Hi I have ListBox with 7 items of Rainbow colors and stackpanel with respective colors. I need to bind this stack panel visibility based on ListBox selected Item. In simple words if i select Red Color from ListBox then Red Color stackpanel should be visible and rest other stack panels should collapse

What I have tried:

Visibility="{Binding Path=SelectedItem,Mode=OneWay,ElementName=ListBox1}"

Binding should work like this, just that the selecteditem won't be of the correct type for System.Windows.Visibility - so use a converter, or make it a (calculated) property on your ViewModel (but it seems you don't use MVVM - you know that WPF works best with MVVM?). Maybe a DataTrigger could do the same without a converter (not 100% shure, din't try it for your case)
