WPF User Control XAML binding

Question

I have following user control:

<UserControl.Resources>

    <Style TargetType="HeaderedItemsControl">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="HeaderedItemsControl">
                    <Grid>
                        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
                        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <TextBlock FontFamily="Segoe Script"
                                   Text="{Binding ElementName=myHeaderedItemsControl.Header, Path=Category, Mode=OneWay}"
                                   FontWeight="Bold"
                                   HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                                   Foreground="Olive" 
                                   Margin="20"
                                   FontSize="50"
                                   TextWrapping="Wrap"
                                   Name="myText"/>
                        <ItemsPresenter Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"/>
                    </Grid>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">        
            <TextBlock.RenderTransform>
                <TransformGroup>
                    <ScaleTransform/>
                    <SkewTransform/>
                    <RotateTransform Angle="-90"/>
                    <TranslateTransform/>
                </TransformGroup>
            </TextBlock.RenderTransform>
        </TextBlock>
    </StackPanel>-->
    <HeaderedItemsControl Name="myHeaderedItemsControl"  Header="Predrag">
    </HeaderedItemsControl>
</Grid>

and basically what i want is to bind Textblock text property to HeaderedItemsControl header property.

Why are you not just using a ContentPresenter with ContentSource="Header" as i showed in your other question? — brunnerh

You could wrap it in a Border and set the properties there, that's usually how it's done. (Also text properties can be set via attached properties as well, e.g. TextElement.Foreground) — brunnerh

Because it is made for this, also it does not restrict the content to plain text. Besides binding to the header it also allows you to hook up the HeaderTemplate and HeaderTemplateSelector (this happens automatically when you use ContentSource) — brunnerh

Why not use this:

<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding Header}" />

Don't know however, what the Path=Category means.

Is there a way to add other UIElement from c# code behind to HeaderedItemsControl because there is no Children property?
