How to retrieve TextBlock from DataGridColumnHeader HeaderStyle in Silverlight
- by Xin
As in Silverlight I can't bind directly to a DataGridColumn's property, in order to dynamically change the text of the column header, I have to write the following code using HeaderStyle.
<data:DataGridTextColumn.HeaderStyle>
<Style TargetType="dataprimitives:DataGridColumnHeader">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Resource.ClientName, Mode=OneWay}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</data:DataGridTextColumn.HeaderStyle>
</data:DataGridTextColumn>
My problem is that now I need to get the Name of the TextBlock from grid.Columns[index]. Is there any way I can do this? I tired to use VisualTreeHelper but since DataGridColumn is not a FrameworkElement it will throw me an error...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
