Urgent-- can not find combobox in gridview cell

[m]

I have spent a few hours trying to figure out how to find a combobox in myWPF Gridview cell. I need to find it after gridview row is bound. There are no examples out there. It needs to happen in code behind Can anybody help? This is really driving me nuts.

Hello m,

 In general it is not a recommended practice to deal with the visual elements(i.e. to find them in the visual tree of the RadGridView).

 It depends on what your purpose is, but basically it would be more appropriate to use GridViewComboBoxColumn, instead of adding a combo box inside GridViewDataColumn. 

In code behind you could find the GridViewComboBoxColumn in CellLoaded event of the grid:

private void playersGrid_CellLoaded(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.CellEventArgs e)
{

       if (e.Cell.DataColumn is GridViewComboBoxColumn)

       {

            GridViewComboBoxColumn column = e.Cell.DataColumn as GridViewComboBoxColumn;

       }

}

If this suggestion is not appropriate in your project, could you please share with us some additional information regarding:
- why your scenario requires finding the ComboBox in WPF GridView cell(what is your purpose)?
- how you have defined the ComboBox in your xaml?

Kind regards,
Didie
