I want to edit the cell not its value but its background color. I know the rowIndex and the columnIndex. But to travese through the grid is a hard part. I just want something like
DataGrid.Rows[0][3].BackgroundColor=WhateverIWant
Even looping with the help of VisualTreeHelper will work, but kindly guide me through it.
Thanks
Use following method:
public static DataGridCell GetDataGridCell(DataGrid grid, int rowIndex, int colIndex)
{
DataGridCell result = null;
DataGridRow row = (DataGridRow)grid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(rowIndex);
if (row != null)
{
DataGridCellsPresenter presenter = GetFirstVisualChild<DataGridCellsPresenter>(row);
result = presenter.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(colIndex) as DataGridCell;
}
return result;
}
public static T GetFirstVisualChild<T>(DependencyObject depObj)
{
if (depObj != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(depObj); i++)
{
DependencyObject child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(depObj, i);
if (child != null && child is T)
{
return (T)child;
}
T childItem = GetFirstVisualChild(child);
if (childItem != null) return childItem;
}
}
return null;
}
You can also make it as extension method on DataGrid
