Question

I wrote a listView

<ListView 
  SelectionChanged="MySelectionChanged" 
  ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="False"
  Background="Transparent" 
  x:Name="uiListView" 
  ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}" 
  ItemsSource="{Binding Albums}" 
  Width="117" 
  Height="Auto"
  BorderThickness="0" 
  ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
  ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" />

And bind it to

public class ListImage
{
    public ListImage(string cover, string title, string isvideo)
    {
        Cover = cover;
        Title = title;
        isVideo = isvideo;

    }

    public string Cover { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string isVideo { get; set; }
}

Im adding items this way:

uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "false"));
uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "true"));
uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "false"));
uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "true"));
uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "false"));
uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "true"));
uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "false"));
uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "true"));
uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "false"));
uiListView.Items.Add(new ListImage(@"C:\tablet\3kings_full.jpg", @"Title", "true"));

Everything’s nice. I now need to access ListViewItem of clicked element so

private void MySelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(uiListView.Items[uiListView.SelectedIndex].GetType().ToString());
}

But this returns me ListImage type instead of ListViewItem. How can i access it?

Best Regards

You can either use ListBox.ItemContainerGenerator or, more likely, change your approach. You can likely use the ListBox.ItemContainerStyle property to set up properties on the ListBoxItem that you need.
