How to bind from ViewModel to controls in usercontrol

Hi;
I'm using wpf here mvvm. I have some questions.

Right now I'm binding from CategoryViewModel to an ListView - this works perfect. I also set the SelectedCategory when selecting a row in the ListView (that works also - I have checked it with a button on the page).

Now I want when selecting a row in the Listview that row should be viewed in some controls on the page (1 Label, 1 textbox, 2 checkboxes), but I can't figure out how to do this.

Don't pay attention to the ComboBox, that I will ask a question about when those things here works.

Best regards
Simsen :-)

My Model

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Text;

namespace Model.Account
{
    public class CategoryModel { }

    public class Category : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        public Category(){}

        private int categoryId;

        public int CategoryId
        {
            get { return categoryId; }
            set { categoryId = value; OnPropertyChanged("CategoryId"); }
        }

        private string categoryName;

        public string CategoryName
        {
            get { return categoryName; }
            set { categoryName = value; OnPropertyChanged("CategoryName"); }
        }

        private bool categoryIsGlobal;

        public bool CategoryIsGlobal
        {
            get { return categoryIsGlobal; }
            set { categoryIsGlobal = value; OnPropertyChanged("CategoryIsGlobal"); }
        }

        private bool categoryIsObsolete;

        public bool CategoryIsObsolete
        {
            get { return categoryIsObsolete; }
            set { categoryIsObsolete = value; OnPropertyChanged("CategoryIsObsolete"); }
        }

        private int projectId;
        public int ProjectId
        {
            get { return projectId; }
            set { projectId = value; OnPropertyChanged("ProjectId"); }
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

        private void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
        {
            PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
}

My ViewModel

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using Model.Account;
using DAL.Account;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace ViewModel.Account
{
public class CategoryViewModel
{
private Category _selectedCategory;
public MyICommand DeleteCommand { get; set; }

    public Category SelectedCategory
    {
        get
        {
            return _selectedCategory;
        }

        set
        {
            _selectedCategory = value;
            DeleteCommand.RaiseCanExecuteChanged();
        }
    }

    public CategoryViewModel()
    {
        LoadCategories();
        DeleteCommand = new MyICommand(OnDelete, CanDelete);
    }        

    public List<Category> Categories_GetAll { get; set; }
    public List<Category> Categories_GetActive { get; set; }
    public List<Category> Categories_GetInactive { get; set; }

    public void LoadCategories()
    {
        DalCategory dalCategory = new DalCategory();
        var categories = dalCategory.GetCategories();

        if (categories != null)
        {
            //All
            Categories_GetAll = categories;

            //Active
            Categories_GetActive = categories.Where(x => x.CategoryIsObsolete == false).ToList();

            //Inactive
            Categories_GetInactive = categories.Where(x => x.CategoryIsObsolete == true).ToList();
        }
    }


    public void SaveChanges()
    {
        //Her gemmes ændringer
        //CategoryModel mod = new CategoryModel();
        ///Debug.Assert(false, String.Format("{0} was updated", cat.CategoryName));
    }
    #region Delete

    private void OnDelete()
    {
        Category cat = SelectedCategory;
        int id = cat.CategoryId;
        Categories_GetActive.Remove(SelectedCategory);
    }

    private bool CanDelete()
    {
        return SelectedCategory != null;
    }
    #endregion
}

}

    I figured out by myself.

    I do off course have to bind the textboxes, labels an so on to the listview - and here to do a path to the selectedValue:

    I have changed the code from this:

    <Label x:Name="LblCategoryActiveId" Margin="0 0 8 0" Content="{Binding Path = CategoryId, Mode = TwoWay}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left"  />
    

    to this

    <Label x:Name="LblCategoryActiveId" Margin="0 0 8 0" Content="{Binding ElementName=LivCategories, Path = SelectedValue.CategoryId, Mode = TwoWay}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left"  />
