最近想实现这么个东西,一个ListBox, 里面的ListBoxItem可能是文本框、下拉框、日期选择控件等等。
很自然的想到了DataTemplateSelector,并且事先定义好各类DataTemplate以显示不同的控件。
先定义好各类资源

< DataTemplate x:Key ="textBox" >
< Border BorderBrush ="Gray" BorderThickness ="1" >
< TextBox Text =" {Binding CombinedValue} " ></ TextBox >
</ Border >
</ DataTemplate >
< DataTemplate x:Key ="comboBox" >
< Border BorderBrush ="Gray" BorderThickness ="1" >
< ComboBox ItemsSource =" {Binding CombinedValue} " ></ ComboBox >
</ Border >
</ DataTemplate >
< DataTemplate x:Key ="dateTime" >
< Border BorderBrush ="Gray" BorderThickness ="1" >
< DatePicker Text =" {Binding CombinedValue} " ></ DatePicker >
</ Border >
</ DataTemplate >
</ Window.Resources >
然后在ListBox中设置ItemDataTemplateSelector

< ListBox.ItemTemplateSelector >
< local:DataTypeTemplateSelector TextBoxTemplate =" {StaticResource textBox} "
ComboBoxTemplate =" {StaticResource comboBox} "
DateTimeTemplate =" {StaticResource dateTime} " ></ local:DataTypeTemplateSelector >
</ ListBox.ItemTemplateSelector >
</ ListBox >
新建一个类继承DataTemplateSelector

{
public DataTemplate TextBoxTemplate { get; set; }
public DataTemplate ComboBoxTemplate { get; set; }
public DataTemplate DateTimeTemplate { get; set; }
public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate( object item, DependencyObject container)
{
CombinedEntity entity = item as CombinedEntity; // CombinedEnity为绑定数据对象
string typeName = entity.TypeName;
if (typeName == " TextBox ")
{
return TextBoxTemplate;
}
if (typeName == " ComboBox ")
{
return ComboBoxTemplate;
}
if (typeName == " DateTime ")
{
return DateTimeTemplate;
}
return null;
}
}
设置好DataContext,即可运行

{
public List<CombinedEntity> entities;
public CombinedControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
entities = new List<CombinedEntity>()
{
new CombinedEntity{ CombinedValue= new List< string>{ " 1 ", " 2 ", " 3 "}, TypeName= " ComboBox "},
new CombinedEntity{ CombinedValue = " Test ", TypeName= " TextBox "},
new CombinedEntity{ CombinedValue=DateTime.Now, TypeName= " DateTime "}
};
this.DataContext = entities;
}
}
public class CombinedEntity
{
/// <summary>
/// 绑定数据的值
/// </summary>
public object CombinedValue
{
get;
set;
}
/// <summary>
/// 数据的类型
/// </summary>
public string TypeName
{
get;
set;
}
}
如果运行成功,我们可以看到一个下拉框,一个文本框,一个日期选择控件都做为ListBox的子项显示在窗口中。
但是,我发现,在DataTypeTemplateSelector对象的SelectTemplate 方法中,居然需要把item对象转换成我们的绑定数据对象
这意味着前台需要引入后端的业务逻辑,代码的味道相当不好,不过没有关系,我们有强大的反射工具,重构下代码:

{
Type t = item.GetType();
string typeName = null;
PropertyInfo[] properties = t.GetProperties();
foreach (PropertyInfo pi in properties)
{
if (pi.Name == " TypeName ")
{
typeName = pi.GetValue(item, null).ToString();
break;
}
}
if (typeName == " TextBox ")
{
return TextBoxTemplate;
}
if (typeName == " ComboBox ")
{
return ComboBoxTemplate;
}
if (typeName == " DateTime ")
{
return DateTimeTemplate;
}
return null;
}
这样,我们就无需引入后端的实体(Model)对象,保证了前端的干净。
运行起来,还是没有问题,仔细看DataTypeTemplateSelector对象的SelectTemplate 方法,还是有点丑陋,这里把CombinedEntity的TypeName属性硬编码,万一TypeName改成ControlName或其他名字,控件则无法按照预期显示。
再次重构,首先修改绑定对象CombinedEntity

{
/// <summary>
/// 绑定数据的值
/// </summary>
public object CombinedValue
{
get;
set;
}
/// <summary>
/// 显示控件的类型
/// </summary>
public Type ControlType
{
get;
set;
}
}
修改ListBox绑定数据源

{
new CombinedEntity{ CombinedValue= new List< string>{ " 1 ", " 2 ", " 3 "}, ControlType = typeof(ComboBox)},
new CombinedEntity{ CombinedValue = " Test ", ControlType = typeof(TextBox)},
new CombinedEntity{ CombinedValue=DateTime.Now, ControlType = typeof(DatePicker)}
};
this.DataContext = entities;
最后再次修改DataTypeTemplateSelector对象的SelectTemplate 方法

{
Type t = item.GetType();
Type controlType = null;
PropertyInfo[] properties = t.GetProperties();
foreach (PropertyInfo pi in properties)
{
if (pi.PropertyType == typeof(Type))
{
controlType = (Type)pi.GetValue(item, null);
break;
}
}
if (controlType == typeof(TextBox))
{
return TextBoxTemplate;
}
if (controlType == typeof(ComboBox))
{
return ComboBoxTemplate;
}
if (controlType == typeof(DatePicker))
{
return DateTimeTemplate;
}
return null;
}
这样,要显示不同的控件,在ControlType里面定义即可,然后在XAML添加DataTemplate,在DataTemplateSelector对象中根据不同的ControlType返回不同的DataTemplate,而且实现的方式看上去比较优雅。
