Bind Font Size of HeaderCellStyle

[Torsten]

Hi,

I currently have a problem applying a bound size to the HeaderCellStyle.FontSize

Our operators have the possibility to set the text size to what they need.

I would like to have it bound like the FontSize for the GridCells in the following code snippet:

 

FontSize="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type lisaGridControl:LisaGridControl}}, Path=SettingsModel.GeneralSettings.FontSize, Mode=TwoWay}"

 

 

The proplem is that I can only find static solutions like:

<Style x:Key="GridHeaderCellStyle" TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewHeaderCell}">
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16" />
    <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal" />
    <Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Normal" />
</Style>

 

Additionally my columns are created in code behind and I have no column definition in xaml.

For example the DisplayText for the header is bound as follows:

var bindingHeader = new Binding("DisplayText") { Source = column, ValidatesOnDataErrors = false, Mode = BindingMode.OneWay };
 if (column.GridColumn == null)
{
 throw new Exception("column.GridColumn(" + column.DisplayText + ")==null");
}

column.GridColumn.SetBinding(GridViewColumn.HeaderProperty, bindingHeader);

 

Thanks for any suggestions

 

Best regards

Hello Torsten,

In general, the DataContext of the column header is not the same as the DataContext of the column and needs to be set explicitly. For example, if you define an integer property named "FontSize" in your view model, you can set the Source property in the Binding of the header cell as follows.

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewHeaderCell">
    <Setter Property="FontSize"
            Value="{Binding FontSize, Source={StaticResource MyViewModel}}"/>
</Style>
