Question

Sorry if this is a basic question, but how can I take an ItemTemplate that I have for a ListBox, and put it in the resources for the window so that more than one ListBox can use it.

Here’s some XAML:

<Window x:Class='Example'>     <Window.Resources>         <DataTemplate x:Key='dtExample'>             <ListBox.ItemTemplate>             // styles go here...             </ListBox.ItemTemplate>         </DataTemplate>     </Window.Resources>     <ListBox ItemTemplate='{StaticResource dtExample}'>     // items go here...     </ListBox> </Window> 

This is throwing a ‘Attached property has no setter’ design-time error. I’ve removed portions of code that I didn’t think would matter, for sake of brevity.

Thanks

just add your itemtemplate to your window’s resource and add a key:

<Window.Resource>  <DataTemplate x:Key='myTemplate'>   ....  </DataTemplate> </Window.Resources> 

and then apply it with something like this:

<ListBox ItemTemplate='{StaticResource myTemplate}'>  ... </ListBox>
