PivotGrid - Getting data from a cell (user click event)

[Ravin]

Hi,

 I have a user control with a RadPivotGrid, that has a MouseLeftButtonUp event to grab information for the current cell:

<UserControl ...>
    <Grid ...>
    <!-- ... //-->
    <pivot:RadPivotGrid x:Name="pivotGrid"  MouseLeftButtonUp="pivotGrid_MouseLeftButtonUp" ... />
    <!-- ... //-->
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

 In my *.cs file, I have the handler for the code:

private void pivotGrid_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    var clickedElement = e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;
    if (clickedElement == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    var cellData = clickedElement.DataContext as CellData;
    if (cellData == null)
    {
        return;
    }

    //var ColumnItem = cellData.ColumnItem as Telerik.Pivot.Core.ViewModels.GroupNode;
    var ColumnItem = cellData.ColumnItem;
    //...
}

If I put "(Telerik.Pivot.Core.ViewModels.GroupNode)cellData.ColumnItem" in the "Watch" tab of the Debugger in Visual Studio 2012, I can see the properties for that class, and write ((Telerik.Pivot.Core.ViewModels.GroupNode)cellData.ColumnItem).Group, which gives me the object I want back; but if I try to write the cast in method body, I get an error saying "The type or namespace name 'GroupNode' does not exist in the namespace 'Telerik.Pivot.Core.ViewModels' (are you missing an assembly reference?)". In my references, I have Telerik.Pivot.Core 2014.1.224.1050. I don't see any other Telerik.Pivot.Core dlls to include in the project in my installation folder.

 

Thanks

Hello Ravin,

GroupNode is an internal class that implements the IGroup interface. You would need to cast it to IGroup in order to get the needed object:

var ColumnItem = cellData.ColumnItem as Telerik.Pivot.Core.IGroup;

Hope this helps.
