Hi,

 I am trying to replace the default appearance of the ColumnMangerCell by providing a ContentTemplate. The code looks like this:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:ColumnManagerCell}">

<!--<EventSetter Event="MouseDown" Handler="Column_MouseDown" /> does not work why?-->

<EventSetter Event="PreviewMouseDown" Handler="Column_MouseDown" />

<Setter Property="ContextMenu" Value="{StaticResource cm}" />

<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">

<Setter.Value>

<DataTemplate>

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

<TextBlock Text="+" Margin="0,0,3,0" />

<ContentPresenter />

</StackPanel>

</DataTemplate>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

The new appearance is never shown. Any ideas why?

 BR

We had the same problem, here is a workaround:

create a global ResourceDictionary with an associated CodeBehind file

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/92100/is-it-possible-to-set-code-behind-a-resource-dictionary-in-wpf-for-event-handli

//////////////////////////////////  XAML  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

<!-- Template for a multiline ColumnHeader -->

<DataTemplate x:Key="columnManagerContentTemplate">
        <TextBlock    Text="{Binding}"
                    TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                    VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</DataTemplate>

 <!-- Implicit style for a ColumnManagerCell -->

<Style TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:ColumnManagerCell}">
        <EventSetter Event="Loaded" Handler="ColumnManagerCell_Loaded"/>
</Style>

//////////////////////////////////  CodeBehind //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 

private void ColumnManagerCell_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ColumnManagerCell columnManagerCell = sender as ColumnManagerCell;
    if (columnManagerCell != null)
    {
        if (columnManagerCell.ContentTemplate == null)
        {
            columnManagerCell.ContentTemplate = this["columnManagerContentTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
        }
    }
}
