Hello,
We have a grid with more than 100 columns. And we are trying to use the 'FieldChooser' dialog to enable user to choose a field. However, there is no 'search' functionality in that particular dialog. We would like to add a XamComboBox, which allows auto complete, where users can put couple of letters to choose from and the list of fields will be updated based on the user search. We took the generic style for FieldChooser and start updating but so far could not get the functionality that we would like to have. Can you please let us know how to get this functionality to the FieldChooser?
<DockPanel Visibility="{TemplateBinding FieldGroupSelectorVisibilityResolved}" > <editors:XamCheckEditor x:Name="toggleAllCheckBox" DockPanel.Dock="Left" IsThreeState="false" Value="{Binding Path=AllCurrentFieldsVisible, RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.TemplatedParent}, Mode=TwoWay}" Visibility="{Binding Path=DisplayHiddenFieldsOnly, RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.TemplatedParent}, Converter={StaticResource NotBoolToVisConverter}, Mode=OneWay}" Margin="4,0,0,0" /> <!--This is the combobox that we implemented which is shown for field group selectors.--> <ig:XamComboEditor x:Name="fieldGroupSelector" DockPanel.Dock="Right" ItemsSource="{TemplateBinding CurrentFields}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" DisplayMemberPath="Field.Name" OpenDropDownOnTyping="True" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedField, RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.TemplatedParent}, Mode=TwoWay}" /> </DockPanel>
Hello Murat,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into and I created a sample project for you with the functionality you want. Basically I added a TextBox above the ListBox that contains the Fields in the FieldChooser. I also handled its TextChanged event and in the handler I set the visibility, of the items that doesn’t contains the text, to Collapsed. You can also use this logic as a base in order to replace the TextBox with a ComboBox or other con troll of your choice.
Hope this helps you.
Hello Stefan,
Can you please verify that you can type into that textbox? Also try it with some databound to the grid.
Best regards,
Murat.
Seems like we have another issue here. As I mentioned before I cannot type in that text box. One quick note, our WPF application (and our XamDataGrid) is hosted in WinForms application. I did some research and found this link. Can you please investigate why we are having this is issue with this particular dialog. We use bunch of other dialogs like FormulaEditor etc. but we never had this issue.
I created a sample project for you with the following your scenario and I wasn’t able to type in the textbox, too. I followed the approach from the link you shared in order to call the method for the FieldChooser in order to enable the user to type in the TextBox. Please let me know if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.
Looking forward for your reply.
ToolWindow.Parent throws a null pointer exception, we are using 13.1 here. Did you test this sample?
If you are going to (directly or indirectly) use any ToolWindows within a Windows Forms application then you'll need to invoke the static EnableModelessKeyboardInterop method on the Infragistics.Windows.Utilities class so that ToolWindow will call that method for the WPF Window with which it gets associated.
Hello Andrew,
Thank you for your response that resolved the keyboard input issue. However, the sample Stefan provided does not provide the actual functionality. First with the 'StackPanel' usage we use the 'ScrollView' on the Listbox. We have resolved the issue by switching to a Grid. However, still when we do filtering Listboxjust starts showing the elements when you scroll through the grid. I would be glad if you can test the example he sent and make sure that it works.
I am just checking if you got this worked out or you still require any assistance or clarification on the matter.
If the sample doesn’t satisfies all your needs feel free to modify it, so it reproduces your issue and send it back to me for further investigation.
