Question

I realise this is a strange question but there is a method to the madness. I’m using a framework which makes dragging and dropping between ListBoxes seamless, and by implementing the interfaces I’ll be able to achieve my desired outcome quite easily.

So what I have is a Listbox (lets call it ListBox B), and I want to be able to drag it to ListBox C. Now this is fine, but I don’t want Listbox C to look like a Listbox – I just want it to be an image.

So basically I want my 30x30px image to act like a listbox. The actual items collection will all be handled internally, just for intuitiveness for the user I want them to be able to drag an item from ListBox B onto the image (ListBox C).

Again, there’s no issue with the way the drag and drop behaves or how the listboxes behave – it’s simply a style question.

How can I style a Listbox so it doesn’t look like a Listbox at all – so it is just an image (which will be packaged in the application)?

Thanks

If I understood Correctly, what you need is this:

<ListBox>
   <ListBox.Template>
      <ControlTemplate>
         <Image Source="YourImage.png"/>
      </ControlTemplate>
   </ListBox.Template>
</ListBox>

Edit:

I still don’t understand your statement that

The actual items collection will all be handled internally, just for
intuitiveness for the user I want them to be able to drag an item from
ListBox B onto the image (ListBox C).

Please clarify
