OK, I've tried modifying the CellValuePresenter for a particular field, but can't seem to get the data to show.  I think it's a binding scope issue or something.  Basically I need to bind 2 different properties to a couple properties in the DataItem of the record.  I'm trying like this:

<igDP:Field Name="ActionCode" Label="Action Code" Width="150">

 <igDP:Field.Settings>

<igDP:FieldSettings>

<igDP:FieldSettings.CellValuePresenterStyle>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}">

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}">

<Border BorderThickness="0,0,1,0" BorderBrush="#4C000000">

<eclp:EclpTextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="{Binding Path=ActionCode, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type igDP:XamDataGrid}}}" ToolTip="{Binding Path=ActionCodeName, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type igDP:XamDataGrid}}}" />

</Border>

</ControlTemplate>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

</igDP:FieldSettings.CellValuePresenterStyle>

</igDP:FieldSettings>

</igDP:Field.Settings>

</igDP:Field>

Hi,

In my previous response I was taking into consideration the binding you had created that pointed to the XamDataGrid and I thought that you have a separate property in your view model that you wanted to reference. By default the CellValuePresenter has a its containing Record as DataContext so if you want to access a property from the data object you are using you can create a style like this one:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}" >

    <Setter Property="Template" >

        <Setter.Value>

            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}">

                <TextBlock Foreground="Red" Text="{Binding Path=DataItem.Age}" />

            </ControlTemplate>

        </Setter.Value>

    </Setter>

</Style>

And as I suggested last time, in order not to lose the built-in functionality make a setter for the ContentTemlate:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}" >

    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate" >

        <Setter.Value>

            <DataTemplate>

                <StackPanel>

                    <TextBlock Foreground="Green"

                               Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource

                        AncestorType={x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}},

                        Path=Value}" />

                    <TextBlock Foreground="YellowGreen"

                               Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource

                        AncestorType={x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}},

                        Path=DataContext.DataItem.Points}" />

                </StackPanel>

            </DataTemplate>

        </Setter.Value>

    </Setter>

</Style>

I have also attached a sample project (Grid_CellValuePresenter_Binding.zip) so you can see the difference.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further on this matter.

Does the DataContext you added in your code snippet point to the CELL's data context, or the data context of the record?  I want to access the data context of the record, and use a couple properties that are available in the data object assigned to the row (record) ... is that possible?

Hello Dustin,

I have been looking through your snippet and since “ActionCode” and  “ActionCodeName” are not properties of the XamDataGrid  I suppose you have provided them as its DataContext which means that this should wok if you change your binding paths like so:

Path=DataContext.ActionCode

and

Path=DataContext.ActionCodeName

If this doesn’t help I am going to need a test sample in order to figure out the bindings you need.

Also instead of retemplating the whole CellValuePresenter I suggest you only retemplate its ContentPresenter, in order to preserve the built-in functionality. You can do this by creating a setter for the ContentTemplate property instead of the Template property.

Please let me know if I can do anything else for you regarding this matter.
