HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemContainerStyle Property

Definition

Gets or sets the Style that is applied to the item container for each child item.

C#
public System.Windows.Style ItemContainerStyle { get; set; }

Property Value

The Style that is applied to the item container for each child item.

Examples

The following example creates a TreeView that uses one style for items in its first level and another style for items in its second level. The style for the first level is set in the ItemContainerStyle property of the TreeView. The style for the second level is set in the ItemContainerStyle property of the HierarchicalDataTemplate.

XAML
<StackPanel>
  <StackPanel.Resources>
    <src:TreeViewData x:Key="dataItems"/>


    <HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type src:ItemsForTreeView}"
                              ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SecondLevelItems}">

      <!--Display the TopLevelName property in the first level.-->
      <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=TopLevelName}"/>
      
      <!--Display each string in the SecondLevelItems property in
          the second level.-->
      <HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemTemplate>
          <DataTemplate>
              <TextBlock Text="{Binding}"/>
          </DataTemplate>
      </HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemTemplate>
      
      <!--Set the foreground of the items in the second level
          to Navy.-->
      <HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="TreeViewItem">
          <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Navy"/>
        </Style>
      </HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemContainerStyle>  
    </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
  </StackPanel.Resources>

  <TreeView Height="200" 
            ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource dataItems}}"
            VirtualizingStackPanel.IsVirtualizing="True"
            VirtualizingStackPanel.VirtualizationMode="Recycling">
    <TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
      
      <!--Expand each TreeViewItem in the first level and 
          set its foreground to Green.-->
      <Style TargetType="TreeViewItem">
        <Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="True"/>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green"/>
      </Style>
    </TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
  </TreeView>
</StackPanel>

The following example creates the data that is used in the previous example.

C#
public class TreeViewData : ObservableCollection<ItemsForTreeView>
{

    public TreeViewData()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
        {
            ItemsForTreeView item = new ItemsForTreeView();
            item.TopLevelName = "item " + i.ToString();
            Add(item);
        }
    }
}

public class ItemsForTreeView
{
    public string TopLevelName { get; set; }
    private ObservableCollection<string> level2Items;

    public ObservableCollection<string> SecondLevelItems
    {
        get 
        {
            level2Items ??= new ObservableCollection<string>();
            return level2Items;
        }
    }

    public ItemsForTreeView()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        {
            SecondLevelItems.Add("Second Level " + i.ToString());
        }
    }
}

Remarks

You use this property or the ItemContainerStyleSelector property to set a style to affect the appearance of the elements that contain the data items. For example, for TreeView, the generated containers are TreeViewItem controls; for Menu, they are MenuItem controls.
