GridViewCell ContentStringFormat

[Ivano]

I have to format numbers to a user defined precision; I created a binding to a property where precision is stored:

            Binding precisionBinding;
            precisionBinding = new Binding("Item.Format[" + column.UniqueName + "].Precision");
            precisionBinding.Mode = BindingMode.OneWay;
            precisionBinding.Converter = new PrecisionConverter();

and set CellStyle:

            cellStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(GridViewCell.ContentStringFormatProperty, precisionBinding));

but format returned by PrecisionConverter() is ignored at all.
Thanks

Hello Ivano,

 Why don't you try to set the DataFormatString property of the GridViewDataColumn containing the cell to the user-selected precision?

Hi
as far as I know DataFormatString on GridViewDataColumn set string format for all column cells (already done and it works) but I need to set a different precision on some cells.

Thanks
Ivano

Hello Ivano,

 The ContentStringFormat property is inherited from ContentControl and we do not use it internally, except for GridViewHeaderCell. However, you can use the CellTemplateSelector property of GridViewColumn to set a custom string format for each cell. You can learn more about DataTemplate selector here.

We will study your scenario and consider using the ContentStringFormat for GridViewCell.
