Button or Link Column for Silverlight GridView

[mark]

I tried searching the web and forums, but I can't find much on how to add a button or link column to the gridview for Silverlight control.  Does anyone have sample code?  xaml sample would be great?  I am trying to let the user click a button or link to delete a row in the grid.  I'm still new to Silverlight and the Telerik controls so forgive me if this is a stupid question.

thanks

Hello mark,

You can use CellTemplate property of GridViewColumn/GridViewDataColumn. Please check this demo for more info:
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#GridView/CellEditTemplate

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}">
  <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
       <Button Content="Delete" />
     </DataTemplate>
   </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Thank you very much for the response.  That is what I was looking for.  Although, when I tried to implement it, there was no CellTemplate object on the GridViewDataColumn object.  The intellisense is working, but I do not see that object.  Am I missing something?  Here is my namespace declaration:

xmlns

 

:telerikGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

 

Here is my entire namespace definition just as an FYI:

<

 

UserControl xmlns:telerikMedia="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.MediaPlayer"

 

 

xmlns:expressionLight="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Theming;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Theming.ExpressionLight"
xmlns:shinyBlue="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Theming;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Theming.ShinyBlue" xmlns:bureauBlack="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Theming;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Theming.BureauBlack" xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"

 

 

xmlns:telerikGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

 

 

xmlns:basics="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"

 

 

x:Class="ApprovedTitlesControl.Page" Background="Black"

 

 

xmlns:telerikNavigation="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation"

Thanks

No, I currently have the trial software.  I am building a prototype for my managers to prove that we can accomplish with Silverlight(and hopefully your controls) what we need to accomplish over the web.  I think the prototype so far has proven what we need to, so hopefully we will buy your controls in the next few days.  As long as I know that this is functional in the newer builds, that should be good enough.  Thanks for your help on this.

hi there...I can get the delete button to appear in the column now, but when it gets clicked, I'm not sure how to get the id of the item that is bound to that row.  Do you have any sample code for that(or just an explanation).  I'm sure it's something simple, but I am having difficulty figuring it out.  I am binding a List<Customer> to the grid.

thanks again.

Hi mark,

You can get the row using our extension methods and the row DataContext is your business object:

GridViewRow row = ((Button)sender).ParentOfType<GridVIewRow>();
if(row != null)
{
    Customer c = (Customer)row.DataContext;
}

I am using SL3 and the respective Telerik controls.
I have the following namespaces in the xaml.

 

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data"
xmlns:telerikGrid="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

I am not able to see CellTemplate under GridViewColumn or GridViewDataColumn. I see CellStyle, but that is not what I am looking for. What am I missing here?

Hi,

I am using SL 4 with RadGridView but I could not find you extension method ParentOfType<T>

Did you remove it ?

Thank you !

Vlad:

That template really doesn't seem to quite do what it needs to.  I find that when I select the row, I can see an edit box behind the button, and if I click on it, the row goes into edit mode and I can type into that box.  How do I put a button in the grid and disable editing for that cell?
(I tried setting IsReadOnly = true for the column, but when I did that, I did not get button clicks)
