Create Data template column at run time
posted

Hi,

I saw this Xaml code in this forum:

<igGrid:XamWebGrid Name="xamWebGrid1">
            <igGrid:XamWebGrid.Columns>
                <igGrid:TextColumn Key="Value1">
                    <igGrid:TextColumn.HeaderTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="1Some looooong text
      that should be split in multiline "
      TextWrapping="Wrap" Width="120"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </igGrid:TextColumn.HeaderTemplate>
                </igGrid:TextColumn>
                <igGrid:TextColumn Key="SomeLongPropertyNameThatWillBeWrappedInTheGridHeader">
                    <igGrid:TextColumn.HeaderTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
      TextWrapping="Wrap" Width="120"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </igGrid:TextColumn.HeaderTemplate>
                </igGrid:TextColumn>

            </igGrid:XamWebGrid.Columns>
        </igGrid:XamWebGrid>

 

I would like to convert to C# but I don't know how I can add/insert a datatemplate to hold the textblock.


xamWebGrid1.Columns.Add(new TextColumn()
                                {
                                    Key = "Value1",
                                    HeaderText = "SomeLongPropertyNameThatWillBeWrappedInTheGridHeader",
                                    Width = new ColumnWidth(85, false),
                                    IsReadOnly = false,
                                   
                                });

Can anyone help?  Thanks!

    Hi tangolp,

    You can set the HeaderTemplate for the TextColumn by using HeaderTemplate property of the TextColumn. So the code should look something like this:

    amWebGrid1.Columns.Add(new TextColumn()
                                    {
                                        Key = "Value1",
                                        HeaderText = "SomeLongPropertyNameThatWillBeWrappedInTheGridHeader",
                                        Width = new ColumnWidth(85, false),
                                        IsReadOnly = false,
                                        HeaderTemplate = YourDataTemplate
                                    });

    For the data template you have few options:

    • define DataTemplates that you are going to use in the resources of your page and access them at run time ( page.Resources[object key])
    • you could create the data template at runtime - check out this link for more details 
    • you can find another way to create your data template by checking out this thread
