re: Common Style Issues when using the Theme property

One way to find the ResourceSets is to go into <a href="help.infragistics.com/.../">online help</a> and go down to the 'API Reference Guide' section. Under most of the assemblies you should find an 'Infragistics.Windows.Themes' namespace.

This info is golden; however, I am also having a hard time finding specific ResourceSets in your online documentation. Can you provide any clues?

gfroes, I'm not sure what you mean. If you had an element in the same xaml where you defined the DocumentContentHost, you might set the Name of the DCH and use an ElementName binding (e.g. "{Binding ElementName=dch, Path=ActiveDocument.Header}"). If you wanted to do that from an element within the XamDockManager that may have been created using this method (i.e. not created in xaml) then you would probably go through the xamDockManager (e.g. "{Binding Path=(igDock:XamDockManager.DockManager).Content.ActiveDocument.Header, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}").

Using this approach, if I want a property to be bound to the current active content pane (inside a DocumentContentHost) were would I put it (if possible)?

MB_OK, its best if you post these kinds of questions on the <a href="forums.infragistics.com/.../a>. A quick answer to your question would be it depends. If by 1 cell you mean a specific Cell of a specific Record then you might handle the InitializeRecord event and set the Editor(Type|Style) on the Cell itself. If by 1 cell you mean the cell that is in edit mode (which could be any cell in that field but only ever 1 within that grid) then you could still use this approach and set the RenderDataTemplate to a simple template (e.g. one containing a textblock, etc.) and then set the EditDataTemplate to a datatemplate that contains your custom control.

Hi.

The sample is quite interesting, but custom controls are placed in every row of a column, so when I have, for instance, 10 rows, 10 controls will be displayed. But I need to show my custom control in only one cell of the grid, not in all rows of a column. Could you help me, please?

For each assembly there is a ResourceSet derived class in the Infragistics.Windows.Themes namespace. For DataPresenter that is the DataPresenterResourceSet class (help.infragistics.com/.../2009.2`1.html). This class defines static properties for each styling point in that assembly. In this case you are looking to change the alternate row background which is provided by the DataRecordCellArea so you would want to reference that property. In that same namespace there is a derived class for each theme defined in that assembly (e.g. DataPresenterOffice2k7Black). So in your case the BasedOn would be something like "{x:Static igThemes:DataPresenterOffice2k7Black.DataRecordCellArea}".

Thanks for this.

I'd like to use the BasedOn method to tweak the Theme property styles but I am having difficulties finding the values for the BasedOn bindings.

For example in the last code snippet the BasedOn attribute has a value of "{x:Static igThemes:PrimitivesOffice2k7Black.TabItemEx}".

How do I find the BasedOn value if i want to set the alternate row background in a XamDataGrid for example?

Cheers

David

Try setting the EditorType of the field. E.g. <igDP:FieldSettings EditorType="{x:Type igSamples:ControlHostEditor}">

Florian, I am not able to reproduce that issue. The sample was set up to use 9.2 so if you change that to a different version make sure that you update all the references in the 2 projects. The converter that you seem to be getting an error on is defined in our Infragistics3.Wpf.v8.2 and later assemblies.

Hi Andrew!

Thanks for that article. Unfortunately I am not able to start the sample project. Am I missing something. I get a "XamlParseException":

Cannot convert the value in attribute 'Converter' to object of type 'System.Windows.Data.IValueConverter'. Das Objekt mit dem Typ Infragistics.Windows.Controls.StringFormatConverter kann nicht in den Typ System.Windows.Data.IValueConverter konvertiert werden. Error at object 'System.Windows.Data.Binding' in markup file 'TestWindowsApp;component/window_dockbinding.xaml' Line 56 Position 33.

Any idea,

regards,

Florian

Hi Andrew,

I'm trying to use your sample but I have DataType of my custom class. I have defined the DataTemplate and it binds correctly if I set the Property Template with it. But when I try to use with EditDataTemplate simply it doesn't enter edit mode and I don't get errors of any type (no exceptions, no binding errors). My code is this, can you help me please?

----------DataTemplate---------------

<Label>Enter Id</Label>

<TextBox Name="txtID" Width="60" LostFocus="txtID_LostFocus"

Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=(igControlHostEditor:ControlHostEditor.Editor).Value.Id}">

</TextBox>

<Label>Enter Name</Label>

<TextBox Name="txtName" Width="60"

Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=(igControlHostEditor:ControlHostEditor.Editor).Value.Name}">

</TextBox>

</StackPanel>

</DataTemplate>

-------------------Unbound field----------------

<igDP:UnboundField Name="selector" BindingPath="SubClass1"

DataType="{x:Type my:SubClase1}">

<igDP:Field.Settings>

<igDP:FieldSettings AllowEdit="True">

<igDP:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>

</igDP:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>

</igDP:FieldSettings>

</igDP:Field.Settings>

</igDP:UnboundField>

Thanks in advance

You should probably post your question on the appropriate forum or contact the support group.

Ah perfect. if you could help with binding back to the datasource (see attached) that would make my life much easier.

[Infragistics] Andrew Smith — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:58:57 GMT

The sample uses a TextBox and doesn't set the UpdateSourceTrigger which means its using the default for the TextBox's Text property which is LostFocus. Try setting the UpdateSourceTrigger to PropertyChanged.

<TextBox Text="{Binding

RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self},

Path=(igSamples:ControlHostEditor.Editor).Value,

UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
