[Solved] DataGrid Questions

[Silly]

I had 2 questions with regard to DataGrid
1) Is it possible to click on different columns on a grid to get different details?
   As an example in the myTweets demo, if I click on the name, the details of the author should be displayed.
   If I click on the Tweet, I would like a RADEditor to pop up.
2) Is there a way to disable showing "Drag a column Header..."

Thanks

Sally

Hello Pavel,

Thank you so much for putting together a sample for me. I really am grateful for that. But the behavior does not seem to be consistent. Initially when I tried, the 1st and the last row, always displayed the Name, while the other rows worked properly. Now it seems that the rows alternate between displaying the ID and Name, regardless of what is being clicked. Is this a known issue?

Specifically, can you tell me as how I control them. For instanct, is there an OnClick, or OnDoubleClick method that I can associate with the cell/row/header etc.

Also, what method you used to disable showing "Drag a column Header..."

Thanks

Sally

Thanks so much Pavel for the demo that you put together. But I am having problems with the demo. The behavior is not consistent. Somethimes, the ID is displayed, sometimes Name, but not at any time on a row only ID or Name is displayed. ie if I click on ID also, ID is displayed, and if I click on Name also ID is displayed. On other row, if I click on ID also Name is displayed, and if I click on Name also Name is displayed. So it is not very consistent.

What I don't understand is how are these events bound to the cells. For example I don't see any binding of OnClick event to these cells.

Also, when you disabled showing "Drag a column Header..." I don't see anywhere in the code where you explicitly did it.

I am sorry, but I am relatively new to WCF and Silverlight. So I apologize if my questions are trivlail.

Hi Sally,

I have changed  the example slightly.

The event used now is RadGridView.RowDetailsVisibilityChanged
It gets fired always when row details are shown or hidden.

Here is how we get which cell was clicked by the user :

private void RadGridView1_RowDetailsVisibilityChanged(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewRowDetailsEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Visibility == Visibility.Visible)
            {
                var cellSelected = ((RadGridView)sender).CurrentCell;
                e.DetailsElement.DataContext = cellSelected.Value;
            }
        }

About your second quiestion - we hide the "Drag ....." text with the following piece of XAML :

ShowGroupPanel = "false"

you can also do this in code behind :

this.RadGridView1.ShowGroupPanel = false;
