Hello,

How can i make the selected display appear in the editor box after i select an item, for example if i have a user with userId = 1 , and userFirstname = John, i have SelectedValuePath="userId", DisplayMemberPath="userFirstname" in the dropdown i see john but when i select john and move to another cell i get the userId 1 displayed in the editor box. and i have SelectedValue="{xcdg:CellEditorBinding}" in the ComboBox tag.

Thank you 

You will also need to set create a CellContentTemplate if you want to display a value other than the ID when a cell is not being edited.

Jenny, can you give an example? I have set combo box to dictionary and everything is working ok. When I'm in edit mode I get text instead ID value. I can select and change value. Value is writen in collection. But when cell is not being edited ID (integer) value is shown again. My data template:

<DataTemplate x:Key="pDataTemplate">
  <TextBlock Text="{Binding}"                           
    TextTrimming="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type xcdg:Cell}}, Path=ParentColumn.TextTrimming}"
    TextWrapping="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type xcdg:Cell}}, Path=ParentColumn.TextWrapping}"/>
</DataTemplate>

and in code:

    DataTemplate template = new DataTemplate();
    FrameworkElementFactory factory = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(ComboBox));
    factory.SetValue(ComboBox.ItemsSourceProperty, PList);
    factory.SetValue(ComboBox.DisplayMemberPathProperty, "Value");
    factory.SetValue(ComboBox.SelectedValuePathProperty, "Key");
    CellEditorBindingExtension binding = new CellEditorBindingExtension();
    factory.SetValue(ComboBox.SelectedValueProperty, binding);
    template.VisualTree = factory;

    Column column = this.Table.Columns["p_id_fk"];
    CellEditor cellEditor = new CellEditor();
    cellEditor.EditTemplate = template;
    column.CellEditor = cellEditor;
    column.CellContentTemplate = this.grid1.FindResource("pDataTemplate") as DataTemplate;
    column.CellEditorDisplayConditions = CellEditorDisplayConditions.MouseOverCell;
 

How to set Text binding to get text description instead of ID? I try all sort of things (also with converter) but only in example above I managed to get at least column value (ID). If I set path to some value (ex. column name {Binding Path=p_id_fk} I get all blanks). I've looked at solidFoundation example but I have grid data source in observable collection. I believe I can't use DataTableDictionary class. Is there something like ObservableCollectionDictionary class?

Can you help me please?

Hi, 

If i am binding in code behind not in xaml code like in the ComboBox_Initialized function, if i assign the fields in binding property for the textblock tag i get an error saying that i cant use binding before initialization of the control, so what is the way to do it if i am binding in code behind?

Thanks 

Try the Loaded event instead.
