How to acces a DatePicker in a Grid

[Juan Camilo zapata]

Hi, i have the following code, and what I want is that RadDatePicker "picker" is accessible from the code. Try typing in code, picker and does not recognize it, if can help me to give some properties to the DatePicker. I have a grid, and there declare an datepicker for a date, I do so because I have a template for the datepicker.

Thank you very Much

<telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="Date"  >
                    <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Date}" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                    <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <telerik:RadDatePicker x:Name="picker" DayTemplate="{x:Null}" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
</telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>

Hi Juan Camilo zapata,

The CellEditTemplate property is of DataTemplate type. This means that every control placed in DataTemplate appears in different visual tree then the main one. That's why there is now way to access any controls placed in it(DataTemplate).

Hi Kaloyan, the truth did not quite understand your reply. You said "That's why there is now way to access any controls placed in it", or what you meant was "That's why there is no way to access any controls placed in it". If is can be done, can guide me how to do it.

Thanks

Hello Juan Camilo zapata,

What i mean is  that the Silverlight runtime will not recognize the element with x:Name placed inside the DataTemplate. This is due to the framework restriction. Nonetheless you can obtain a reference to the element using the VisualTreeHelper. Find the posted link with a demonstration of this approach.
