[Solved] Button in Group Header Row

[Terry Foster]

Hi,

I see your demo where you can customize the content of a group header row by setting the GroupHeaderTemplate property, which is great.  However, I need to add a button as part of the content, but when I bind the Command property of the button to a property of my view model, nothing gets hooked up.  I'm assuming this is because my view model is not the data context for the group header row.  Can you provide an explanation of how I can handle a button click through command binding?

Thanks,
Terry

Hello Terry Foster,

The DataContext of the GroupRow is the GroupViewModel. If you want a button defined in the GroupHeaderTemplate to invoke a command from your ViewModel, you may set this ViewModel in the Resource section and use it as a StaricResource afterwards:

<UserControl.Resources>

    <my:MyViewModel x:Key="MyViewModel"/>

</UserControl.Resources>

 

 

<telerik:RadGridView.GroupHeaderTemplate>

 <DataTemplate>

    <telerik:RadButton Content="click me" Command="{Binding MyCommand, Source={StaticResource MyViewModel}}" />

 </DataTemplate>
</telerik:RadGridView.GroupHeaderTemplate>

Kind regards,
