All,

LowDown: I am trying to create a Document Viewer in WPF.

The layout is this: Left side is a full list box. On the right side is a Collection or an Items control. Inside the items control will be a collection of the "selected documents" in the list box. So A user can select multiple items in the list box and for each new item they select, they can add the item to the collection on the right. I want the collection to look like a image gallery that shows up in Google/Bing Image searches. Make sense?

The problem I am having is I can't get the WPFPreviewer to bind correctly to the selected item in the list box under the itemscontrol.

Side Note: The WPFPreviewer is something Micorosft puts out that allows us to preview documents. Other previewers can be built for all types of documents, but im going basic here until I get this working right.

I have been successful in binding to the list box WITHOUT the items control here:

<Window.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="listBoxTemplate">
        <StackPanel Margin="3" >
            <DockPanel >
                <Image Source="{Binding IconURL}" Height="30"></Image>
                <TextBlock Text="  " />
                <TextBlock x:Name="Title" Text="{Binding Title}" FontWeight="Bold" />
                <TextBlock x:Name="URL" Visibility="Collapsed" Text="{Binding Url}"/>
            </DockPanel>
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources><Grid Background="Cyan">
    <ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource listBoxTemplate}" Width="200" AllowDrop="True" x:Name="lbDocuments" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DocumentElements,ElementName=winDocument}"  DragEnter="documentListBox_DragEnter"  />
    <l:WPFPreviewHandler Content="{Binding ElementName=lbDocuments, Path=SelectedItem.Url}"/>
</Grid>

Though, once I add in the ItemsControl, I can't get it to work anymore:

<Window.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="listBoxTemplate">
        <StackPanel Margin="3" >
            <DockPanel >
                <Image Source="{Binding IconURL}" Height="30"></Image>
                <TextBlock Text="  " />
                <TextBlock x:Name="Title" Text="{Binding Title}" FontWeight="Bold" />
                <TextBlock x:Name="URL" Visibility="Collapsed" Text="{Binding Url}"/>
            </DockPanel>
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
    <ListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource listBoxTemplate}" Width="200" AllowDrop="True" x:Name="lbDocuments" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DocumentElements,ElementName=winDocument}"  DragEnter="documentListBox_DragEnter"  />
    <ItemsControl x:Name="DocumentViewer"  ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=lbDocuments, Path=SelectedItem.Url}" >
        <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid Background="Cyan">
                    <l:WPFPreviewHandler Content="{Binding Url}"/>
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
    </ItemsControl>
</Grid>

Can someone please help me out with trying to bind to the ItemsControl if I select one or even multiple items in the listbox.
