Code sample for the WPF DataGrid.CellStyle topic
At the deadline for Visual Studio 10 Beta 1 content complete, I was madly trying to check in art and code for the DataGrid APIs. I thought I got it all in but failed to click submit to actually finish uploading the code for CellStyle. So if you are interested, here is a little sample code. Using styles in DataGrid is an amazingly powerful way to accomplish a lot without writing much code.
The following example uses a trigger to change the Background color of a DataGridCell when the cell is selected.
<DataGrid Name="DG1" ItemsSource="{Binding}" SelectionUnit="Cell" >
<DataGrid.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="DataGridCell" >
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="SeaGreen"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</DataGrid.CellStyle>
</DataGrid>
The ItemsSource is an ObservableCollection of Animal objects:
public class Animal
{
public Animal()
{
}
public Animal(string name)
{
Name = name;
}
public string Name { get; set; }
}
This code produces the following output.
