Retrieving row index of selected check box in grid view cell template.

[Kaustubh Wadi]

Hello Telerik Team,
    I have a RadGridview in my Silverlight application. Also I have a column having combo box as cell template. Here is the XAML code snippet for that.

<grid:RadGridView x:Name="gridview" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="4"  RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed" IsReadOnly="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserFreezeColumns="False"  CanUserResizeColumns="False" Width="700">

           <grid:RadGridView.Columns>
               <grid:GridViewDataColumn x:Name="measuresCol"  Header="#" HeaderTextAlignment="Center"  Width="150" TextAlignment="Center" IsSortable="False"/>

               <grid:GridViewDataColumn x:Name="cbG1"  Header="Header1" IsSortable="False" TextAlignment="Center" HeaderTextAlignment="Center">
                   <grid:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <CheckBox IsChecked="false" />
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </grid:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
               </grid:GridViewDataColumn>
</grid:RadGridView.Columns>
           </grid:RadGridView>

I want the row index of the check box which is checked by the user. Please can anyone suggest me the solution to achieve this?

Many Thanks,
Kaustubh.

Hello Kaustubh Wadi,

You can use the ParentOfType<> extension method to find the GridViewRow. Then you can get its DataContext which is your business object. Finally, you can use gridView.Items.IndexOf(the_business_object) to get the index.

Hope this will get you started.

All the best,

Hello Kaustubh Wadi,

First. let me know when do you want to get the index of the row? Is it on clicking the checkbox?

Hello Veskoni,
    Yes, when a user will click on the check box, I want the row index of that check box. For that I am using the clicked event of check box. But I am not getting how to retrieve the row index.

Many Thanks,
Kaustubh.
