RadPanelBar Selected Event

[Mike Ro]

Hi.

I have a problem with setting up Selected event for RadPanelBar.
My aim is to catch an event when RadPanelBarItem is selected.

I am using DataTemplate for Item, and EntityObject entityObject containing a List<Employee>

XAML:
Resources:

<Window.Resources>

<DataTemplate x:Key="RadPanelBarItemTemplate">

<StackPanel MouseLeftButtonDown="pnlEmployee_MouseLeftButtonDown" Background="Transparent" Name="pnlEmployee" Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">

<Image Source="{Binding Photo}" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="50" Height="50"></Image>

<Label Name="lblEmployeeName" Height="50" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Content="{Binding Name}" />

<Label Name="lblEmployeeID" Content="{Binding Id}" Visibility="Hidden" />

</StackPanel>

</DataTemplate >

</Window.Resources>

 

 

RadPanelBar: 

 

<telerik:RadPanelBar Grid.Row="1" Name="rpbLeftMenu" ExpandMode="Single" Selected="rpbLeftMenu_Selected">

<telerik:RadPanelBarItem Name="rpbiEmployee" IsExpanded="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource RadPanelBarItemTemplate}">

<telerik:RadPanelBarItem.Header>

<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left">

<Label Name="lblEmployees" Content="Сотрудники"></Label>

<TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="txtEmployeesFilter" TextChanged="txtEmployeesFilter_TextChanged" Width="200"></TextBox>

</StackPanel>

</telerik:RadPanelBarItem.Header>

</telerik:RadPanelBarItem>

...

</telerik:RadPanelBar>

 

 

CodeBehind:

Getting data from DB:

try

{

IMSSDataClassesDataContext db = new IMSSDataClassesDataContext();

var query = from employees in db.imss_employees
            orderby employees.emp_lastname
            select new { employees.emp_ID };

foreach (var emp in query)
{
var em = db.get_employee_name_by_id(emp.emp_ID).First();
entityObject.Employees.Add(
new Employee(em.name, emp.emp_ID, ShowEmpImage(emp.emp_ID)));
}

rpbLeftMenu.DataContext = entityObject;

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
...
}

My solution for selecting Item event is to handle a StackPanel MouseLeftButtonDown event:

 

private void pnlEmployee_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
StackPanel sp = sender as StackPanel;
Label lb = sp.FindName("lblEmployeeID") as Label;
this.Title = Convert.ToString(lb.Content); //just for testing purposes
}

But it works only when clicking correctly inside a stackpanel.

I want something like this:

  

<telerik:RadPanelBarItem Selected="RadPanelBarItem_Selected">
<telerik:RadPanelBarItem.Header>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="5">
<TextBlock Text="BMW 128i Coupe" Margin="15 10 0 0" />
</StackPanel>
</telerik:RadPanelBarItem.Header>
</telerik:RadPanelBarItem>

private void RadPanelBarItem_Selected(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
{
...
}

 

 

 

But I can't set Selected event handler for Items which are binded like mine:
ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}" 

How should I catch selection of Items?

Best regards,

Finally, I have found solution:

 

private void rpbiEmployee_Selected(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            RadPanelBarItem rpbi = e.Source as RadPanelBarItem;
            RadPanelBar cd = rpbi.Parent as RadPanelBar;

            Employee sel_emp = cd.SelectedItem as Employee;
            if (sel_emp != null)
            {
                Title = sel_emp.Name;
            }
        }
