How do I bind a property in a Field/FieldSetting/Field Layout to a record

I'm sure this is a stupid question I can't see how to do this. For example if I wanted to set the AllowEdit FieldSetting to true or false depending on a record value. From a cell you would just use "Record.DataItem", but this is not available from a field.

Hi -

One way to prevent editing of a cell based on the cell's value is to handle the xamDataGrid's EditModeStarting event. The event arguments include a reference to the cell and you can use this to check the value and set the Cancel eventargs parameter to true to prevent editing.

Thanks Joe. I think you solved my problem.

In a more general sense, how would one bind a record to a field (field/setting/layout) in XAML. This I am asking partly as a learning and understanding thing. I am really stuggling to get my head around XAM, and even more so, Xam Datagrid. It seems incredibly powerful. I can envisage doing so many things with the datagrid I would never have been able to do. But I want to get to that point where i feel familair with it and I can understand it's internal structure. For instance laying out a field and altering it's settings and behaviour based on values within the record itself would seem to be an important and standard feature. So I'm sure there is a way to easily do this binding, but I have not n smart enough to realise it.

Thanks,

Graeme
