[Solved] AutoGeneratingField

[Andreas Decke]

Hello,
my code in AutoGeneratingField:

if (e.PropertyName.Equals("RssPolitikCount"))
{
  e.DataField.FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold;
  RadNumericUpDown upDown = new RadNumericUpDown();
  upDown.NumberDecimalDigits = 0;
  upDown.Width = 60;
  upDown.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
  Binding b = new Binding("RssPolitikCount");
  b.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
  upDown.SetBinding(RadRangeBase.ValueProperty, b);
  e.DataField.Content = upDown;
}

the RDF is AutoEdit = false, normally is the Control (Textbox, ComboBox) IsReadOnly = true.
The upDown is allways enabled.

Please, how can i do for the upDown to IsReadOnly = true in Mode= RadDataFormMode.ReadOnly
and IsReadOnly=false in Mode = RadDataFormMode.Edit

thanks

Hi Richard ,

I am attaching a small demo to illustrate how this can be achieved .

Hey there,
Great solution so far, however, I'd like to use the AutoGeneratingFieldEventArgs to define the Control Type, such as TextBox or some Framework element.

I understand that this is generally done in Resources with a DataTemplate, however, our product doesn't use any XAML to be able to define the DataTemplate in.  Our product doesn't use much in the way of DataBinding, due to our data and layout being Dynamic.  It is challenging.

void MWDataFormAutoGeneratingField(object sender, AutoGeneratingFieldEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (MWDataField mwDataField in MWDataFields)
    {
        if (e.PropertyName.Equals(mwDataField.FieldName))
        {
            e.DataField.Label = mwDataField.Text;

            if (mwDataField.ControlType.Equals("CheckBox"))
            {
                e.PropertyType = typeof (DataFormCheckBoxField);
            }
            if (mwDataField.ControlType.Equals("TextBox"))
            {
                RadToggleButton thisone = new RadToggleButton();
                e.DataField.Content = thisone;
            }
            if (mwDataField.ControlType.Equals("Date"))
            {
                e.PropertyType = typeof (DataFormDateField);
            }
        }
    }
}

This is a test of things that I am playing with to get an understanding.  At compile time, the DataForm doesn't know what it's DataFields will be, but these are stored as MWDataField which holds all the information to create the DataForm.

In this example, the RadToggleButton is created however, I wasn't sure how to populate the content of the ToggleButton without using DataBinding via a Converter.

Any thoughts or help is appreciated.

Hi Clinton,

I am not sure I understand . You can actually use databinding and converter , without any XAML .
There is no problem in creating a Binding runtime  and setting a converter to it.
