Wpf How to change List box ItemspanelTemplate using Trigger

I need to set the ItemsPanelTemplate property of a ListBox based on a DependencyProperty on the control. How do I use the DataTemplateSelector to do that?

I have something like:

<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
   <ItemsPanelTemplate>
       <!-- Here I need to replace with either a StackPanel or a wrap panel-->
   </ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>

Here (ItemsPanelTemplate Selector in wpf?) is link with Similar Question. Below is my code but its not working:

        </ListBox>
    </DockPanel>
</Window>

While running this code I'm getting ListBoxVerticalStackStyle'only.

As the error say's your trying to set a Style when it's expecting an ItemsPanelTemplate as Setter.Value. Define your resources as ItemPanelTemplate's than ListBox Style's and you should be sorted

Try something like:

<ListBox Name="lv"
          Background="LightBlue"
          FontSize="12"
          ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource myXmlDataBase},
                                XPath=Item}">
  <ListBox.Resources>
    <ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="ListBoxWrapTemplate">
      <WrapPanel Width="{Binding (FrameworkElement.ActualWidth),
                                  RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ScrollContentPresenter}}"
                  ItemHeight="{Binding (ListView.View).ItemHeight,
                                      RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ListView}}"
                  ItemWidth="{Binding (ListView.View).ItemWidth,
                                      RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ListView}}" />
    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    <ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="ListBoxHorizontalStackTemplate">    
      <StackPanel Width="{Binding (FrameworkElement.ActualWidth),
                                  RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ScrollContentPresenter}}"
                  Orientation="Horizontal" />    
    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    <ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="ListBoxVerticalStackTemplate">
      <StackPanel Width="{Binding (FrameworkElement.ActualWidth),
                                  RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ScrollContentPresenter}}"
                  Orientation="Vertical" />
    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
  </ListBox.Resources>
  <ListBox.Style>
    <Style TargetType="ListBox">
      <Style.Triggers>
        <!--  Your Trigger..  -->
        <Trigger Property="Background"
                  Value="Green">
          <Setter Property="ItemsPanel"
                  Value="{DynamicResource ListBoxVerticalStackTemplate}" />
        </Trigger>
        <Trigger Property="Background"
                  Value="LightBlue">
          <Setter Property="ItemsPanel"
                  Value="{DynamicResource ListBoxHorizontalStackTemplate}" />
        </Trigger>
        <Trigger Property="Background"
                  Value="LightGreen">
          <Setter Property="ItemsPanel"
                  Value="{DynamicResource ListBoxWrapTemplate}" />
        </Trigger>
      </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
  </ListBox.Style>

I was wondering why Viv's answer did not work in my case :-( Here is what I did wrong:

Do not define the ItemsPanelTemplate appart from the <Style.Triggers> ! If you place one in the <Listbox.ItemPanel></Listbox.ItemPanel> the style triggers won't have any effect.
