I just learned how to create SampleData and place them into a Datagrid using Blend. I havent found good tutorials on styling Datagrid without using WPFToolkit or Infragistics. I have extracted the template and styles from it, but I'm not sure where to even start hacking into the style.
I would like to create a Datagrid similar to this image http://blogs.infragistics.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/kiril_5F00_matev/XamDataGridFilteringSlider.jpg
Also, I would want to have it so when someone selects a row an arrow will show up for that row. Are there any good tutorials or codes you can share? A break down of the parts that make up the Datagrid control would surely help me understand better.
Thanks!
I've always loved Jaime Rodriguez's article for most basic DataGrid styling
And if you're looking to overwrite the template entirely, you can find the default template on MSDN

I need to make several changes to the default Styles and ControlTemplates of all major UserControls of my application. I found this very easy to do for allmost all UserControls (RightClick control in VS2015 designer => Edit template => Edit a copy...) and maybe a little bit more complicated for the more complex ones like the Calendar, but I totally fail for DataGrid and its now sub controls.
While it is of course easy to get the style and template for the DataGrid itself I still need the styles for DataGridRow, DataGridRowHeader, DataGridColumnHeader, DataGridCell, ... I do not even know all possible sub elements.
I searched the internet for about half a day now and could not find any solution to my issue:
If I check the MSDN for default styles of the DataGrid it gives me a bad example that contains weird stuff like FrozenGridDataGrid and other stuff that is not contained in the referenced Namespaces and assemblies. I'm not sure if this example is targeted towards Silverlight only...
Tools like 'Show Me The Templates!' do not list the DataGrid...
The BAML Viewer addin for .Net Reflector does only show me my custom styles but not the default ones. Targeting for example the PresentationFramework.Aero.dll does not work.
I even found an example by Jamie Rodriguez on the MSDN on how to style the DataGrid which gets very close to what I need - but then again I do not know how close his code is to the defaults, if something is missing and also his result looks like a color palette...
Can anyone please tell me what styles and templates I need to cover the whole DataGrid and where I can get their defaults?
Thanks
Use Blend.
You will get all templates.
I'm trying to create a custom datagrid control for my application. But I've encountered a problem for which I have no idea what is the problem. For some reason the changes I try to apply to the column header just wont apply to my control.
If I try changing DataGrid style/template it works just fine, but for DataGrid column header it just wont budge. I've even tried to copy the existing default template and changing just the basics of it and it still won't do anything.
I would really appreciate any thoughts/help.
Thanks
Found solution that fixed problem. In datagrid style i've specified static resource for columnheader style.
I am making a style for gridview in WPF which consists of several parts, currently I am stuck with the column headers part
I made a style for GridViewColumnHeader but now I need a style for its container
is there a part similar to "DataGridColumnHeadersPresenter" which is a wrapper for all of the columns?
Any help where to find the parts of the control? I want to find the name of that part and the default template for it.
Thank you
Another reason why Snoop is very good.
You get Snoop to identify the element your looking for
Guess it's GridViewHeaderRowPresenter what your looking for.
I have a DataGrid and I need to add an Expander control dynamically to group few rows based on some conditions... Can anyone help me in this... I am completely new to Silverlight :(
Found the answer, I have created a separate column for the expander and managed to display it when my condition is satisfied. It is not dynamic though, but solved the purpose. :)
Dynamically--not sure what you want. I've done expanders statically. My two cents: keep it simple and don't try and do too much. If by dynamically you are taking about Master/Details data gridview, that can be done by XAML and loading the gridview with an ObservableCollection class (search the net). Also search for PagedCollectionView and .Visibility properties for controls. If you want to add controls to a StackPanel, dynamically, search the net for .Children.Remove methods.
Good luck, but as a beginner you are probably trying to do too much IMO.
I have two listviews (and Gridview inside that) inmy WPF/MVVM application. How would I implement Drag/Drop for single item in this case?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I have made a sample application where you can have an idea about how it works with the MVVM i have ItemsControl ListView and another Listview Where you can drag and drop single item.
you can find it here a project named DragDropItems Credit Bea Stollnitz's
Usually for DragDrop I use the code found at Bea Stollnitz's Blog. It's simple, easy to understand, and easy to modify as needed.
