Disable selection of certain items

[Peter]

Is it possible to prevent selection of certain items that we have bound a listview to a custom observable collection based on an property in the item?

Hi Peter,

You can override the ItemTap Command and execute the default logic ( which is selecting the item) according to the item's properties. Here is an example of creating a custom ListView command: Using the ListViewCommand class.

Inside the Execute method you can access the tapped item and call this.Owner.CommandService.ExecuteDefaultCommand(this.Id, parameter); based on its properties.

In addition, you can style the items differently through the ItemStyleSelector property to mark them as non-selectable.

I hope I was of help.

Hello Yana, thanks for the response, I like the idea of making them non-selectable rather than after selecting change behaviour, do you have an example of how to make an item non-selectable, please?

Hi Peter,

I am sorry, I didn't explain it clearly, what I meant is through ItemStyleSelector you can make the items visually look unselectable.  Other than that, the only way to actually prevent selection is through the ListView ItemTap command.

I've attached a small example to show you exactly what I mean. Please download the attachment and give it a try.

Let me know if I can assist you with anything else.
