Set the area of influence of checkbox click - wpf

I am using the following code to create single click checkbox in a wpf DataGrid.
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Select">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Margin="16,3,0,0" IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
This is the example
output:
The checkbox is selected only if user clicks to the right of the checkbox. If the user clicks to the left of the checkbox, it is not selected. How to fix this? I want the checkbox to be selected if the user clicks anywhere on the cell where the checkbox is located.


Create a custom template for the CheckBox or you could put it into a ToggleButton:
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Select">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ToggleButton Margin="0" IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
<ToggleButton.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToggleButton">
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<ContentPresenter />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</ToggleButton.Template>
<CheckBox Margin="16,3,0,0" IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ToggleButton}}" />
</ToggleButton>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>


You could "just" make the checkbox bigger.
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Select">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Viewbox>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</Viewbox>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
Or use something isn't a checkbox at all if selection of row drives it.
Eg
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Select">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Rectangle>
<Rectangle.Fill>
<VisualBrush>
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Grid>
<Path Fill="Green" Data="{StaticResource Tick}">
<Path.Style>
<Style TargetType="Path">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=DataGridRow}}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Path.Style>
</Path>
<Path Fill="Red" Data="{StaticResource Cross}">
<Path.Style>
<Style TargetType="Path">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=DataGridRow}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Path.Style>
</Path>
</Grid>
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
Tick and cross are a bit big but:
<Geometry x:Key="Tick">

How to set GridViewColumn Cell Template with Style Triggers

At the moment my grid is changing to Autogenerate columns so I cannot predefine the column style. I'm wondering how abouts do I set a style trigger for a column based on header value.
Working code with predefined columns with AutoGenerateColumns="True"
<telerik:GridViewColumn Header="Test">
<telerik:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ToggleDataTemplate">
<telerik:RadToggleButton Content="+" Width="20" Height="20"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"/>
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewColumn>
What I've tried with AutoGenerateColumns="False"
<telerik:RadGridView.Resources>
<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewColumn">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Header" Value="Test">
<Setter Property="CellTemplate" Value="{StaticResource ToggleDataTemplate}" />
<Setter Property="CellEditTemplate" Value="{StaticResource ToggleDataTemplate}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</telerik:RadGridView.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ToggleDataTemplate">
<telerik:RadToggleButton Content="+" Width="20" Height="20"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"/>
</DataTemplate>
With what I tried above, the cell remains blank. How abouts do I get the button to appear dynamically?

You should be able to handle the AutoGeneratingColumn event and set the CellEditTemplate of all columns programmatically:
<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="grid" AutoGeneratingColumn="grid_AutoGeneratingColumn">
<telerik:RadGridView.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ToggleDataTemplate">
<telerik:RadToggleButton Content="+" Width="20" Height="20"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"/>
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:RadGridView.Resources>
</telerik:RadGridView>
private void grid_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
{
e.Column.CellEditTemplate = grid.Resources["ToggleDataTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
}

WPF Binding to a RadioButton GroupName

I have a dynamic ListView using a DataTemplate as follows:
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border BorderThickness="0,0,0,1" BorderBrush="#ccc">
<RadioButton GroupName="MyRadioButtonGroup">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,5" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=CheckoutGrid}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Test1, StringFormat='{}{0} - '}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Test2, StringFormat='{} test {0} - '}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Test, StringFormat='{} test {0}'}" />
</StackPanel>
</RadioButton>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
I would like to have a button disabled until one of the RadioButton IsChecked:
<RadioButton Padding="15,10" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<RadioButton.Style>
<Style TargetType="RadioButton" BasedOn="{StaticResource styleToggleButton4}">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=MyRadioButtonGroup, Path=IsChecked}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</RadioButton.Style>
<TextBlock FontWeight="SemiBold" FontSize="14" Margin="0">NEXT</TextBlock>
</RadioButton>
So the problem is I do not know how to properly bind to the RadioButton GroupName="MyRadioButtonGroup". You will see in the DataTrigger above I am trying Binding="{Binding ElementName=MyRadioButtonGroup, Path=IsChecked}" Value="False", but that is not working for me since obviously it is a GroupName and not an x:Name.
Any suggestions on how to approach this properly? I would rather want to handle this on the front-end if at all possible.

You could bind your radio button to a command and then use the isChecked as a parameter. Then bind to a boolean value based off that. I think this may be more of a workaround though.
<RadioButton
Command="{Binding MyCommand}"
CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=IsChecked}"
GroupName="radio" />
<RadioButton
Command="{Binding MyCommand}"
CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=IsChecked}"
GroupName="radio" />
Then in code behind or VM, it would require implementing the ICommand Interface and INotifyPropertyChanged
public bool IsChecked
{
get { return isChecked;}
set
{
isChecked = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
private void OnMyCommand(object obj)
{
if(obj is bool)
{
IsChecked = (bool)obj;
}
}

