Generic styles for DataGridTemplateColumn Headers & Cells
- by user557765
I am struggling to define templates for my DataGrid columns. Here is the code that I have working at the moment:
<t:DataGrid.Columns>
<t:DataGridTemplateColumn Width="75" >
<t:DataGridTemplateColumn.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource FieldNameVertical}" Text="Date" />
</DataTemplate>
</t:DataGridTemplateColumn.HeaderTemplate>
<t:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource FieldValue}" Text="{Binding ModifiedDate, StringFormat='{}{0:MM/dd/yyyy}'}" />
</DataTemplate>
</t:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</t:DataGridTemplateColumn>
..
..
..
</t:DataGrid.Columns>
I would like to define HeaderTemplate & CellTemplate as reusable styles -- so that each column would be as brief as something like this:
<t:DataGrid.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="dgHeaderStyle">
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource FieldNameVertical}" Text="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="dgCellStyle">
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource FieldValue}" Text="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</t:DataGrid.Resources>
<t:DataGrid.Columns>
<t:DataGridTemplateColumn Width="75" Header="Date"
Binding="{Binding ModifiedDate, StringFormat='{}{0:MM/dd/yyyy}'}"
HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource dgHeaderStyle}" CellTemplate="{StaticResource dgCellStyle}" />
<t:DataGridTemplateColumn Width="100" Header="Dealer"
HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource dgHeaderStyle}" CellTemplate="{StaticResource dgCellStyle}" />
...
</t:DataGrid.Columns>
Every attempt I make has failed. I had hoped to implement something like the "solution" snippet in the initial entry of WPF DataGrid HeaderTemplate Mysterious Padding. However, I can't seem to adapt it to what I'm doing.
