Hi Tgaud,

You can hook for RadGridView.CellValidating event and you can get the actual edit element from e.EditingElement property. At this time you can validate your custom template and set e.IsValid to true or false accordingly.
On the other hand you can validate entered data on a data layer. For more information you can take a look at this blog post.
In order to create custom template for editing you have to use GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate property. This approach is demonstrated with this online example.

I know that the examples are for Silverlight but they are valid for WPF too.

Hello, thanks for answering this.

You demonstrate how to have a template in a cell, but my problem is different.
My problem is :

How can I bind  two different object, in the same cell.

If I want, in the same cell, to Bind Both Checkbox and textbox

Thank you

Hello Tgaud,

DataContext of any cell within RadGridView is an instance of your business object. For example if RadGridView is bound to an ObservableCollection<Person>, DataContext of any cell will be an instance of Person class. Now let's assume that Person has two properties FirstName and IsMarried.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Complex column">
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <StackPanel>
                                <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsMarried, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                                <TextBox Text="{Binding FirstName, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                            </StackPanel>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

I hope this helps.

Yeah but it's two property of the same object... it's not two different object..
