Re: Datatemplate event via XamlReader

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

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?

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.

Datatemplate event via XamlReader

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.
