Not able to change labels of the child table fields

Not able to change labels of the child's table fields

I am using a XamDataGrid for displaying the information of a dataSet. I have two tables and a relation within the DataSet

I am just using this line of code in my UserControl:

<igDP:XamDataGrid Name="xamDataGrid1" DataSource="{Binding Path=ADataSet.Tables[0].DefaultView}">

</igDP:XamDataGrid>

The information of both tables is shown correctly in a hierarchically way. As I am not setting the AutoGenerateFields to false, all the columns are displayed and the name of the column displayed is the name of the column in the dataSet.

As I want to use a more "friendly" name for the columns I am changing the labels in the code-behind dynamically.

So I changed the fieldLayout of the parent table (FieldLayouts[0]) and then I change the fieldLayout of the child table (FieldLayouts[1]) in the code-behind.

The labels of the parent table are changed correctly, I mean, I can see in the table displayed the "friendly" name for the columns of the parent table. But the labels of the child table are unchanged.

When I debug the code I see that the labels of the FieldLayout of the child table is changed correctly in the code behind(FieldLayouts[1]), but dispate of this, I am not able to see the friendly name when the table is displayed. So for the childs I am still seeing the "unfriendly" name.

This behaviour is really strange because I can see when I debug the code, that I m actually changing the labels of both tables, but for some reason, the childs table displayed is not changing.

    HI,

     I am attaching a sample that binds the XamDataGrid to the NorthWind Order and OrderDetails tables.

     I was able to change the child labels.

     Here is my code snippet:
     private void xamDataGrid1_FieldLayoutInitialized(object sender, Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter.Events.FieldLayoutInitializedEventArgs e)  

           {

                if (e.FieldLayout.Key == "Order Details")    

             {    

                 foreach (Field f in e.FieldLayout.Fields)

                    {       

                  f.Label = f.Name.Replace("ID", "Idenity");

                    }             }         }

     

     I am attaching the sample as well.
