Is there a way to get the index of a list box item to
display it in the datatemplate of a list box?

You can obtain the index of a ListBoxItem by asking it to the
ItemGenerator of the ListBox...

myListBox.ItemcontainerGenerator.IndexFromContainer(myListBoxItem);

>From that point, you can either place your index in the ControlTemplate
of the ListBoxItem trough the ItemContainerStyle of the Listbox or,
whitin the DataTemplate of the data item, you could do a binding using
RelativeSource to retrieve the ListBoxItem.

Hope this gives you the information you were looking for...

thanks for the hint. Do you see a way to do that in XAML only
or at most using a ValueConverter, but without invoking any method?
