I am using a HeaderTemplate on a TextColumn to wrap the text. Here's an example:
<ig:TextColumn Key="StreetAddress1" HeaderText="{Binding ControlTesterStrings.StreetAddress1}"> <ig:TextColumn.HeaderTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock Text="{Binding ControlTesterStrings.StreetAddress1, Source={StaticResource ResourceWrapper}}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Width="47"/> </DataTemplate> </ig:TextColumn.HeaderTemplate> </ig:TextColumn>
When I use the PersistenceManager to save the grid, it works, but when the grid is reloaded, the HeaderTemplate is discarded for this column, and it just shows "StreetAddress1" as a single word in the HeaderText instead of ControlTesterStrings.StreetAddress1 which expands to "Street Address 1".
When I save, I'm using these settings:
PersistenceSettings ps = new PersistenceSettings(); ps.PropertySettings.Add(new PropertyNamePersistenceInfo { PropertyName = "ColumnMovingSettings", }); ps.PropertySettings.Add(new PropertyNamePersistenceInfo { PropertyName = "ColumnChooserSettings", });
I tried adding ColumnLayouts[].Columns[].HeaderTemplate and ColumnLayouts[].ColumnsHeaderTemplate, but I'm really just guessing. Which is the appropriate setting to use?
Thanks!
Hello,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I created a sample project for you with the functionality you want. Basically I created the DataTemplate for the Header in the App.xaml files’ Recourses. I also set the Identifier Attached Property like it is described here:
http://help.infragistics.com/doc/Silverlight/2013.2/CLR4.0/?page=Persistence_Identifier.html
so the Persistence Framework could persist the DataTemplate. Please let me know if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thanks, Stefan. This works as long as I define the DataTemplate as an application resource. The problem is that I am actually extending XamGrid with added functionality in a different assembly. I am then referencing that XamGrid in my XAML file instead of the stock Infragisitcs XamGrid. I'd like for the DataTemplate to reside in the custom XamGrid assembly, because this control could end up in any number of applications, but if I do that, the resource cannot be found.
Is there a way to solve that?
