WPF - Binding Listview Grid cell to another control

Question

I'm trying to find an answer to this and I'm pretty new to WPF. It's quite something to get used to and google is not so much of a friend with WPF.

I'm trying to bind a cell item from a listview in Gridview to a simple textbox or label.

Textbox:

<TextBox Text="{Binding ElementName=AD_AccountList, Path=SelectedItem.AD_AccountName}"/>

Listview:

<ListView x:Name="AD_AccountList">
    <ListView.View>
         <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn x:Name="AD_AccountName" Header="Account" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding AccountName}"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

The listview works well and I've been able to bind my object in the background using properties. It fill but I want those textbox to be filled when I select one of the item like this:

I'm no pro in WPF but seems like you would need a mouse click event to set the value not a binding — JohnChris, Jan 26 '17 at 05:45
Based on this link: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10219130/6741868, (it uses code-behind, but there is always a way if you want to use MVVM). In the code behind of mouse left button down event, you can set the values for those textboxes. — Keyur PATEL, Jan 26 '17 at 06:23

What you need is a master-detail form. I think the data binding to your ListView is already correct. All you need is then bind the selected value to the textboxes. The easiest way is to:

bind the Text property of your textboxes to the data used by ListView,
bind it using Binding Path name, to the name of the property of the data item. set the ListView's property of IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem
The textboxes are included within a DataTemplate.

For detailed sample about this is available on MSDN Library. It's available in this MSDN link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970558(v=vs.110).aspx

Try to bind to the "AccountName" property of the selected item instead of binding to the column name "AD_AccountName":

<TextBox Text="{Binding ElementName=AD_AccountList, Path=SelectedItem.AccountName}"/>

This should work provided that the TextBox and the ListView are in the same namescope.
