Hello Alex,

Thanks for your quick response.

I have referred the above mentioned url and the sample. But still i am facing the problem at runtime.

If i apply the EditorStyle at design time it works fine for me but if i apply the same editor style at runtime it does not uses the style and data template does not gets applied.

Am I missing any thing here...

Code which works fine at design time -

<igDP:Field Name="salary">
      <igDP:Field.Settings>
              <igDP:FieldSettings>
                     <igDP:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
                             <Style TargetType="{x:Type igSamples:ControlHostEditor}">
                                       <Setter Property="EditDataTemplate">
                                                <Setter.Value>
                                                        <DataTemplate>
                                                              <ComboBox />
                                                       </DataTemplate>
                                                </Setter.Value>
                                       </Setter>
                              </Style>
                        </igDP:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
                 </igDP:FieldSettings>
            </igDP:Field.Settings>
       </igDP:Field>

Following is the Code which does not work -

<igDP:XamDataGrid.Resources>
  <Style x:Key="MultiComboStyle" TargetType="{x:Type igSamples:ControlHostEditor}">
       <Setter Property="EditDataTemplate">
             <Setter.Value>
                   <DataTemplate>
                        <ComboBox />
                   </DataTemplate>
             </Setter.Value>
       </Setter>
  </Style>
</igDP:XamDataGrid.Resources>

the code behind -

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
       FieldLayout fl = xamDataGrid.FieldLayouts[0];
       Field field = fl.Fields["salary"];
       field.Settings.EditorStyle = xamDataGrid.FindResource("MultiComboStyle") as Style;
}

Please suggest.

Actually the requirement is - As per the sample attached in the previes sample -

Say currently the focus is in the name column. I press the tab key and shift the focus to the salary column. Now I wanted a combo box to appear in the salary cell having the focus inside it.

But when i run the sample and press the tab key a Textbox is getting dispalyed instead of the combobox in the salary column.

Any reason for this. Is it dispalying the combobox in the salary column at your end?

Sachin,

As I can see in your project, you have both references for 8.2 and 9.1.

Here is a screenshot of what I am getting when I run the project and apply the style from the code behind.

Make sure you do not have ambiguous references.

Regards,

Alex.

Alex,

Thanks for your support.

Now i got the problem. I was assigning the style to the field in the Window_Loaded event. If I assign the style in XamDataGrid_InitializeRecord event it works fine.

Thanks...

Sachin,

Try with FieldLayoutInitialized instead of InitializeRecord.

InitializeRecord would fire each time a record is initialized (when scrolled out-into view,grouped, ungrouped, etc).

Alex,

One more query here.

I have applied a combobox as the EditDataTemplate for the column of the DataGrid. Now i want the combobox to disappear and the selected text should get displayed in the grid cell(field) whenever i select the item from combobox.

Any clues how this can be done.

~Sachin 

Sachin,

In orde for the XamTextEditor to appear again, the Cell must end its edit mode.

To do this, you would have to handle probably selection changed event of the Combo and go up the element tree and find the CellValuePresenter and call the EndEditMode method.

Something like this:

CellValuePresenter cvp = Utilities.GetAncestorFromType(e.OriginalSource as DependencyObject, typeof(CellValuePresenter), false) as CellValuePresenter;

cvp.EndEditMode(true,true);

Let me know if you have any questions on this.

Alex.