A group has no IsChecked property that you can bind to.
If you don't have a source property that keeps track of whether there is at least one checked RadioButton and "want to handle this on the front-end" - which I guess means in the view - you could write some code that simply sets the Tag property of the ListView to true/false depending on whether there is a RadioButton selected. It is a one-liner:
private void ListView_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) => lv.Tag = true;
<ListView x:Name="lv" ToggleButton.Checked="ListView_Checked">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
...
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
<RadioButton Padding="15,10" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<RadioButton.Style>
<Style TargetType="RadioButton" BasedOn="{StaticResource styleToggleButton4}">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=lv, Path=Tag}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</RadioButton.Style>
<TextBlock FontWeight="SemiBold" FontSize="14" Margin="0">NEXT</TextBlock>
</RadioButton>

How do you set WPF Hyperlink text via XAML

I have a button that has its content (text) set dynamically via a style against a backing property as below.
<Button>
<Button.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="Button.Content" Value="Advanced Search" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsAdvancedSearch}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Button.Content" Value="Standard Search" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
I need to change this button to display just a hyperlink with the same dynamic text. Like this:
<Button>
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink>
Standard Search
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
Is there a way to set the hyperlink's text (inline or some other tag) dynamically via a style still?
I haven't been able to get access to it via XAML. I got it working with a normal binding on a textblock inside the hyperlink but that is creating a redundant property on the viewmodel really.

You can embed another TextBlock inside your Hyperlink and bind it:
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LinkText}" />
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>

Solution was to simply apply the style to an inner Textblock.
<Button x:Name="SwitchSearchType">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink>
<Hyperlink.Inlines>
<TextBlock>
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="TextBlock.Text" Value="Advanced Search" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsAdvancedSearch}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="TextBlock.Text" Value="Standard Search" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
</Hyperlink.Inlines>
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>

<GridViewColumn Header="{x:Static lang:Lang.wName}" CellTemplate="{StaticResource Template_DebitAccount}" />
And use into skin file
<DataTemplate x:Key="Template_DebitAccount">
<Border Padding="3" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding wDebitAccountName}" Style="{StaticResource TextStyle_Path}">
<TextBlock.InputBindings>
<MouseBinding MouseAction="LeftClick" Command="{Binding DataContext.Base_PopPageCommand , RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ListView}}" >
<MouseBinding.CommandParameter>
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource MultiValueBindingConverter}">
<Binding Source="AgentSummary" />
<Binding Path="Link_Text"/>
</MultiBinding>
</MouseBinding.CommandParameter>
</MouseBinding>
</TextBlock.InputBindings>
</TextBlock>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>

Given:
<Hyperlink x:Name="uriEmailAddress" Click="Hyperlink_Click"></Hyperlink>
Code:
string e = Properties.Settings.Default.Email;
uriEmailAddress.NavigateUri = new Uri("mailto:" + e);
InlineCollection ic = uriEmailAddress.Inlines;
ic.Add(new Run(e));

WPF Xceed datagrid - datatrigger on cell's content makes me lose data on load...however re

I am using the Xceed datagrid for WPF. Today I was trying to change the background of the whole row if one of its column "SA" has the some value or not null. I wrote the following piece of code in XAML with a converter function in code behind:
<xcdg:DataGridControl.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:DataRow}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Converter={StaticResource newConverter}, Path=Cells[SA].Content}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="LightGreen" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</xcdg:DataGridControl.Resources>
To my surprise, as soon as I load the grid for the first time, the data in the SA column is nowhere to be seen. However, once I scroll down a bit, till the point that row which is supposed to have data for the column is not visible, and then when I scroll up again to see that row, I can see the value in that column as well as the background changed.
What am I doing wrong?

Use simple binding and avoid converter/template
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"></TextBlock>
To fill color in your column use this or the following code:
<xcdg:Column Title="Unit Price" FieldName="UnitPrice" ReadOnly="True">
<xcdg:Column.CellContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>

Calling a datatrigger for a radio button inside a datagrid

I have a datagrid with one column having a radio button. I want to set the GroupName when a certain condition is reached. Below is the code
<Custom:DataGrid.Columns>
<!-- ONLY ENABLED WHEN THE ITEM TYPE IS SINGLESELECT OR SINGLESELECT WITH ADDIOTIONAL DATA-->
<Custom:DataGridTemplateColumn CanUserResize="False" MinWidth="20" >
<Custom:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<RadioButton IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked}" d:DesignWidth="16" d:DesignHeight="16" GroupName="SingleChoiceSelection" Template="{DynamicResource RadioButtonTemplate}" Background="{DynamicResource BackgroundNew}" BorderBrush="#FF7A7171" Foreground="#FF6C6C6C" Margin="0" />
</DataTemplate>
</Custom:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</Custom:DataGridTemplateColumn>
<Custom:DataGridTextColumn Header="Choices" Binding="{Binding ChoiceText}" CellStyle="{DynamicResource DataGridCellStyle2}" MinWidth="150" />
</Custom:DataGrid.Columns>
</Custom:DataGrid>
The ItemSource contains a property called isChecked and I want to change the foreground color when isChecked is changed to true. How do i do this with a datatrigger?

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsChecked}" Value="True" >
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Yellow" />
<DataTrigger>
