[Solved] Double click row to open another page with ID column of grid as parameter

[Mark Davison]

Hi,

We have (a common) scenario where we want to display a grid of data and when the user double cliks a row / cell, we want to navigate to a detail page passing in the ID for the item.

I am struggling to find a way to do this simple task and I am hoping someone has done this and can point me in the right direction.

We have the grid rendering and populated with data. We would normally store the internal item id in a hidden column in the grid (IsVisible=False) but it then appears that this hidden column is not available in the internal list of the grids columns.

So, can anyone recommend how to store the internal item id's that we need and then how to access this id when the user double clicks on a row?

All / any help much appreciated!

Regards,

Mark

Hello Mark Davison,

You may take a look at this forum thread for a reference. However, in your case once you double-click on the row/cell, you need to get the underlaying item and set it as the DataContext of the DetailsPresenter. If you expose an ID property, you may still get it from the data item.
