Silverlight datagrid questions

09-01-2008 10:35 AM |

I have 2 questions about the silverlight datagrid:

 - How can I programmatically set a multiple selection of the datagrid? I have an array of selected rowID's and want to iterate the rows and set the ones that are in my array to 'selected'. Couldn't find anything that does this.

 - Is it possible to use indexers to set the binding of a DataGridColumn? For example:

DataGridTextColumn textColumn = new DataGridTextColumn();

Binding binding = new Binding("MyArray[x]");

This doesn't work, but how can I accomplish this?

I think you cannot do that.

But you can do that:

textColumn.DataContext = MyArray[x];
Binding binding = new Binding();

Hi,

You Can set Selection mode by  Specifying Selection mode Property.

Which is taking two value Single or Extended.

Example is below..

x:Name="myDataGrid" Style="{StaticResource grid}"

AutoGenerateColumns="False" HeadersVisibility="Column" SelectionMode="Single" >

Hi Harsh,

 Yes I know about the selectionmode property, I already have that set on "Extended". But my question is how I can set the selected (highlighted) rows programmatically.

Hi Skyrunner,

 My DataGridTextColumn doesn't seem to have a DataContext property. Are you using beta2?

In fact I didn't try.

Try with GridView control.

gridView1.DataContext = xxx;

Any one has the answer/workaround to the original question in this thread? I am working on an UI that allows user to adjust the sequence of a list. To allow user to continuously press "Move Up" button, I have to preserve the user's selection between two clicks.

Thanks
