Itemssource of DocumentContainer

[Arjan van der Stelt]

Hi,

I have an WPF application that uses a DocumentContainer to show multiple windows. The windows are added programmatically using the following lines of code:

TestDoc temp1 = new TestDoc();
DocumentContainer.SetHeader(temp1, "test1");
this.MyContainer.Items.Add(temp1);

Where TestDoc is just a selfmade user control.

This works, but then I found out that DocumentContainer contains the ItemsSource property. So it would be great if I could use data binding to bind to an ObservableCollection. But when I tried this I got the following error:

'Binding' cannot be set on the 'ItemsSource' property of type 'DocumentContainer'.

Is it possible to bind an ObservableCollection, for example, to the ItemsSource of the DocumentContainer?!

Thanks,

Arjan

Hi Arjan,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Yes. It is possible to bind an ObservableCollection data to the DocumentContainer’s ItemsSource property. We have created a simple sample to demonstrate this feature. Please find the sample from the link given below.

Hope this will fulfill your requirement. Please let me know if you have any other queries.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thank you for the fast solution for my problem, it realy helped me.
I'm now able to bind the ItemsSource to an ObservableCollection. Here is my code:

public partial class ARACWindow : RibbonWindow
{
private ObservableCollection<object> MyDocuments;
this.MyDocuments = new ObservableCollection<object>();
this.MyContainer.ItemsSource = this.MyDocuments;
}

I added the property MyDocuments to the window and set the ItemsSource of the DocumentContainer to that property.

It workes great, now I can just add controls to the ObservableCollection and they are being showed in the DocumentContainer.

Thanks,

Arjan
