XamGrid Button in column purely through c#
posted

I am creating an xamgrid in c#, there's no xaml at all. How can I add a button to a column purely through c#?  Or even hyperlinked text if this is easier? Please be explicit about every small detail as I'm new to this!

Basically I am creating multiple grids with dynamic columns based on a set of configuration data so I have done everything in c# to create/build/bind grid. I have seen examples for creating data templates in xaml with button controsl within them, but cannot work out how to do this from c#.

Thanks.

    Hi, 

    Basically you'd have to use a xamlReader to read in your DataTempate:

    As for actually executing code on the Button, i'd recommend using a custom RowCommand

     

     

    public class MyCommandSource : CommandSource

        {

            protected override ICommand ResolveCommand()

            {

                return new MyCommand();

            }

        }

     

        public class MyCommand : RowCommandBase

        {

            protected override void ExecuteCommand(Row row)

            {

                //YourData obj = (YourData)row.Data;

                // perform action.

            }

        }

     

      TemplateColumn tc = new TemplateColumn();

                tc.Key = "Title";

                tc.ItemTemplate = this.GetTemplate();

                grid.Columns.Add(tc);

     

     public DataTemplate GetTemplate()

            {

                string template = @"<DataTemplate

                xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007""

                xmlns:ig=""http://schemas.infragistics.com/xaml""

                xmlns:local=""clr-namespace:XamGridApp_10._3;assembly=XamGridApp_10.3"">

                <Button Content=""Click Me"">

                                    <ig:Commanding.Command>

                                        <local:MyCommandSource EventName=""Click"" ></local:MyCommandSource>

                                    </ig:Commanding.Command>

                                </Button>

                </DataTemplate>";

     

                return XamlReader.Load(template) as DataTemplate;

     

            }

    Hope this helps,
