GridViewComboBoxColumn problem

[Steve]

I've been stumbling all over this all day and need some direction.  I've paired down my code and am posting it in hopes that someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
The xaml...

<telerik:RadGridView AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                        ItemsSource="{Binding Screens}">
    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        <telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn x:Name="ScreenTypeCombo"
                                        UniqueName="ScreenTypeCombo"
                                        Header="Screen Type"
                                        Width="150"
                                        DataMemberBinding="{Binding SelectedScreenType}"
                                        SelectedValueMemberPath="ScreenType"
                                        DisplayMemberPath="Literal"
                                        ItemsSourceBinding="{Binding ScreenTypeLiterals}" />
    </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

The ViewModel...

public enum ScreenTypes
{
    Master,
    Vertical,
    Multicolumn,
    Wrap,
    Detail,
    Transaction,
    Notes
}

public class ScreenTypeLiteral
{
    public ScreenTypes ScreenType
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public String Literal
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public ScreenTypeLiteral(ScreenTypes type, String lit)
    {
        ScreenType = type;
        Literal = lit;
    }
}

public class ScreenDescriptor
{
    public ICollectionView ScreenTypeLiterals
    {
        get
        {
            return _ScreenTypeLiterals;
        }
        set
        {
            _ScreenTypeLiterals = value;
            OnPropertyChanged(() => ScreenTypeLiterals);
        }
    }
    private ICollectionView _ScreenTypeLiterals;

    public ScreenTypeLiteral SelectedScreenType
    {
        get
        {
            return ScreenTypeLiterals.CurrentItem as ScreenTypeLiteral;
        }
    }

    public ScreenDescriptor()
    {
        ScreenTypeLiterals = CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(new List<ScreenTypeLiteral>()
        {
            {new ScreenTypeLiteral(ScreenTypes.Master, "Master View")},
            {new ScreenTypeLiteral(ScreenTypes.Vertical, "Detail View")},
        });
        ScreenTypeLiterals.MoveCurrentToFirst();
    }

}

public class Descriptor
{
    public ICollectionView Screens
    {
        get
        {
            return _screens;
        }
        set
        {
            _screens = value;
            OnPropertyChanged(() => Screens);
        }
    }
    private ICollectionView _screens = null;

    public Descriptor()
    {
        var list = new List<ScreenDescriptor>();
        list.Add(new ScreenDescriptor());
        list.Add(new ScreenDescriptor());

        Screens = CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(list);
        Screens.MoveCurrentToFirst();
    }

}

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Hello,

I would suggest you to read through the online documentation on how to configure the GridViewComboBoxColumn properly.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

I have read the documentation and searched the forums, and as far as I can see, I am doing everything correctly; however no data is displayed, and the ComboBox is not even displayed.  See the attached file and please review the code I posted.  If you need further information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Steve

Hello,

Please note that the source set for the ItemsSourceBinding should be a property of the business object the grid row is bound to. Looking at the provided source code, this is correct. Then the DataMemberBinding is set to SelectedScreenType which is set to ScreenTypeLiterals.CurrentItem. Is there a value set for the ScreenTypeLiterals.CurrentItem?

Hi Didie,
Your response caused me to look again at how the DataMemberBinding was assigned and I found two things that were a problem.  First, the type of the property should have been ScreenTypeLiteral.ScreenType.  The second, and I'm not sure why was returning the CurrentItem of the collection.  By creating a field behind the SelectedScreenType of ScreenTypeLiteral.ScreenType and assigning the CurrentItem to it on the ICollectionView.CurrentChanged event, all work correctly.  My suspicion is the the second problem my have something to do with the absence of the IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem property on the ComboBoxColumn.
Thanks for your help,
Steve
