Change CellTemplate and CellEditTemplate based on content of another column

[Ujjwal Lahoti]

I want to change the CellTemplate and CellEditTemplate of GridViewDataColumn, based on the value of another column.

eg. If Column A has drop down box, with two entries: TextBlock and ComboBox. Based on the selection of column A, I want the column B to have that control.

If you can provide me some sample code that accomplishes this it would be very useful.

Hello Ujjwal Lahoti,

I am attaching you a sample project with the scenario you need. It is implemented with IValueConverter  In the example the third column depends on the property "CountryID" and  it is either ComboBox or TextBlock.
This scenario is applicable for both Silverlight and WPF. You may accomplish the same result with DataTriggers, but it is only for WPF. 

I hope this helps. 

All the best,

Hi Maya,
A very good sample code. I am using only WPF and I just want to change the CellEditTemplate based on the data of the same cell. Can you please show me how I can do this with DataTriggers.
Thanks,
Ramin

Hello Ramin,

In order to offer you a proper solution, I would need a bit more information about your exact requirements. What would be the element inside the CellEditTemplate - TextBox, TextBlock, ComboBox, etc. ? Is it not appropriate for your case to define CellEditTemplate for every specific column ?
