Remarks

Use an IXRItemsControl to display a fixed set of items. There are several controls that inherit from IXRItemsControl that you can use in your application, but you can also use an IXRItemsControl directly. For example, if you have a group of IXRTextBlock objects that you want to be displayed as a non-selectable list, you can use an IXRItemsControl to contain the text.

You can populate the collection retrieved by IXRItemsControl::GetItems with one or more IXRFrameworkElement child objects. Alternatively, you can bind the items control to a data source to automatically generate the content of the items control. To set the data source, use the IXRItemsControl::SetItemsSource method, and define how the data is presented in the user interface of your application by creating a data template and calling the IXRItemsControl::SetItemTemplate or IXRItemsControl::SetDisplayMemberPath.

When you create a class instance, use an IXRItemsControlPtr smart pointer instead of a raw interface pointer. For more information, see XRPtr<Interface>.

You can also define an items control in Microsoft Silverlight 3 XAML. For information about the differences between XAML in XAML for Windows Embedded and Silverlight 3, see Differences Between Microsoft Silverlight 3 and XAML for Windows Embedded. For more information about how to define this element in the source XAML for your application, see the ItemsControl Class on MSDN.
