ListBox ItemsPanel TransitionControl

[Bobby Ross]

I have a small application for editing elements on a Canvas placed inside a ListBox as the ItemsPanel.  As the CurrentSlide via timer or pager buttons I would like the Transitions to be displayed against the entire canvas.
What would be the best way to place the Canvas into a TransitionControl and notify it that the outer CurrentSlide has changed.  I would prefer not placing the entire ListBox within a DataTemplate which is the only available option I can see off hand.  Any help would be appreciated.

<TextBlock Text="{Binding CurrentSlide.Name}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding CurrentSlide.Description}" />

// Would like to overlay Transitions onto the Listbox below when the CurrentSlide changes.  Listbox uses a canvas to position and render elements.
<ListBox x:Name="SlideList" BorderBrush="Transparent" BorderThickness="0" ItemsSource="{Binding CurrentSlide.Elements}" SelectionChanged="SlideList_SelectionChanged" >
                                    <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
                                        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                                            <Canvas x:Name="editCanvas"  Background="{Binding CurrentSlide.Background, Converter={StaticResource BackgroundConverter}}" />

                                        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                                    </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
</ListBox>

Hi Bobby,

In order to avoid using a DataTemplate you would need to extract the ListBox control into a UserControl and set it as content of RadTransitionControl. Afterwards setting a new UserControl with a different DataContext as a Content of RadTransitionControl will allow you to achieve the desired. We have created a sample project that demonstrates the described approach - please, check ti.

We hope this will help you.
