Setting IsChecked property of programmatically created RadioButtons - wpf

I have a bunch of programmatically-created RadioButtons that are displayed in a StackPanel.
I want to use some on-screen buttons or the arrow keys to navigate these RadioButtons, and set the IsChecked property to True when landing on them.
I'm just not sure how to reference these RadioButtons?
Any direction would be appreciated, thanks!

When you dynamically add the controls you will want to store them in a private member variable for reference, eg Private ctrls As New List<Controls>() and then in the Key_Down event set the ctrl[0].IsChecked.
Private Sub Window_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyEventArgs)
If e.Key = Key.Down Then
Dim ctrlIndex As Integer = ControlIdWithFocus()
ctrls(ctrlIndex).IsChecked = True
End If
End Sub
Alternatively you could iterate through the Me.Controls collection, although that will contain all the controls not just the Radio buttons.

SelectedIndexChanged event of dropdownlist in Listview not happening. in a usercontrol

I have a ListView and DropDownList(primary) and tow more and a text box, inside every Row of that ListView. All on a user control ,and using the this user control on the other usercontol(here the operations to be performed.)(we are using DNN) .
Now I would like to add event handler for dropdownlist which would react on SelectedIndexChanged. I wanted to show and hide the other dropdowns and textbox depending on a specific value of the DropDrownList(primary) selected.
I am nowhere to do the same..despite the several attempts.
Screening Outcome:&nbsp
Comments:
Subset Used:&nbsp
TAR Status:&nbsp
code behind like this
Public Sub ddlFindingsScreeningOutcome_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim ddl As DropDownList = CType(sender, DropDownList)
Dim item As ListViewItem = CType(ddl.NamingContainer, ListViewItem)
Dim txtFindingsComments As TextBox = CType(item.FindControl("txtFindingsComments"), TextBox)
Dim ddlFindingsTarStatus As DropDownList = CType(item.FindControl("ddlFindingsTarStatus"), DropDownList)
If Not ddl Is Nothing Then
If Not ddl.SelectedItem.Text = "Not Screened" Then
txtFindingsComments.Visible = True
ddlFindingsTarStatus.Visible = True
End If
Else
txtFindingsComments.Visible = False
ddlFindingsTarStatus.Visible = False
End If

How to fire an event when making a selection of an editable combobox?

I have a ComboBox that is databound to an ObservableCollection of strings. The ComboBox is also editable, so you can either enter in your own value or select one from the list. The issue I'm running into is the index of SelectedItem seems to be the index of the last item you selected when you've entered in your own value in the ComboBox, though it's -1 when you have IsTextSearchEnabled set to true.
The problem is, if someone entered their own value and then decide to instead select the item on the ComboBox that had been selected before, the index doesn't change so the SelectionChange event doesn't fire. How could I get an event to fire in this situation?
Test this...
I hope this helps:
Dim oldSEL As String = ""
'always checking while you move your mouse over the combobox (when altering selection) and using the keyboard to (alter selection)
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.MouseMove, ComboBox1.KeyPress
Dim currentSEL As String = ComboBox1.SelectedText
If Not (oldSEL = "" And currentSEL = oldSEL) Then
fire()
oldSEL = currentSEL
End If
End Sub
Private Sub fire()
Trace.Write("text selected changed")
End Sub
You should change all the Combobox1 to your liking.

Apply and validate a bound DataGridViewComboBoxCell directly upon selection change

I have a windows forms DataGridView that contains some DataGridViewComboBoxCells that are bound to a source collection using DataSource, DisplayMember and ValueMember properties. Currently the the combobox cell commits the changes (i.e. DataGridView.CellValueChanged is raised) only after I click on another cell and the combobox cell loses focus.
How would I ideally commit the change directly after a new value was selected in the combobox.
This behaviour is written into the implementation of the DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl. Thankfully, it can be overridden. First, you must create a subclass of the aforementioned editing control, overriding the OnSelectedIndexChanged method:
protected override void OnSelectedIndexChanged(EventArgs e) {
base.OnSelectedIndexChanged(e);
EditingControlValueChanged = true;
EditingControlDataGridView.NotifyCurrentCellDirty(true);
EditingControlDataGridView.CommitEdit(DataGridViewDataErrorContexts.Commit);
}
This will ensure that the DataGridView is properly notified of the change in item selection in the combo box when it takes place.
You then need to subclass DataGridViewComboBoxCell and override the EditType property to return the editing control subclass from above (e.g. return typeof(MyEditingControl);). This will ensure that the correct editing control is created when the cell goes into edit mode.
Finally, you can set the CellTemplate property of your DataGridViewComboBoxColumn to an instance of the cell subclass (e.g. myDataGridViewColumn.CellTemplate = new MyCell();). This will ensure that the correct type of cell is used for each row in the grid.
I tried using Bradley's suggestion, but it was sensitive to when you attached the cell template. It seemed like I couldn't allow the design view to wire up the column, I had to do it myself.
Instead, I used the binding source's PositionChanged event, and triggered updates from that. It's a little bit odd, because the control is still in edit mode, and the databound object doesn't get the selected value yet. I just updated the bound object myself.
private void bindingSource_PositionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
(MyBoundType)bindingSource.Current.MyBoundProperty =
((MyChoiceType)comboBindingSource.Current).MyChoiceProperty;
}
A better way to achieve this that I am using successfully rather than subclassing or the somewhat inelegant binding source method above, is the following (sorry it's VB but if you can't translate from VB to C# you have bigger problems :)
Private _currentCombo As ComboBox
Private Sub grdMain_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) Handles grdMain.EditingControlShowing
If TypeOf e.Control Is ComboBox Then
_currentCombo = CType(e.Control, ComboBox)
AddHandler _currentCombo.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf SelectionChangedHandler
End If
End Sub
Private Sub grdMain_CellEndEdit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles grdMain.CellEndEdit
If Not _currentCombo Is Nothing Then
RemoveHandler _currentCombo.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf SelectionChangedHandler
_currentCombo = Nothing
End If
End Sub
Private Sub SelectionChangedHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim myCombo As ComboBox = CType(sender, ComboBox)
Dim newInd As Integer = myCombo.SelectedIndex
//do whatever you want with the new value
grdMain.NotifyCurrentCellDirty(True)
grdMain.CommitEdit(DataGridViewDataErrorContexts.Commit)
End Sub
That's it.

