Display a Grid as a comboBox's selectedValue

I was wondering, is it possible to display a grid in a comboBox as its selectedValue (or displayMemberPath) ?
I wanted to do something like that :
It's a screen from Telerik's comboBox, but I wish to do the same in WPF only. I already use a grid inside the dropdown and it works pretty well, and I'd achieve something cool if I could display many rows as a selectedValue. I supposed I'd use a grid but applying a grid in the displayMemberPath style doesn't really work.
My comboBox is inside a DataGridTemplateColumn but I don't think it matters, just saying.
Thanks !

WPF datagrid - value of the edited cell

I am working on WPF datagrid control. Binding the data from code behind using a dataset/XML. I want to edit the cell of the grid and capture the new value which the user has entered. Is there a code sample to show how to do that?
What event should I use and which property of datagrid (if any) should I use, selecteditem or selectedcell?
(I am kind of new to WPF datagrid control, so I apologize if this is kind of kiddish...)
You can use CellEditEnding and RowEditEnding. You can access the respective row and its Item from the event arguments.

Writable ComboBox in Silverlight

How can we change a Silverlight ComboBox writable like in Windows Form when we change the DropDown property.
I believe the closest you can get is autocompletebox
ComboBox in Silverlight does not have IsReadonly and IsEditable properties like WPF that allow it to be editable.
You will have to create a custom control or a user control to mimic that behavior.

WPF - Adding a Rowheader to a ListView Grid View

I need to add a rowheader to a Listview GridView. it needs to act like a datagrid rowheader, sop it should be freezable.
is thsi possible? can anyone show me some source code to do this?
Thanks
The GridView do not have rowheaders but you can style the first column differently than the rest. Implementing freezing will require some innovative use of a scrollviewer. Can't you just use the DataGrid which has RowHeaders?

WPF DataGrid - Set a cell into edit mode programmatically

I have a WPF DataGrid that shows some data records (bounded to an ObservableCollection).
When the user clicks "Edit" button, the currend selected row should move into edit-mode (As if the user double-clicked this row).
How do I do that?
Assuming WPF:
<DataGrid x:Name="dg".... />
Then this code will work:
dg.CurrentCell = new DataGridCellInfo(dg.Items[i], dg.Columns[j]);
dg.BeginEdit();
Here is the documentation of the WPF DataGrid on MSDN. The BeginEdit method seems to be what you are looking for.
PS: I don't know if this is suitable for your application, but many DataGrid users find Single-Click Editing useful.
