I'm trying to change the foreground color of the items in the ListBox individually for each item, I've already posted a similar question but this one is more concrete.
I hoped that the state of the color is reserved for each item added to the ListBox, so I tried to create a property (in this case "HotkeysForeground"), bind it and change the color when the items are added in the "HotkeyManager_NewHotkey" event, the problem it's changing the foreground color for all the items in the ListBox.
How can I do that per item ?
Here is the ViewModel I use.
namespace Monkey.Core.ViewModel
{
using System;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Windows.Media;
using Monkey.Core.SystemMonitor.Accessibility;
using Monkey.Core.SystemMonitor.Input;
public class MainWindowViewModel : WorkspaceViewModel
{
private readonly FocusManager _focusManager;
private readonly HotkeyManager _hotkeyManager;
private readonly ObservableCollection<string> _hotkeys;
private Color _foregroundColor;
private string _title;
public MainWindowViewModel()
{
_hotkeys = new ObservableCollection<string>();
_hotkeyManager = new HotkeyManager();
_hotkeyManager.NewHotkey += HotkeyManager_NewHotkey;
_focusManager = new FocusManager();
_focusManager.Focus += FocusManager_Focus;
}
public Color HotkeysForeground
{
get
{
return _foregroundColor;
}
set
{
_foregroundColor = value;
OnPropertyChanged(() => HotkeysForeground);
}
}
public ReadOnlyObservableCollection<string> Hotkeys
{
get
{
return new ReadOnlyObservableCollection<string>(_hotkeys);
}
}
public string Title
{
get
{
return _title;
}
set
{
_title = value;
OnPropertyChanged(() => Title);
}
}
protected override void OnDispose()
{
base.OnDispose();
_hotkeyManager.Dispose();
_focusManager.Dispose();
}
private void FocusManager_Focus(object sender, FocusManagerEventArgs e)
{
Title = e.Title;
}
private void HotkeyManager_NewHotkey(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
{
HotkeysForeground = _hotkeys.Count <= 2 ? Colors.Blue : Colors.Brown;
_hotkeys.Clear();
foreach (var hotkey in _hotkeyManager.GetHotkeys())
{
_hotkeys.Add(hotkey);
}
}
}
}
Here is the view.
<Window x:Class="Monkey.View.MainWindow"

<Window.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding HotkeysForeground}" x:Key="HotkeysBrush"/>
</Window.Resources>
<ListBox

ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Hotkeys}" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="20">
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False" />
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label Content="{Binding}" Foreground="{StaticResource HotkeysBrush}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Window>
Thank you in advance.