WPF refresh TreeView when it loses the focus

I have a problem with my TreeView in a WPF application (Framework 3.5 SP1).
It's a TreeVIew with 2 Levels of Data. I expand / collapse the items of the first level in a particular way (with a single mouse-click on the TreeViewItem). Again when I expand a first-level TreeViewItem, I add some second-level TreeViewItems to the group (it's an important detail, infact if I don't add the items the problem doesn't occur). All works good until the TreeView loses focus.
If, for example, I expand the TreeViewItem at the first position, adding at the same time one element to the second-level, then I click on a button (to let the TreeView lose the focus), and then I click again on the TreeViewItem at the third position to expand it, the TreeViewItem that results from the hit-test with the mouse position is not the "real" TreeViewItem (in this case the third), but a TreeViewItem which is in an higher position than the one clicked (in this case the second).
I have tried to use the UpdateLayout method on the TreeView-LostFocus event, but without results. Probably I need a method that does the opposite: starting from the UI, refresh the object that contains the position of the TreeViewItems.
Can you, please, help me?
Thank you!

This is the code:
' in this way I tried to put remedy at the problem, but it doesn't work.
Private Sub tvArt_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Handles tvArt.LostFocus
Me.tvArt.UpdateLayout()
e.Handled = True
End Sub
' here I expand / collapse the items of the first level of my TreeView
Private Sub tvArt_PreviewMouseUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As MouseButtonEventArgs) Handles tvArt.PreviewMouseUp
Dim p As Point = Nothing
Dim tvi As TreeViewItem = getItemFromMousePosition(Of TreeViewItem)(p, e.OriginalSource, Me.tvArt)
If tvi Is Nothing = False Then
If tvi.HasItems Then
Dim be As BindingExpression = BindingOperations.GetBindingExpression(tvi, TreeViewItem.ItemsSourceProperty)
Dim ri As P_RicambiItem = DirectCast(be.DataItem, P_RicambiItem)
If ri.isExpanded = False then
' here I add items to the second level collection
End If
ri.isExpanded = Not ri.isExpanded
End If
End If
e.Handled = True
End Sub
Private Function getItemFromMousePosition(Of childItem As DependencyObject)(ByRef p As Point, ByVal sender As UIElement, _
ByVal _item As UIElement) As childItem
p = sender.TranslatePoint(New Point(0, 0), _item)
Dim obj As DependencyObject = DirectCast(_item.InputHitTest(p), DependencyObject)
While obj Is Nothing = False AndAlso TypeOf obj Is childItem = False
obj = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(obj)
End While
Return DirectCast(obj, childItem)
End Function
I have find this solution (but I don't like it very much). The problem is depending from the added items that wpf, for some reasons, doesn't remember that exist. Then I do a "manual" refresh with a method that clear and re-add all the items in the source-collection:
Public Sub RefreshData(ByVal RicambiListPass As ObservableCollection(Of P_RicambiItem))
Dim l As New List(Of P_RicambiItem)
l.AddRange(RicambiListPass)
_RicambiList.Clear()
For Each i As P_RicambiItem In l
_RicambiList.Add(i)
Next
End Sub

How to add a ContextMenu depending on which WPF DataGrid row is right-clicked?

I need to display different options in a ContextMenu depending on which row of a WPF DataGrid is right-clicked. My initial ideas were to accomplish this through either binding or handling a mouse click event, but I haven't had success with either strategy so far. Any help would be most appreciated!
Thank you!
Denise
You can handle the DataGrid's ContextMenuOpening event and based on the original source of the routed event you adjust your context menu.
Below is a sample where I show a context menu if the data context of the original source is of type Inventory otherwise I do not show the context menu by handling the event.
Private Sub InventoriesDataGrid_ContextMenuOpening( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Controls.ContextMenuEventArgs) Handles _
InventoriesDataGrid.ContextMenuOpening
Dim context = DirectCast(e.OriginalSource, System.Windows.FrameworkElement).DataContext
If TypeOf context Is Inventory Then
InventoriesDataGrid.ContextMenu = InventoriesDataGrid.Resources("DefaultContextMenu")
Else
e.Handled = True 'Do not show context menu.
End If
End Sub
I'm sure it is too late to help you now, but in case it is not too late and for anyone else who comes across this.
You can try the OriginalSource from the ContextMenuEventArgs argument in the ContextMenuOpening event :
DataGridResults.ContextMenuOpening += (sender, args) =>
{
var frameworkElement = args.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;
var gridRow = frameworkElement != null ? frameworkElement.TemplatedParent as DataGridRow : null;
}
Note however that the use of TemplatedParent depends on how the datagrid items were bound
