Property Value

Type	Description
DataTemplateSelector	A DataTemplateSelector object that chooses the current ThemedWindow‘s toolbar item template based on custom logic.

Remarks

A selector assigned to the ToolbarItemTemplateSelector property chooses a template and applies it to toolbar items (see the ThemedWindow.ToolbarItems property) of this ThemedWindow. To explicitly select a required template, assign it to the ThemedWindow.ToolbarItemTemplate property. Refer to the Choosing Templates Based on Custom Logic topic for more information.

C#

  public class SampleTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector {
      public DataTemplate BlueBorderTemplate { get; set; }
      public DataTemplate OrangeBorderTemplate { get; set; }
      public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container) {
          if(item.ToString() == "code_1") {                
              return (container as FrameworkElement).TryFindResource("BlueBorderTemplate") as DataTemplate;
          }
          if(item.ToString() == "code_2") {                
              return (container as FrameworkElement).TryFindResource("OrangeBorderTemplate") as DataTemplate;
          }
          return base.SelectTemplate(item, container);
      }
  }

VB.NET

Public Class SampleTemplateSelector
  Inherits DataTemplateSelector

  Public Property BlueBorderTemplate As DataTemplate
  Public Property OrangeBorderTemplate As DataTemplate

  Public Overrides Function SelectTemplate(ByVal item As Object, ByVal container As DependencyObject) As DataTemplate
      If item.ToString() = "code_1" Then
          Return TryCast((TryCast(container, FrameworkElement)).TryFindResource("BlueBorderTemplate"), DataTemplate)
      End If

      If item.ToString() = "code_2" Then
          Return TryCast((TryCast(container, FrameworkElement)).TryFindResource("OrangeBorderTemplate"), DataTemplate)
      End If

      Return MyBase.SelectTemplate(item, container)
  End Function
End Class
