Hi

If there is an validation error on the editable cell, I set a style, in code, for that cell like so:-

    
             Private Sub gv1_PreviewValidate(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.Cells.CellValidatingRoutedEventArgs)  
        
                    If e.NewValue = String.Empty Then 
        
                        e.ValidationResult = New Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.ValidationResult(False, Nothing)  
        
                        DirectCast(DirectCast(e.OriginalSource, System.Object), Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewCell).Style = Me.FindResource("ContentControlStyleError")  
        
                    Else 
        
                        e.ValidationResult = New Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.ValidationResult(True, Nothing)  
        
                        DirectCast(DirectCast(e.OriginalSource, System.Object), Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewCell).Style = Nothing 
        
                    End If

and the style is

    
             <Style x:Key="ContentControlStyleError" TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewCell}">  
        
                        <Setter Property="Template">  
        
                            <Setter.Value> 
        
                                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}">  
        
                                    <Border Width="110" Height="55" BorderThickness="2,2,2,2" CornerRadius="10,10,10,10" BorderBrush="#FF000000" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">  
        
                                        <Border.RenderTransform> 
        
                                            <TransformGroup> 
        
                                                <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1"/>  
        
                                                <SkewTransform AngleX="0" AngleY="0"/>  
        
                                                <RotateTransform Angle="17.431"/>  
        
                                                <TranslateTransform X="0" Y="0"/>  
        
                                            </TransformGroup> 
        
                                        </Border.RenderTransform> 
        
                                        <Border.Background> 
        
                                            <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">  
        
                                                <GradientStop Color="#FF000000" Offset="0"/>  
        
                                                <GradientStop Color="#FFDC1D1D" Offset="1"/>  
        
                                            </LinearGradientBrush> 
        
                                        </Border.Background> 
        
                                        <ContentPresenter   
        
                                                    VerticalAlignment="Center"   
        
                                                    HorizontalAlignment="Right"   
        
                                                    Margin="0,0,10,0"   
        
                                                    TextBlock.Foreground="White"  /> 
        
                                    </Border> 
        
                                </ControlTemplate> 
        
                            </Setter.Value> 
        
                        </Setter> 
        
                    </Style>

now I know this style is awful, but it is the principle I am after.

When I set this style in code, the entire grid cells are no longer editable, also, if I scroll the grid so the offending cell is out of view, then scroll it back into view, the style has disappeared.

Any thoughts why this is happening?

Thanks

Hello Paul,

Each GridViewCell needs two content presenters, named PART_ContentPresenter and PART_EditorPresenter in order to properly display the cell editor and content. Your template did not contain those presenters, hence the problem. Since the validation mechanisms of RadGridView are currently limited, I prepared a small workaround that achieves your requirement (excuse me for my ugly UI :) Please, let me know if the attached application does not work for you.

Hello Paul,

Unfortunately we don't have a documentation article containing the list with all PART elements, grouped by class. However, I have a simple method that lists all controls with parts and their parts. I hope it helps:

public static void GetControlParts()
{
var controlsWithParts =
  from type in typeof(RadGridView).Assembly.GetTypes()
  let parts = type.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(TemplatePartAttribute), true).Cast<TemplatePartAttribute>()
  where parts.Count() > 0
  select new
       {
        type.Name,
        Parts = from part in parts
          select new { part.Name, part.Type }
       };

foreach (var control in controlsWithParts)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Control:" + control.Name);
  foreach (var part in control.Parts)
  {
   Console.WriteLine("Part: {0}:{1}", part.Name, part.Type.FullName);
  }

Console.WriteLine("*************************");
}
}

Sincerely yours,
