[Solved] RadDataForm DataTemplate ComboBox

[Alex]

I had an auto-generated RadDataForm but need to rearrange some of the fields and don't have access to the objects to put "Order=#"...

So I made a DataTemplate, but my combobox is not pulling in the enums that it should in the last combobox. How can I make it retrieve the enums like when it is auto-generated?

public enum CCTypes : int {

         VISA = 1,

         AmericanExpress = 2,

         MasterCard = 3,

         Discover = 4,
   }

<DataTemplate x:Key="BInfoDataFormTemplate">
        <StackPanel>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <telerik:DataFormDataField x:Name="firstName" DataMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName, Mode=TwoWay}"
                    Label="First Name" IsRequired="True" Width="300" />
            </StackPanel>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Width="300">
                <telerik:DataFormDataField x:Name="lastName" DataMemberBinding="{Binding LastName, Mode=TwoWay}"

Hello Alex,

You may utilize the Telerik EnumDataSource like follows:

//C#:
((EnumDataSource)this.LayoutRoot.Resources["MyEnumSource"]).EnumType = typeof(Position);

//XAML:
<telerik:EnumDataSource x:Name="MyEnumSource"  />
<telerik:DataFormComboBoxField DataMemberBinding="{Binding Position, Mode=TwoWay}"
                                                       SelectedValuePath="Value"
                                                       ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource MyEnumSource}}"
                                                       Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Label="Position" />

I am sending you a sample project illustrating the suggested approach. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
On the other hand, you may still set the order of the data fields in the AutogeneratingField event:

private void playersDataForm_AutoGeneratingField(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm.AutoGeneratingFieldEventArgs e)
        {
            if(e.PropertyName == "Name")
            {
                e.Order = 3;
            }
        }
