[Solved] Conditional DynamicHyperlink Column

[John]

Hi there,

I am wondering if it is possible to use the DynamicHyperlinkColumn in such a way that a flag can be set indicating whether or not the text displayed in the field should actually be a hyperlink or just static text.

For some context - I am implementing a grid view to display the daily status of a number of items.  Each of these items contains a reference to a file. If that reference (defined as an int?) is null, then the file has not been processed for the current day and I want the text in the Dynamic Hyperlink Column to display as static text, not a link.  In the case that the reference is not null, I would like the hyperlink to be displayed.

I have no problem with setting the backend hyperlink portions of the cell, just with getting the text to display as static.


Thanks,

John

Hi John,
I will suggest a bit different approach .  You may use a regular column, instead of hyperlink column.
Then you will need to provide two separate DataTemplates to be usedfor the cell - one with hyperlink and one with a plain text.

The conditional switching between these two templates may be achieved by a the approach demonstrated in this online example.

In case you find troubles implementing this, do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks for the idea.  I did read through the code, I only had one question where the demo code is concerned - where is the condtion converter defined - I did not see it in either the backend or defined on the page.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

 Please download our demos to check this. The converter is not in the demo folder and that is why our code viewer cannot display it.

All the best,
