How to bind the cell value in the template of field?
posted

Hi,

I want to write a fixed ControlTemplate for all unboundfields(So i can't write the full bindingPath in this controlTemplate ) which the cell value is a Type A object  in my project. But i can't get the Type A object ,the value of ValueEditor is a string. 

I'm using AlternateBinding to set the Type A object to this field on field's definition.

Binding alternateBinding = new Binding();
alternateBinding.Path = new PropertyPath(string.Format("Fields[{0}]", fieldEditor.Name));

Field field = new Field() { Name = fieldEditor.Name, Label = fieldEditor.Label, Column = startColumnIndex, BindingType = BindingType.UseAlternateBinding, AlternateBinding = alternateBinding}

My template:

<ControlTemplate x:Key="stringEditorTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:ValueEditor}">
<Grid DataContext="{TemplateBinding Value}" Visibility="{Binding IsVisible,Converter={StaticResource BoolToVisibilityConverter}}">
<local:RMTextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" Style="{StaticResource StringEditorTemplateTextBlockStyle}"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>

editorStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(ValueEditor.TemplateProperty, Application.Current.Resources["stringEditorTemplate"]));

field.Settings.EditorStyle = editorStyle;

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If i'm using RelativeSource to find the value of CellValuePresenter is correct. But the output print binding errors while the data record is initializing.

<ControlTemplate x:Key="stringEditorTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:ValueEditor}">
 <Grid DataContext="{Binding Value,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}}}" Visibility="{Binding IsVisible,Converter={StaticResource BoolToVisibilityConverter}}">
<local:RMTextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" Style="{StaticResource StringEditorTemplateTextBlockStyle}"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>

So , Neither using RelativeSource nor using TemplateBinding the Value is not the best way to bind. Can someone give me advice for this situation?

    Hi Brandon,

    I think I might be missing something here. Could you please create a small sample illustrating the approach with TemplateBinding so I could look further into it?
