Hi Matt,

Thank you for your sample solution. This is exactly what I am trying to do. I was hoping there would be a simpler approach although I was wondering if it was going to be something like this.

I am having issues getting it to work in my solution though. I cannot create an instance of “VM” in my XAML. I believe this is because I need to pass a parameter to my ViewModel before I bind to it. If I didn’t want to reference my ViewModel in my XAML how could I adjust this solution to accommodate that. I am currently unable to pass the actual Field Name through to the Converter.

Also, we are going to end up with 200-300 columns (with about 40 ever being visible at a time) . Is there going to be performance issues trying to highlight a column on hover doing it this way?

Thanks

HI,

 Well performance could be an issue, you should try it out, its not much code to implement.

As far as your vm issues, add another binding to the multibinding, element name = layoutroot, path-=datacontext (this should bring in your viewmodel)

 You could also just do the header hight.

 Here a code snippet to just do the header

 <Style TargetType="{x:Type igDP:LabelPresenter}">             <Setter Property="Background">                 <Setter.Value>                     <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource bmulticonv}">                         <Binding Source="{StaticResource vm}" Path="FieldName"/>                         <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource self}" Path="Field"/>                     </MultiBinding>                 </Setter.Value>             </Setter>         </Style>      

        <Style      TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}">             <EventSetter Event="MouseLeave" Handler="CellValuePresenter_MouseLeave"/>             <EventSetter Event="MouseEnter" Handler="CellValuePresenter_MouseEnter"/>             <EventSetter Event="PreviewMouseMove" Handler="CellValuePresenter_PreviewMouseMove"/>             <!--<Setter Property="Background">                 <Setter.Value>                     <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource bmulticonv}">                         <Binding Source="{StaticResource vm}" Path="FieldName"/>                         <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource self}" Path="Field"/>                     </MultiBinding>                 </Setter.Value>             </Setter>-->                    </Style>
