I have overridden the windows ListBox in order to display an image and a piece of text in each ListBoxItem, but I need to filter the contents of the text displayed I was hoping to do this by accessing the DisplayMemberPath of the actual ListBox however I can’t get it working.

<Setter Property='ItemContainerStyle'>         <Setter.Value>             <!-- Simple ListBoxItem - This is used for each Item in a ListBox. The item's content is placed in the ContentPresenter -->             <Style TargetType='{x:Type ListBoxItem}'>                 <Setter Property='SnapsToDevicePixels' Value='true'/>                 <Setter Property='OverridesDefaultStyle' Value='true'/>                 <Setter Property='VerticalContentAlignment' Value='Center'/>                 <Setter Property='Template'>                     <Setter.Value>                         <ControlTemplate TargetType='{x:Type ListBoxItem}'>                             <Grid SnapsToDevicePixels='true'>                                 <Border x:Name='Border'>                                     <Grid Height='40'>                                         <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>                                             <ColumnDefinition Width='Auto'/>                                             <ColumnDefinition Width='*'/>                                         </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>                                         <Image                                             Source='{Binding Path=ThumbnailImage}'                                             Height='30'                                             Width='30'                                             Grid.Column='0'/>                                          <Label                                              x:Name='Text'                                             Content='{TemplateBinding DisplayMemberPath}'                                             VerticalAlignment='{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}'                                             VerticalContentAlignment='Center'                                             HorizontalAlignment='Stretch'                                             Grid.Column='1'                                             Height='40'/>                                     </Grid>                                 </Border>                             </Grid>                             <ControlTemplate.Triggers>                                 <Trigger Property='IsSelected' Value='true'>                                     <Setter Property='FontWeight' Value='Bold' TargetName='Text'/>                                     <Setter Property='Foreground' Value='White' TargetName='Text'/>                                     <Setter Property='Background' Value='Blue' TargetName='Border'/>                                 </Trigger>                             </ControlTemplate.Triggers>                         </ControlTemplate>                     </Setter.Value>                 </Setter>             </Style>         </Setter.Value>     </Setter>

This is the code I am using for my style and this was the line I can’t get working:

Content='{TemplateBinding DisplayMemberPath}’

It complains with: Cannot find the static member ‘DisplayMemberPathProperty’ on the type ‘ListBoxItem’

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

  1. Its ok, I have got the value from the ListBox now, all i need to do is convert it to take the property i need from the dataobject in the itemssource.

    Just in case anyone wanted to know the code:

    Content='{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=ListBox}, Path=DisplayMemberPath}'
