How can I change the visibility of elements inside a DataTemplate when a row is selected in a Silver
- by miketrash
I'm using the MVVM pattern. I've bound my items and I want to only show the edit button when a row is selected in the datagrid. It appears to be possible with triggers in WPF but we don't have triggers in Silverlight. I tried a TemplatedParent binding but I'm not sure what the TemplatedParent is in this case. We don't have RelativeSource ancestor in Silverlight either. At this point I'm going to look at a solution using the code behind...
<data:DataGrid.Columns>
<data:DataGridTemplateColumn IsReadOnly="True" Header="Name" Width="300">
<data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<TextBlock x:Name="textBlock" Text="{Binding Name, Mode=OneWay}" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="4,4,0,4"/>
<Button Margin="1,1,4,1" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center" Padding="7,4" Content="Edit" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn>
</data:DataGrid.Columns>
