ListView Background Color

I have a ListView where one element of the Collection is a color and the element is called "ItemColor" (of type Color). I want to set a given ListViewItem to be that color.

No matter what I try, I can't get this to work. In the example below, the Background is being set to a static color, but I want this to be something like Value= Binding(ItemColor) and the background of that item to show as being that color.

Code:

---

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=RowSelected}" Value="True">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="Gainsboro"  />
                <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold" />
            </DataTrigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

---

Any help appreciated.

Code:

---

<TextBlock Text="{Binding MyColor}" Width="80" >
    <TextBlock.Background>
        <SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding MyColor}" />
    </TextBlock.Background>
</TextBlock>

---

This also doesn't work. the Background remains the default color.

I got to the bottom of this and for posterity the solution is;

Assuming MyCollection has a member "Color", create an additional string member such as MyCollection.KnownColor and set it to MyCollection.Color.Name.ToString(). Then use the XML below.

Code:

---

<ListView VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name ="ListBoxResults" 
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=MyCollection}" SelectionMode="Single">
    <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
        </Style>
    </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
          <GridViewColumn Header =" Colour "  Width="60" >
            <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
              <DataTemplate>
                <TextBlock Text=Color>
                        <TextBlock.Background>
                        <SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding KnownColor}" />
                        </TextBlock.Background>
                </TextBlock>
                </DataTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn>
                <GridViewColumn Header=" Size "  Width="60">
                <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                <TextBlock  Text="{Binding AnOther}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
                </DataTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn>
                </GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>

If you want a transparent box for the game cards, leave the background field empty, rather than specifying a color. That should make it transparent for you.

You should not bind to a color but to a brush, in your case a SolidColorBrush
