[Solved] Access current DetailsView in selected Row

[Juan]

Hello,

I have a GridView which has a DataTemplate defined for its DetailsView, and the Details view show up when the user clicks on any row, the Details are internal to the grid, but the template for the details is part of a resource of the page.

I can get access to the Grid holding the items for the template when an event is raised inside the details view, but I am unable to get a lock on the same details view from an event raised outside the gridview.

looking aroud I get a lock to the current selected row using:

GridViewRow selectedRow = radGridViewData.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(radGridViewData.SelectedItem) as GridViewRow;

But from here I am lost, I need to modify some field inside the details view from a button out of the grid.

Thanks;
Juan Mejia

Hello Juan,

Use the extension method ChildrenOfType<T>.

For example, if you had a Grid inside your row details template:

var grid = (Grid)selectedRow.ChildrenOfType<DetailsPresenter>()[0].Content;

I hope this helps.
