filter cartesianchart based on datagrid filter?

[mark]

I'm using a datagrid bound to an observablecollection. I'd like to add a cartesianchart, that mirrors the datagrid.

Any filtering applied to the datagrid should also be applied to the chart.

How do I do this?

Hello Mark,

The DataGrid is not going to manipulate the original data source (in your case an ObservableCollection), instead these operations occur on the DataView. You can get the currently filter/sorted/grouped data from the DataGrid by using the DataView.

Once you have the DataView, you can then populate external things, like a chart.

Properties

• IsDataReady: Determines whether all the internal data operations are completed and the view may be properly accessed.
• Items: Gets the top-level items within the view. These might be either IDataGroup instances or data items if no grouping is applied.

The code snippets on this page will use a variable which will hold the current View of the DataGrid:

IDataView currentView = this.grid.GetDataView();
