WPF DataGrid cell click

[LAPEC]

Hello Everyone I have this slight problem maybe someone can help me please... I have created a WPF project on VS2010. In this project I have a window with one DataGrid (on the left side of the window), seven TextBoxes, two ComboBoxes and one CheckBox (on the right side of the window). When I run application, on the DataGrid I display only the name of employee from the database. My Question: How can I display all the details of the employee in the textboxes, comboboxes, and checkbox when I click on the cell of the datagrid? Could someone help me on this please I'm new to WPF... Kind Regards to everyone Lapeci

You could consider presenting your data in a ListBox or a ListView and set IsSyncronisedWithCurrentItem="True" using the autamatic Parent Child binding in WPF.

Is any way to do it with datagrid rather then with listbox, and is it possible to show me with some sample code according to my question please... kind regards lapeci

There are two ways to do this: 1. Bind the DataGrid's SelectItem to a property in your ViewModel (or code behind if you're not using MVVM :( ), then in the setter for that property populate properties for the TextBoxes, ComboBoxes etc. This method has the advantage of being able to add a Cancel button. 2. Bind the TextBoxes, ComboBoxes etc to the DataGrid's SelectedItem property. Something like this:

{Binding ElementName=DataGrid1, Path=SelectedItem.TextPropertyName}

This method saves you a bit of coding but doesn't offer an easy way to cancel changes.

I don't know any quick way to do it with Grid, but you can get a very similar look by using a list view - maybe something along these lines: Other than that wait for some one else to come up with the answer. Or read up on Binding.
