WPF - Hosting a content control inside a Data Template via code

Question

I'm trying to host a content control within a data template.

Exactly similar to this: Putting a ContentControl *inside* a WPF DataTemplate?

I was successful in doing it via XAML. I'd like to do the same via code.

I created a style :

<Style x:Key="radioButtonAddtruefalse"> <Setter Property="Control.Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <RadioButton Content="True" IsChecked="{Binding Value}"></RadioButton> <RadioButton Content="False" IsChecked="{Binding Value, Converter={StaticResource _invertedBooleanConverter}}"></RadioButton> </StackPanel> </ControlTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style>

and within a data template:

 <DataTemplate> <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource radioButtonAddtruefalse}"> /ContentControl> </DataTemplate>

I tried doing this via code, but found nothing under DataTemplate that allows me to host a contentcontrol. Any suggestions?

Look at stackoverflow.com/questions/5471405/…

Just copied from MSDN Forum but this should work. Havent tried it though.

FrameworkElementFactory fef = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(TextBlock)); Binding placeBinding = new Binding(); fef.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, placeBinding); placeBinding.Path = new PropertyPath("Name"); dataTemplate = new DataTemplate(); dataTemplate.VisualTree = fef;

Also look at Create DataTemplate in code behind

Thanks for the reply. Turns out the contentcontrol when done in xaml doesn't really appear in the Template's visualtree. It's there as a child... Found a workaround. (Not specific to above discussion, hence not putting it in). I did learn about FrameworkElementFactory though. Thanks.
