Removing All Display of Cell Content
posted

Hello,

I am manually adding UnboundField instances to XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts. These fields are bound to something whose actual type is bool. However, I'm setting UnboundField.DataType to typeof(string). I do this because I do not what checkboxes to appear in the grid. However, using typeof(string) causes either "True" or "False" to appear! I don't want this either. What I want is for no content to be displayed at all. (The cell's value will be communicated to the user by setting CellValuePresenter.Background based on the cell's content.) How may I do this?

Thanks,

Dave

    Hello Dave,

    The default value editor for a boolean type is XamCheckEditor. If you change the DataType , then the editor will change accordingly to the new type. As you have set it to string, the value of that cell will be the string representation of a boolean value, which can be True or False. 

    As you have bound the Field to some data, it will display value - which again are True or False.

    I am not sure why you do not want to display any values in a field and why not hide it, but I guess you can make it a nullable boolean "bool?" which will default to null.
