Datatemplate event via XamlReader

11-23-2008 10:35 AM |

Hello,

I'm trying to create a datatemplate column with an event, but it doesn't fire.

checkTemplate.Append("<DataTemplate ");
checkTemplate.Append("xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' ");
checkTemplate.Append("xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'>");
checkTemplate.Append("<CheckBox IsChecked='{Binding &1}'/>");
checkTemplate.Append("</DataTemplate>");
checkEditTemplate.Append("<DataTemplate ");
checkEditTemplate.Append("xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' ");
checkEditTemplate.Append("xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'>");

checkEditTemplate.Append("<CheckBox IsChecked='{Binding &1}' Click='CheckBox_Click'/>");

checkEditTemplate.Append("</DataTemplate>");
((DataGridTemplateColumn)column).CellTemplate = (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Load(checkTemplate.ToString().Replace("&1", field.Name));
((DataGridTemplateColumn)column).CellEditingTemplate = (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Load(checkEditTemplate.ToString().Replace("&1", field.Name));
private void CheckBox_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

}

If i define the template through a resource the event does fire.

The XamlReader doesn't support adding events. Instead, give your checkbox an x:Name and then once you add your Xaml to the tree you can find it and attach the event handler.

Bryant,

Thanks for your response. This seems to work but ...

checkTemplate.Append("<DataTemplate ");

checkTemplate.Append("xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' ");

checkTemplate.Append("xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'>");

checkTemplate.Append("<CheckBox x:Name ='Check_&1' IsChecked='{Binding &1, Mode=TwoWay}'/>");

checkTemplate.Append("</DataTemplate>");

checkEditTemplate.Append("<DataTemplate ");

checkEditTemplate.Append("xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' ");

checkEditTemplate.Append("xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'>");

checkEditTemplate.Append("<CheckBox x:Name ='EditCheck_&1' IsChecked='{Binding &1, Mode=TwoWay}'/>");

case "Boolean":

column = new DataGridTemplateColumn();

((DataGridTemplateColumn)column).CellTemplate = (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Load(checkTemplate.ToString().Replace("&1", field.Name));

((DataGridTemplateColumn)column).CellEditingTemplate = (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Load(checkEditTemplate.ToString().Replace("&1", field.Name));

column.Header = field.ShortLabel;

if (field.ColumnWidth != 0)column.Width = new DataGridLength(field.ColumnWidth);

dataGrid.Columns.Add(column);

if (field.DataType == "Boolean")

{

CheckBox cb = dataGrid.FindName("EditCheck_" + field.Name) as CheckBox;

cb.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(cb_Click);

}

The findname returns null, how do i find my control?

Hi Jkat,

Unfortunately we can't. Controls in a DataTemplate reside in a separate name scope. The only way to modify the control is to create an event handler for the control, and use the sender parameter to get a reference of the control.

Best regards,

Jonathan
