dynamically populated combobox in datagrid
posted

I have a XamComboEditor in my datagrid. I know how to add items to this in XAML (using ItemProvider and setting it to the EditorStyle) but what I really need is to be able to programmatically set the items of the combobox.. any ideas on how to do this?

     Hello,

    A quick way to do this is by create a new ComboBoxItemsProvider and then set it to the XamComboEditor's ItemsProvider Property like this:

     ComboBoxItemsProvider comboBoxItems = new ComboBoxItemsProvider();
                ObservableCollection<string> itemsCollection = new ObservableCollection<string>();
                itemsCollection .Add("1");
                itemsCollection .Add("2");
                itemsCollection .Add("3");
                comboBoxItems.ItemsSource = itemsCollection ;
                CellValuePresenter cvp = CellValuePresenter.FromRecordAndField(xamDG.Records[0] as DataRecord,xamDG.FieldLayouts[0].Fields[1]);

                XamComboEditor xce = cvp.Editor as XamComboEditor;
                xce.ItemsProvider = comboBoxItems;

                xce.SelectedIndex = 0; 

    Hope this helps.
