SelectedItem not casting to binding type

[dsoltesz]

If I try to cast the Selected item to the binding type its always null.  I'm using hierarchicial databinding.  If i try to cast object to level 1 or level 2 in the hierarchary, cast always fails or is null.

 

 

 

 

if (m_CatQuestionBar.HasSelectedItem())
{
    Category selectedCategory = m_CatQuestionBar.SelectedItem as Category
    if(selectedCategory != null)
    {
        //do something
    }
    else
    {
        //unable to cast
    }
}

I can provide a sample app if needed

Hello Dan,

I confirmed the incorrect behavior: It seems that the Panelbar returns the container wrapper and not the data item. Currently, to get the data item you need to retrieve it from the DataContext of the item, for example:

(panelBar.SelectedItem as Control).DataContext

This will be fixed in the next ServicePack release of the controls.

Thank you for your feedback! Your Telerik Points have been updated.

Hi,

Which version of the control was this broken in, and which version will it be fixed in?

Thanks,
