[Solved] Issue with CheckBox cell

[Carolyn]

I'm having an issue with a CheckBox in a RadGridView.  Using SL3 and RadSilverlight Q3 Beta controls.  When the loaded event is called for the CheckBox, the parent cell's value is null.  Am I doing something wrong here, or is this a legitimate issue?  Sample XAML and C# code below:

<telGrid:RadGridView x:Name="gvRoles"
            AutoGenerateColumns="False"
            Background="White"
            CanUserFreezeColumns="False"
            CanUserReorderColumns="False"
            ColumnsWidthMode="Auto"
            Grid.Row="0"
            GridLinesVisibility="None"
            IsFilteringAllowed="False"
            IsReadOnly="true"
            Margin="10 10 10 10"
            MultipleSelect="True"
            RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"
            ShowGroupPanel="False"
        >
            <telGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telGrid:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="">
                    <telGrid:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <CheckBox x:Name="cbRole" HorizontalAlignment="Center" IsChecked="False" Loaded="cbRole_Loaded" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telGrid:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telGrid:GridViewDataColumn>
            </telGrid:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telGrid:RadGridView>

private void cbRole_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            CheckBox checkBox = sender as CheckBox;
            GridViewCell parentCell = checkBox.Parent as GridViewCell;
        }

Hi Joe Dattilo,

You can try to use one of our extension methods to obtain the parent cell:

private void cbRole_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    CheckBox box = sender as CheckBox;
    var parentCell = box.ParentOfType<GridViewCell>();
}
