Hi
I am trying to build a stock ticker type of application (similar in some ways to the xamTrader demo application) which uses a xamDataGrid bound to a collection. A thread process updates objects in the collection when a new price comes along and records on one field whether the price has gone up, down or stayed the same.
What I would like to do is have the grid set the colour for the price column according to this other field when it changes.
Back in the WinForm days I used the RowCellStyle event and in the event code used GetRowCellValue to get the "direction" value from a named (and hidden) column, check if the cell was one I wanted to color and then and then set the cell color accordingly.
How would I go about doing this in the WPF xamDataGrid?
Thanks
Hello littledragon,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking through it and I suggest you see this blog:
http://blogs.infragistics.com/blogs/alex_fidanov/archive/2010/01/12/howto-using-wpf-converters-to-style-the-xamdatagrid.aspx
where it is described how to use Converters for conditional formatting. There is also a sample demonstrating it. Also if you want, you can bind to another cell’s value by setting the path of the binding to Record.Cells[2].Value e.g. to bind to the 3rd cell’s value of the Record.
