Hi

I am using wpf grid view as shown below. 


 <telerik:RadGridView Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{Binding ExistingFilesCollection}" CanUserDeleteRows="False" CanUserFreezeColumns="False" CanUserGroupColumns="False" CanUserInsertRows="False" CanUserReorderColumns="False" CanUserSearch="False" ShowGroupPanel="False" IsFilteringAllowed="False" 
                             AutoGenerateColumns="False" SelectionMode="Extended"   Margin="0,10,0,0" GridLinesVisibility="Both" RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed">
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Selected, Mode=TwoWay}"  IsSortable="False">
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                        <StackPanel>
                            <CheckBox  IsChecked="{Binding DataContext.SelectAll, ElementName=ExistingFilePopUpRoot,Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
                        </StackPanel>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                    <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <CheckBox  IsChecked="{Binding Selected, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Grid},AncestorLevel=4}, Path=DataContext.CheckBoxEvent}" CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Grid},AncestorLevel=4}, Path=DataContext}"   />
                            
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
				  </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerik:RadGridView>

I don't want to use GridviewCheckboxcolumn or select column since it doesn't fit my requirement.

Now the issue is when I do databinding based on element name it fails but as shown above based on ancestor level it works.

Is there a way I can do command binding based on elementname?

Hello Onkar,

ElementName binding doesn't work outside of its namescope. In other words, in the common case you cannot access elements outside of the template where the ElementName binding is used. Using the RelativeSource is the way to go here. Or alternatively, you can try the x:Reference keyword instead of ElementName.
