Attributes

Examples

The following example binds a TabControl to a collection of Student objects. The Student class has a Name property, a collection of Course objects, and implements the IFormattable.ToString method to return either the Name of the student or a string that lists the student's courses. The example uses HeaderStringFormat to put a student's name in the Header of each TabItem (which inherits from HeaderedContentControl), and the TabControl.ContentStringFormat to display the course list for each student in the Content of the TabItem.

<Grid>
  <Grid.Resources>
    <src:Students x:Key="Students"/>

    <Style TargetType="TabItem">
      <Setter Property="HeaderStringFormat" Value="n"/>
      <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Lucida Sans Unicode"/>
      <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green"/>
      <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
    </Style>
  </Grid.Resources>

  <TabControl ItemsSource="{StaticResource Students}"
              FontFamily="Lucida Console" Foreground="Navy"
              ContentStringFormat="cl"/>
</Grid>

The following example implements the IFormattable.ToString method to return either the Name of the student or a string that lists the student's courses.

public string ToString(string format, IFormatProvider formatProvider)
{
    // 'n': print the name only.
    if (format == "n")
    {
        return Name;
    }

    // 'cl': print the course list.
    if (format == "cl")
    {
        string stringFormat = "{0,-25}{1,-30}{2,-10}\r\n";

        StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();

        str.AppendLine(); 
        str.AppendFormat(stringFormat, "Title", "Description", "ID");
        str.AppendLine(); 

        foreach (Course c in Courses)
        {
            str.AppendFormat(stringFormat, c.Title, c.Description, c.SectionID);
        }

        return str.ToString();
    }

    return this.ToString();
}
Public Overloads Function ToString(ByVal format As String, ByVal formatProvider As IFormatProvider) As String Implements IFormattable.ToString
    ' 'n': print the name only.
    If format = "n" Then
        Return Name
    End If

    ' 'cl': print the course list.
    If format = "cl" Then
        Dim stringFormat As String = "{0,-25}{1,-30}{2,-10}" & vbCrLf

        Dim str As New StringBuilder()

        str.AppendLine()
        str.AppendFormat(stringFormat, "Title", "Description", "ID")
        str.AppendLine()

        For Each c As Course In Courses
            str.AppendFormat(stringFormat, c.Title, c.Description, c.SectionID)
        Next c

        Return str.ToString()
    End If

    Return Me.ToString()
End Function

Remarks

HeaderStringFormat can be a predefined, composite, or custom string format. For more information about string formats, see Formatting Types. If you set the HeaderTemplate or HeaderTemplateSelector property of a HeaderedContentControl, the HeaderStringFormat property is ignored.
