Binding IsReadOnly using IValueConverter
- by mastur cheef
Maybe I'm misunderstanding how to use an IValueConverter or data binding (which is likely), but I am currently trying to set the IsReadOnly property of a DataGridTextColumn depending on the value of a string. Here is the XAML:
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=GroupDescription}" Header="Name"
IsReadOnly="{Binding Current,
Converter={StaticResource currentConverter}}"/>
And here is my converter:
public class CurrentConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
string s = value as string;
if (s == "Current")
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}
Currently, the column is always editable, the converter seems to do nothing. Does anyone have some thoughts as to why this is happening?
