Advance Empty ComboBox cells

[Minh]

I used this method to fix the empty combo box

 

http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radgridview/troubleshooting/blank-cells.html

 

I have a Usercontrol called relationship that uses that fix. 

At the moment I have to create 4 different UserControls because each is pointing to a different viewmodel. Is there a way to have it dynamic so it can point to any.

<UserControl.Resources>
    <local:MainPageViewModel1 x:Key="mainPageViewModel1" />
    <local:MainPageViewModel2 x:Key="mainPageViewModel2" />
    <local:MainPageViewModel3 x:Key="mainPageViewModel3" />
</UserControl.Resources>
...
<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn Header="Category"
        DataMemberBinding="{Binding CategoryID}"
        ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Categories, Source={StaticResource CHOOSE CORRECT VM}}"
        DisplayMemberPath="CategoryName"
        SelectedValueMemberPath="CategoryID" />

Hello Minh,

You should be able to define the same binding of the ItemsSource property at runtime through the BindingOperations class. For example, if we assume that there is a Countries property defined in the view model, and the GridViewComboBoxColumn's UniqueName is Country, you can use an approach as follows.

Binding comboBinding = new Binding("Countries") { Source = new MyViewModel() };
BindingOperations.SetBinding(((GridViewComboBoxColumn)this.pilotsGrid.Columns["Country"]),
    GridViewComboBoxColumn.ItemsSourceProperty, comboBinding);

Hope this helps.

Hi Stefan,

So how would I apply this fix if the ItemsSource were to cascade?

Hi Minh,

If I am understanding your requirement correctly, you can reuse the approach suggested in my previous post by, simply passing the selected item from the DataGrid as a string for the binding.

private void BindComboBox(string propertyName)
{
    Binding comboBinding = new Binding(propertyName) { Source = new MyViewModel() };
    BindingOperations.SetBinding(((GridViewComboBoxColumn)this.pilotsGrid.Columns["Country"]),
        GridViewComboBoxColumn.ItemsSourceProperty, comboBinding);
}

Can you please clarify whether this suits your needs or I am missing something?
