Customising HeaderTemplate

[Chris]

Hi,

I have added some custom commands to my RadPane's HeaderTemplate and TitleTemplate as follows:

<telerikSchema:RadMenuItem CommandTarget="{Binding}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" Command="DashboardCommands:DashboardContentCommands.DeleteContentCommand" Header="{Binding Command.Text, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />

The DataContext for each Pane is being set programmatically to a business object and when the commands above fire I would like the business object passed as the CommandParameter. However the CommandParamter is always passed as the string value that the Title or Header property is being set to. I am binding the Header and Title properties to the relevant business object property programatically as follows:

pane.SetBinding(RadPane.HeaderProperty, new Binding() { Source = contentItem, Path = new PropertyPath("ContentName") });
pane.SetBinding(RadPane.TitleProperty, new Binding() { Source = contentItem, Path = new PropertyPath("ContentName") });

Any ideas how I can get the CommandParameter to pass the DataContext of the parent RadPane as opposed to the value of ContentName?

Regards,
Chris

Hello Chris,

Thank you for reporting this, it helps us in improving our products. The Title property is type of string with the current implementation of RadPane. We will consider changing it to object type in our of our future releases. This will resolve the problem you have with the data binding. You can track its progress in our Public Issue Tracking System (PITS) with Issue ID = 3603.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further information.

Kind regards,
George
