How to bind the selected item and current item in WPF DataGrid ?
You can bind the SelectedItem and CurrentItem properties directly in WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid). But in Master DetailsView you can’t be able to bind the SelectedItem or CurrentItem directly in DetailsViewDataGrid. You can overcome this by using behavior with dependency properties which is bounded to ViewModel properties. You have to use SelectionChanged event of corresponding DetailsViewDataGrid to get the SelectedItem and CurrentItem of WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid).
C#
public class SelectionBehaviour : Behavior<SfDataGrid>
{
public object DetailsViewSelectedItem
{
get { return (object)GetValue(DetailsViewSelectedItemProperty); }
set { SetValue(DetailsViewSelectedItemProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty DetailsViewSelectedItemProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("DetailsViewSelectedItem", typeof(object), typeof(SelectionBehaviour), new PropertyMetadata(null));
public object DetailsViewCurrentItem
{
get { return (object)GetValue(DetailsViewCurrentItemProperty); }
set { SetValue(DetailsViewCurrentItemProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty DetailsViewCurrentItemProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("DetailsViewCurrentItem", typeof(object), typeof(SelectionBehaviour), new PropertyMetadata(null));
public ObservableCollection<object> DetailsViewSelectedItems
{
get { return (ObservableCollection<object>)GetValue(DetailsViewSelectedItemsProperty); }
set { SetValue(DetailsViewSelectedItemsProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty DetailsViewSelectedItemsProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("DetailsViewSelectedItems", typeof(ObservableCollection<object>), typeof(SelectionBehaviour), new PropertyMetadata(null));
protected override void OnAttached()
{
this.AssociatedObject.Loaded += AssociatedObject_Loaded;
}
void AssociatedObject_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
(this.AssociatedObject.DetailsViewDefinition[0] as GridViewDefinition).DataGrid.SelectionChanged += FirstDetailsViewDataGridSelectionChanged;
}
public Object ViewCurrentItem
{
get { return (Object)GetValue(ViewCurrentItemProperty); }
set { SetValue(ViewCurrentItemProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty ViewCurrentItemProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("ViewCurrentItem", typeof(Object), typeof(SelectionBehaviour), new PropertyMetadata(null));
void FirstDetailsViewDataGridSelectionChanged(object sender, GridSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
this.DetailsViewSelectedItem = (e.OriginalSender as SfDataGrid).SelectedItem;
this.DetailsViewSelectedItems = (e.OriginalSender as SfDataGrid).SelectedItems;
this.DetailsViewCurrentItem = (e.OriginalSender as SfDataGrid).CurrentItem;
}
protected override void OnDetaching()
{
this.AssociatedObject.Loaded -= AssociatedObject_Loaded;
}
}
