I have "Preferences" data structure where I have string "Value" field and enum for "Type" field.
Type can be 0-Boolean, 1-Integer, 2-String ...
Depending on value in this Type field I'd like to display "Value" cell different way Checkbox, Textbox, dropdown, etc. So, to make it clear - same column should display different cells depending on data in that row..
I guess I need to employ DataGridTemplateColumn but I never did that and would like some example if possible.
Also, what can I do with XAML and what needs to be done in Code? I guess Value converter will have to be used as well?
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" >
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ContentControl x:Name="content" Content="{Binding}" >
</ContentControl>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ItemType}" Value="0">
<Setter TargetName="content" Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Value,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"></CheckBox>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ItemType}" Value="1">
<Setter TargetName="content" Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Value,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"></TextBox>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
In CodeBehind you have a ObservableCollection Items {get;set;}
public class SimpleClass
{
public TypeEnum ItemType{get;set;}
public object Value {get;set;}
}
