DataFormDataField width

[Johannes]

I want to change the width of the label part of DataFormDataField. The correct place to edit should be the controls ControlTemplate:

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
  <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/><!-- Label -->
  <ColumnDefinition Width="2*"/><!-- Editor -->
  <ColumnDefinition Width="24"/><!-- ? Icon -->
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

 

 I want this to be something like: 

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
  <ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding LabelWidth}" /><!-- LabelWidth = Attached property? -->
  <ColumnDefinition Width="2*"/>
  <ColumnDefinition Width="24"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

 

The width should not be a fix value in the ControlTemplate. It should be variable so different DataForms can have different label widths. Is that possible?

Hi Johannes,

A possible way to achieve such customization is to create a custom DataFormDataField by overriding the default one. Such approach is discussed in the Label customization in DataFormXField forum thread.

Please give it a try and let me know if you need further assistance.
