Problem to open external link in GridView

[Pierre]

Hello,

I need some help. I have a gridview with three columns. 
In the first, the document name & In the second and the third, a hyperlink. 
I would like on the "click" of the line (so the SelectedChanged),open a document externally, the while keeping my selected row in my GridView. 

Initially, I used a Hyperlink to my document name. It worked but I didn't keep the selected row.
And when I had a hundred lines, I didn't know that I had just opened (where the interest of keeping my line selected on opening an external link).

Do you have an idea for my problem to open external link on the SelectedChanged ?

Thank you ;)

Hello,

 You could define a CellTemplate for your column. In the CellTemplate use a HyperlinkButton and subscribe for its Click event. Once the event is raised you can handle the Selection programmatic.
For example:

private void HyperlinkButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            GridViewRow parentRow = ((HyperlinkButton)sender).ParentOfType<GridViewRow>();
            parentRow.IsSelected = true;
        }

Hello,

Thanks for your idea but it doesn't work..
In fact, I have an error : " ParentOfType isn't a member of System.Windows.Controls.HyperlinkButton "

This is my code :

Dim parentRow As GridViewRow = DirectCast(sender, HyperlinkButton).ParentOfType(Of GridViewRow)()
parentRow.IsSelected = True

I tried to remplaced "GridViewRow" by "GridViewCell".. but with no succes..

Dim parentRow As GridViewCell = DirectCast(sender, HyperlinkButton).Parent
parentRow.IsSelected = True

An other idea, please :) ?

Hello,

 You need to add Telerik.Windows.Controls namespace in your usings to use these extension methods.
