Templating the datagrid header?

10-21-2008 12:26 PM |

Any ideas how to dynamically template the datagrid header? I can template the columns cells like this

DataGridTemplateColumn templateColumn = new DataGridTemplateColumn();

templateColumn.Header = "My Header";

templateColumn.CellTemplate = (DataTemplate)Resources["myColumnTemplate"];

But cant seem to find a way to do a similar thing for the header. I need to be able to inject some extra controls into the header.

Thanks

Christian

Hello, the only way to achieve this is to create a HeaderStyle, and it must be done in XAML (at least the Style must be written in XAML).

First import the namespace System.Windows.Controls.Primitives:

xmlns:datap="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Primitives;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data"

Now write the HeaderStyle:

<data:DataGridTemplateColumn.HeaderStyle>

<Setter.Value>

</ControlTemplate>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

</data:DataGridTemplateColumn.HeaderStyle>

Instead of Button (<Button Content="aaa"/>), I have a check box here. I need to chenge the checked property of it at run time. How can I refer that control and change it at run time?
