Contextmenu bind to selected value of RadGridView Combobox

[Marcel]

Hello,

 

I am working on a gridview with a contextmenu.

For the comboboxes in the gridview I want to add an additional menuitem (beside Add/Delete etc.). In that case I want to do a search on the item thats currently selected in the combobox. I wired up the command to it which works fine, I am now stuck with getting the selected value from the combobox.

I want to use this value to show in my contextmenu, for example "Search Item X", where Item X is the name of the selected item in the combobox, I also want to pass the selected item to my command so I can do the actual search.

I created the code below, but I am getting a binding error stating that SelectedValue can not be found on the GridViewCell. How do I bind to the combobox inside the cell?

<ContextMenu x:Key="frsvGridComboContextMenuArtikelGroep" DataContext="{Binding PlacementTarget.DataContext, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">

    <!-- Search menu-item-->
    <MenuItem CommandParameter="{Binding Parent.PlacementTarget.SelectedValue, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
            Command="{Binding DataContext.SearchArtikelGroepCommand, Source={StaticResource subViewSpy}}" DataContext="{Binding}">
        <MenuItem.Icon>
            <Image Source="/Resources.Icons;Component/16x16/search16.png"/>
        </MenuItem.Icon>
        <MenuItem.Header>
            <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource frsvSelectedValueToStringMultiValueConverter}">
                <Binding>
                    <Binding.Source>
                        <sys:String>Filter op</sys:String>
                    </Binding.Source>
                </Binding>
                <Binding Path="PlacementTarget.Text"
        RelativeSource="{RelativeSource  AncestorType=ContextMenu}" />
                <Binding>
                    <Binding.Source>
                        <sys:String>...</sys:String>
                    </Binding.Source>
                </Binding>
            </MultiBinding>
        </MenuItem.Header>
    </MenuItem>
</ContextMenu>

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Already found a solution, need to bind to Parent.PlacementTarget.Content and then with a converter was able to retrieve the selected item and text from it.

Hello Marcel,

I am really glad to see that you were able to resolve the issue.
Still, as an alternative solution, you can take a look at the attached sample project which I prepared.
