accessing first cell of selected row

[regis]

Hi All,

Is there a way to access a control that is in the first cell of a selected row during gridview selectionchanged event?

My first cell is a GridViewColumn with a combobox. It's not bind to the datasource.

In the the AddedItems or RemovedItems property of e I have the buisness object but nothing regarding the first cell/column that is not part of the datasource.

What would be the easiest way to change the selected item in the combobox when selecting a row.

I need to change the selected value in the combobox for the newly selected row and for the ex-selected rows.

thank you

Hello regis,

You could access the first cell pretty easily by subscribing to the SelectionChanged and in the event handler doing something like that:

void RadGridView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangeEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.AddedRecords.Count > 0)
    {
        var newSelectedRow = (GridViewRow)
            this.RadGridView1.ItemsControl.ItemsGenerator.ContainerFromItem(e.AddedRecords[0]);

        // access first cell
        var firstCell = (GridViewCell)newSelectedRow.Cells[0];
        firstCell.Content = "new selected";
    }

    if (e.RemovedRecords.Count > 0)
    {
        var oldSelectedRow = (GridViewRow)
            this.RadGridView1.ItemsControl.ItemsGenerator.ContainerFromItem(e.RemovedRecords[0]);

        // access first cell
        var firstCell = (GridViewCell)oldSelectedRow.Cells[0];
        firstCell.Content = "old selected";
    }
}

Once you have access to the firstCell you can inspect its visual tree, find the ComboBox and manipulate it.

Hi Milan,
Thanks for replying,
sadly i don't manage to make it works.

I have a window1 that is calling a window2 (a radwindow) when clicking a button:
window1:

private void NewForm(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            LoadForm newIcp = new LoadForm();

            newIcp.ShowDialog();

        }

on the window2 i have the gridview. After collecting the data and populating the gridview , when the selectrow event is firing i got an error
window2:

private void gridSamples_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangeEventArgs e)
        {


            for (int i=0; i < e.RemovedRecords.Count; i++)
            {
                var newSelectedRow = (GridViewRow)gridSamples.ItemsControl.ItemsGenerator.ContainerFromItem(e.AddedRecords[0]);
                //access first cell

                var cell = (GridViewCell)newSelectedRow.Cells[0];


            }

the error occurs when I hit newSelectRow line. for some reason accessing gridSamples fired the click event on window1, and fails on  newIcp.ShowDialog line.

error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation
innerexception:Object reference not set to an instance of an object

i don't understand why i am getting there again as I am dealing with window2.
I try to see in the documentation regarding the life cycle but don't find anything that may help me.

thank you

Hi all,

I posted a ticket (ID:234606 ) two weeks ago but still don't get any answer. Here is the project. I still don't manage to access the first cell of the selected row on order to change the selected value in the combobox.

As I am new to WPF may be i am doing something incorrect but I do tried a lot of ways.

thank you

Hi regis,

As far as I can see Vladimir Enchev has responded to the ticked that you have specified (on 8/13/2009 at 3:56:34 AM). Have you tried his proposed solution?

All the best,
