How to find if a Item in a ListBox has the focus?
- by eitan barazani
I have a List box defined like this:
<ListBox x:Name="EmailList"
ItemsSource="{Binding MailBoxManager.Inbox.EmailList}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedMessage, Mode=TwoWay}"
Grid.Row="1">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<usrctrls:MessageSummary />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
The UserControl is defined like this:
<UserControl x:Class="UserControls.MessageSummary"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

d:DesignWidth="600">

</Grid>
<TextBlock x:Name="Time"
Grid.Column="3"
Text="{Binding EmailProperties.DateReceived, Converter={StaticResource EmailHeaderTimeConverter}}"
TextAlignment="Center"
FontSize="16" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0" />
</Grid>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1"
Text="{Binding EmailProperties.Subject}"
TextTrimming="WordEllipsis"
Margin="0,10" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2"

</Grid>
</Grid>
The MessageSummary is a UserControl. I would like to bind the foreground color of the Items of the ListBox to whether the item is the one selected in the list box, i.e. I would like the Item's foreground color to be Black if not selected and White if the item is selected.
How can it be done?
Thanks,
