Cascading GridViewComboBoxColumns

[newbie]

I have 2 GridViewComboBoxColumns in my GridView.
The second GridViewComboBoxColumn's ItemsSource is a property of the selected item in the first GridViewComboBoxColumn.

How do I accomplish this in XAML?

Thanks!

Hi,

Did you check out this blog post for a reference ? Is there any difference between the settings in the approach demonstrated there and yours ? Do you want to achieve something similar ? What is the implementation of the business object you want to implement ?

Thank you for your reply.
I am unable to view that blog.
It must be the same one that I tried to view yesterday.
I keep getting a time out error with loading the page:

"The connection has timed out
The server at blogs.telerik.com is taking too long to respond."

I don't know if my requirements are different from the ones outlined in the blog because I can't view it.

Hello newbie,

I am sending you the sample project related to the blog post I was referring to.

Thank you.

I fixed my problem by using the GridViewComboBoxColumn's ItemsSourceBinding property.
Originally I was looking to do something like the following:

<ComboBox x:Name="MyListingOptions"
      ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource MyResource}, Path=Listings}"
      SelectedItem="{Binding Path=DataContext, ElementName=MyControlElement}"
      Width="100" FontSize="12">
    <ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Listing.Name}"></TextBlock>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
<StackPanel x:Name="MyControlElement">
  <!-- controls for displaying and manipulating my object/class -->
</StackPanel>

When you select an item in the ComboBox the DataContext of the "MyControlElement" is changed.
I was hoping to do the same thing within the telerik GridView but I think it's probably impossible since you can't refer to the ElementName of the GridViewComboBoxColumn...

Anyways, I was able to find a solution to my problem.

Thank you.
