CellEditTemplate Binding is not working

[Dharmavaram]

Hi I am having combobox in the GridViewData column and i am binding the ItemSource with one  of the property present on the class binded to the radgridview itemsource collection.For example I binded radgridview with list of employees.Employee is a class and I binded the combobox itemsource with dependants property which is one of the property on the employee class.

But the combobox is not populating.DataContext of RadGridView is separate and it is another viewmodel class.

 

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="ComboBox"  SelectedIndex="0"  Height="20" Width="150"
                            ItemsSource="{Binding Items,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=telerik:GridViewRow}}"
                            ItemTemplate="{StaticResource RadComboBoxItemTemplate}"
                            SelectionBoxTemplate="{StaticResource SelectionBoxTemplate}">
                           </telerik:RadComboBox>
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>

Hello Dharmavaram,

Generally speaking, the GridViewRow element does not expose an Items property. Thus, such binding is expected not to be working. In case I am not missing anything, you should be able to defined the needed binding by setting it to the GridViewRow.DataContext property. It represents the bound item. Can you please give it a try? Is this the behavior you are aiming at?
