Force a cell to use the StyleSelector

[CB]

Hi,

I've created a new type column by inheriting from GridViewBoundColumnBase and it's using a StyleSelector.

Is there a way to force a cell to call it's style selector for refresh it's style base on some external (from the grid) action ?

I need to change the color of the cell even if it's content hasn't changed at all.

Hello Jean-François,

One way to do that is to call the Rebind method of the grid. Another approach would be to raise a fake property changed event on the respective data item.

What I need, is for the cell to change it's background color (with a different style) based on a second binding. 

My problem is that I need to make sure it calls the style selector when that second binding changes, not the main binding.

I would like to avoid rebinding the whole grid when that happens !

Could I inherit from GridViewCell to control the refresh or make the cell depend on more than one binding ? If I can, how can I inject the new cell type ?

So, is there anyway to do it ?

Hello Jean-François,

As Milan wrote earlier , you will need to raise a fake "NotifyPropertyChanged" event on your business object.
This event will trigger refresh only for the item , not for the whole grid view.
I believe this is as close as we can get.
