WPF DataGrid binding to UserControl
- by Trindaz
I have a DataGrid with one column using a UserControl via a styled DataGridTemplateColumn. I can't seem to get the UserControl to 'see' the object that is in it's containing DataGridCell though. What kind of bindings can I create on the TextBox in my UserControl so that it can look up and see that object?!
My UserControl and TemplateColumn Style are defined as:
<Window.Resources>
<local:UCTest x:Key="UCTest" />
<Style x:Key="TestStyle" TargetType="{x:Type WpfToolkit:DataGridCell}">
<Style.Setters>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type WpfToolkit:DataGridCell}">
<Grid Background="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Converter={StaticResource drc}, Path=DataContext}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<local:UCTest />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style.Setters>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
and my sample DataGrid is defined as:
<WpfToolkit:DataGrid
Name="dgSampleData"
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
AutoGenerateColumns="True"
Margin="0,75,0,0">
<WpfToolkit:DataGrid.Columns>
<WpfToolkit:DataGridTemplateColumn
Header="Col2"
CellStyle="{StaticResource TestStyle}"
/>
</WpfToolkit:DataGrid.Columns>
</WpfToolkit:DataGrid>
and my User Control is defined in a separate file as:
<UserControl x:Class="UCTest"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Width="104" Height="51">
<UserControl.Resources>
<local:DataRowConverter x:Key="drc" />
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
<TextBox Margin="12,12,-155,16" Name="TextBox1" Text="" />
</Grid>
EDIT:
My implementation of TestClass, which has the Test Property, which I want UCTest.TextBox1 to bind do:
Public Class TestClass
Private _Test As String = "Hello World Property!"
Public Property Test() As String
Get
Return _Test
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_Test = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
Thanks in advance!
