Using CellStyle

[Amige]

Hello,

I have a RadGridView, it has 7 columns with boolean data. I want to disable each cell with a true value.

I created a style and a converter, I add the style at runtime using the grid DataLoaded event:

<Style x:Key="myCellStyle" TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewCell}">
            <Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Converter={StaticResource myConverter}}" />
        </Style>

public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

        {

            GridViewCell cell = (GridViewCell)value;

            if(cell.Value == null)
                return true;
            else
                return (bool)cell.Value;

        }

private void grid_DataLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn col in gridCheck.Columns)
            {
                    col.CellStyle = (Style)this.Resources["myCellStyle"];

            }
        }

In the converter I get a GridViewCell object in the value parameter, but the GridViewCell.Value property is always null.

How can I pass the value of the cell to the converter?

Thanks in advance,

Alberto

Hi Alberto,

In order to achieve the desired functionality, I can suggest you applying a CellStyleSelector instead. You can also check the CellStyleSelector online demo or the same one under the WPF Demos.

Hello Dimitrina thanks for the information.

I forgot to mention that I am using AutoGenerateColumns = true, in my example I mention that I had 7 columns but that can change, sometimes I could load more or less columns.

I would like to use the same style for all the columns and just check if the value of the cell (regardless the column) is true then disable the cell and viceversa.

Is there a way to accomplish that?

Thanks,

Alberto

Hi Alberto,

Since RadGridView supports UI virtualization, its rows/cells are reused on scrolling. That is why it is not recommended to work with the visual elements directly. You can check our online documentation on UI Virtualization for a further reference. An approach relying on the bound properties (through applying a CellStyleSelector) would be a reliable one if you keep the row virtualization enabled.

I'll check the documentation on UI Virtualization.

Thanks for your help.
