How can I bind Wpf DataGridColumn to an object?
- by John
I want to bind the columns of my WPF DataGrid to some objects in a Dictionary like this:
Binding Path=Objects[i]
where Objects is my Dictionary of objects, so that each cell will represent an Object element. How can I do that?
I suppose that I need to create a template for my cell, which I did, but how to get the result of column binding in my template? I know that by default the content of a DataGridCell is a TextBlock and it's Text property is set through column binding result, but if that result is an object I guess that I have to create a ContentTemplate. How do I do that, as the stuff I tried is not displaying anything.
Here it is what I tried:
<Style x:Key="CellStyle" TargetType="{x:Type dg:DataGridCell}">
<Setter Property="Template"> ---it should realy be ContentTemplate?
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<controls:DataGridCellControl CurrentObject="{Binding }"/> -- I would expect to get the object like this for this column path : Path=Objects[i] but is not working
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
So, to make myself completly clear, i want to get in CurrentObject property of my DataGridCellControl the current object that should result if I set the column binding in my data grid like this Path=Objects[i].
Thank you for any suggestion,
John.
