Create an expression based on an existing ExpressionColumn

[YBOT]

I have a RadGrid that is bound to a ObservableCollection<Customer>. Users can click the RadGrid rows and create an ExpressionColumn using ExpressionEditor. I set ExpressionEditor.Item like:

RadExpressionEditor expressionEditor = new RadExpressionEditor();
expressionEditor.Item = this.myRadGrid.SelectedItem;

 

Users can create an expression like 'Customer.BankBalance + 100' and it gets added to the RadGrid:

 

private GridViewExpressionColumn expressionColumn = new GridViewExpressionColumn();

this.expressionColumn.Expression = expressionEditor.Expression;
this.expressionColumn.Header = "Test";
if (!this.myRadGrid.Columns.Contains(this.expressionColumn))
{
     this.myRadGrid.Columns.Add(this.expressionColumn);
}

How can I now use the newly created "Test" expression column in another ExpressionColumn by repeating the process the user has just done? So they would select a row but the "Test" column is now available to use in the ExpressionEditor and they could do an expression like "Test + 100".

Hello Toby,

I am not sure that I understand your requirement. Can you send over runnable code snippets or a project that illustrates the exact setup and how, and when to user creates the column? Also, few pictures showing the current and expected result will be useful.

How can I send you a demo project?

Hello Toby,

If you can send runnable code snippets that can be used to assemble a runnable project I can check them on my side. Otherwise, you can use the support ticketing system in order to submit a ticket from your telerik.com account. There you can attach a .zip file with the project.
