArray}" AlternationCount="100" >
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=(ItemsControl.AlternationIndex),
RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},
StringFormat={}Index is {0}}">
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl >
And get a window with three TextBlocks like:
[Index is 0]
[Index is 1]
[Index is 2]
Here how I get ItemIndex
<ItemsControl>
<ItemsControl.Resources>
<CollectionViewSource x:Key="ProductItems" Source="{Binding SelectedScanViewModel.Products}">
<CollectionViewSource.SortDescriptions>
<componentModel:SortDescription PropertyName="ProductName" Direction="Ascending"/>
</CollectionViewSource.SortDescriptions>
</CollectionViewSource>
</ItemsControl.Resources>
<ItemsControl.ItemsSource>
<Binding Source="{StaticResource ProductItems}"/>
</ItemsControl.ItemsSource>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ProductName}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBox Name="txtFocus" Text="{Binding Qty}" MinWidth="80" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
behaviors:SelectTextOnFocus.Active="True">
<TextBox.TabIndex>
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource GetIndexMultiConverter}" ConverterParameter="0">
<Binding Path="."/>
<Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}" Path="ItemsSource"/>
</MultiBinding>
</TextBox.TabIndex>
</TextBox>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<UniformGrid Columns="{Binding SelectedScanViewModel.Products.Count}"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
And the converter:
public class GetIndexMultiConverter : IMultiValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
var collection = (ListCollectionView)values[1];
var itemIndex = collection.IndexOf(values[0]);
return itemIndex;
}
public object[] ConvertBack(object value, Type[] targetTypes, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException("GetIndexMultiConverter_ConvertBack");
}
}
By this way you can bind every type of collection to the ItemSource and he will be change to ListCollectionView. So the converter will work for different collection type.
