Title Body

I have a ListBox, that's bound to an ObservableCollection . Each ListBoxItem is displayed with a DataTemplate . I have a button in my DataTemplate , that when clicked, needs a reference to the member of the ObservableCollection it's part of the DataTemplate for. I can't use the ListBox.SelectedItem property because the item does not become selected when clicking the button. So either: I need to figure out how to properly set ListBox.SelectedItem when the mouse hovers, or when the button is clicked. Or I need to figure out another way to get a reference to the CLR Object bound to the ListBoxItem that the button belongs to. The second option seems cleaner, but either way is probably OK. Simplified code segment below: XAML: <DataTemplate x:Key="postBody"> <Grid> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=author}"/> <Button Click="DeleteButton_Click">Delete</Button> </Grid> </DataTemplate> <ListBox ItemTemplate="{StaticResource postBody}"/> C#: private void DeleteButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine("Where mah ListBoxItem?"); }
