Adding a TextBox to GridView

[Sean Wright]

Hello,

I don't know why I can't find the answer to this anywhere online or in various Help resources, but here is the problem: I have a RadGridView in Silverlight. The majority of the columns are bound to a datasource, however, I need to have the very last column contain an empty TextBox which users can input text into. I can't figure out how to add a TextBox control to the column, though.

Here is the GridView code. Can anyone tell me the syntax to insert a TextBox into that last column, the one whose HeaderText property is "Comments"?

Thank you very much:

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Margin="0,0,8,8">
   <Controls:RadGridView x:Name="theResultsGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="False" MinHeight="100" IsReadOnly="True" d:LayoutOverrides="GridBox" Margin="0,0,8,53" >
   <Controls:RadGridView.Columns>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Est. Code" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=EstimateCode}"/> 
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Order" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=EntryOrder}"/> 
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="PcMk" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=PieceMarkConnectionCode}"/> 
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Drawing" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Drawing}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Material Desc." DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=AiscMaterial}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Grade" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Grade}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="SP" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=IsShipped}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="MM" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=IsMainMember}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Material Wt." DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=MaterialWeight}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Qty" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=MaterialQuantity}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Material Connection" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=MaterialConnections}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Length" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Length}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Width" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Width}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="PricePerPound" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=PricePerPound}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Unit Price" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=UnitPrice}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Shop Shorthand" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=ShopShorthand}"/>
                <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Labor Qty" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=LaborQuantity}"/>
                <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Shop Hours" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=ShopHours}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Field Shorthand" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=FieldShorthand}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Field Hours" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=FieldHours}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Det. Hours" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=DetailingHours}"/>
    <Controls:GridViewColumn HeaderText="Comments"/>     
   </Controls:RadGridView.Columns>
  </Controls:RadGridView>

Hello Sean Wright,

You can use the CellTemplate property of our columns to customize what elements are shown in a column. For example:

<telerikGrid:GridViewColumn Header="Name">
   <telerikGrid:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
       <DataTemplate>
           <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
               <Image Stretch="None"
                      Source="../../Images/User.png"
                      Margin="0,0,5,0" />
               <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"
                          VerticalAlignment="Center" />
           </StackPanel>
       </DataTemplate>
   </telerikGrid:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerikGrid:GridViewColumn>

Kind regards,

Hi Sean,

Did this example work out for you? I am trying to make a gridview for my website, using silverlight, that has a few columns as a text filed and let the users to input either a number or string of text. My problem is after input a string of text into the text field, those text won't stay there after i click anywhere inside the GridView
