How do I select a listbox item by its tag in WPF and then disable it.

I found some sample code which may help.

private:
   void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      // Get the currently selected item in the ListBox.
      String^ curItem = listBox1->SelectedItem->ToString();

      // Find the string in ListBox2.
      int index = listBox2->FindString( curItem );

      // If the item was not found in ListBox 2 display a message box,
      //  otherwise select it in ListBox2.
      if ( index == -1 )
            MessageBox::Show( "Item is not available in ListBox2" );
      else
            listBox2->SetSelected( index, true );
   }

This is what I have to do now. Is there a better way of doing the same?
 

private void MenuButtonState(string MenuButtonName, string State)
{
ListBoxItem CurrentSelectedItem = (ListBoxItem)this.MenuButtons.SelectedItem;
ListBoxItem SelectionToChangeStateOf = (ListBoxItem)this.MenuButtons.FindName(MenuButtonName);
ItemCollection MenuItems = this.MenuButtons.Items;
int IndexToDisable = MenuItems.IndexOf((ListBoxItem)SelectionToChangeStateOf);
int CurrentSelectedIndex = MenuItems.IndexOf((ListBoxItem)CurrentSelectedItem);
MenuButtons.SelectedItem = IndexToDisable;
if (State == "Disabled")
SelectionToChangeStateOf.IsEnabled = false;
else SelectionToChangeStateOf.IsEnabled = true;
MenuButtons.SelectedItem = CurrentSelectedItem;
}
 
Thanks,

Does it work?

>>>> SelectionToChangeStateOf = (ListBoxItem)this.MenuButtons.FindName(MenuButtonName);

Does the FindName return a (reference to a) ListBoxItem or does it return an index? In the latter case you hardly could cast an integer to a ListBoxItem.

It Works. I have tried other ways, but this is the best way that I have come up with that works.
 

Yep. That is much more elegant.

Thanks,
