Dynamic Data Binding with CellEditTemplate

[Philipp Egger]

Hi,

I have 2 questions about the GridView's CellEditTemplate when it comes to dynamic data binding.

My coding:

1. RadGridView control (AutoGenerateColumns = "False")
2. CellEditTemplate which has to be assigned dynamically in the code:

<UserControl.Resources>
  <DataTemplate x:Key="cellEditTemplate">
    <sdk:AutoCompleteBox Name="autoCompBox" IsTextCompletionEnabled="False"
         FilterMode="Contains"
         Populating="AutoCompleteBox_Populating" MinimumPrefixLength="3"
         IsDropDownOpen="True"
         Text="{Binding InputString2}" />
  </DataTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>

// generate the columns in the code
GridViewDataColumn col = new GridViewDataColumn();
...
col.CellEditTemplate = Resources["cellEditTemplate"] as DataTemplate;

Question 1: With 'Text="{Binding InputString2}"' I bind to a particular column. I want to have that binding dynamically handled: for each column that uses that CellEditTemplate the data binding should work.

Question 2: In the CellEditTemplate I have a AutoCompleteBox. At the moment, it is not writing back the selected value from the AutoCompleteBox into the column that is in edit mode.

Thanks for any hints.

Any hints?

Just for better understanding

I would like to do the following:

1. Define a Template
XAML:

<UserControl.Resources>
   <DataTemplate x:Key="cellEditTemplate">
      <sdk:AutoCompleteBox
           Name="autoCompBox"
           IsTextCompletionEnabled="False"
           FilterMode="Contains"
           Populating="AutoCompleteBox_Populating"
           MinimumPrefixLength="3"
           IsDropDownOpen="True"
           Text="{Binding InputString2}" />
   </DataTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>

And use this Template multiple times in the code.

Code:

GridViewDataColumn col = new GridViewDataColumn();
col.UniqueName = "InputString2";
col.CellEditTemplate = Resources["cellEditTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
this.radGridView2.Columns.Add(col);

col = new GridViewDataColumn();
col.UniqueName = "InputString3";
col.CellEditTemplate = Resources["cellEditTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
this.radGridView2.Columns.Add(col);

Problem is the data binding with Text="{Binding InputString2}" .

Thanks...
