The following page provides a list of examples that demonstrate how to template various elements. For more template-related information, refer to the Templates topic.
Providing a cell-content template
The following example demonstrates how to provide a new CellContentTemplate, using property element syntax, for a boolean column that displays a check mark when the cell's value is true, and an "x" when it is false.
This example assumes that the grid is bound to the Products table of the Northwind database.

<Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
<Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_products"
Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
Path=Products}"/>
</Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="ProductsGrid"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_products}}">

</DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
</xcdg:Column.CellContentTemplate>
</xcdg:Column> </xcdg:DataGridControl.Columns>
</xcdg:DataGridControl>
</Grid> |
Providing a group-header control template
The following example demonstrates how to provide, through a style, a new GroupHeaderControl template.
| XAML |
Copy Code |
<Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
<Grid.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:GroupHeaderControl}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:GroupHeaderControl}"> <Border Background="Orange" BorderThickness="2">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource
TemplatedParent}, Path=Group.IsExpanded}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style> <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
Path=Orders}">
<xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
<xcdg:DataGridGroupDescription PropertyName="ShipCountry"/>
</xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
</xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource>
</Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}"/>
</Grid> |
Providing a data-cell template
The following example demonstrates how to provide, through a style, a new ControlTemplate for the DataCells that will display the cells as buttons.
| XAML |
Copy Code |
<Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
<Grid.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:DataCell}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:DataCell}">
<Button>
<Button.Content>
<ContentPresenter/>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
Path=Orders}"/>
</Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}"/>
</Grid> |
Providing a data-row template
The following example demonstrates how to provide, through a style, a new ControlTemplate for DataRow objects. The columns that are contained in the grid will be limited to those specified in the ItemProperties of the DataGridCollectionViewSource.
This example assumes that the grid is bound to the Employees table of the Northwind database.
| XAML |
Copy Code |
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_employees"
Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
Path=Employees}"
AutoCreateItemProperties="False">
<xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.ItemProperties>
<xcdg:DataGridItemProperty Name="LastName"/>
<xcdg:DataGridItemProperty Name="FirstName"/>
<xcdg:DataGridItemProperty Name="Photo"/>
<xcdg:DataGridItemProperty Name="Title"/>
<xcdg:DataGridItemProperty Name="Notes"/>
<xcdg:DataGridItemProperty Name="EmployeeID"/>
<xcdg:DataGridItemProperty Name="TitleOfCourtesy"/>
<xcdg:DataGridItemProperty Name="HireDate"/>
<xcdg:DataGridItemProperty Name="Extension"/>
</xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.ItemProperties>
</xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="titleLessCell"
TargetType="xcdg:DataCell">
<ContentPresenter Content="{xcdg:CellContentBinding}"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"
ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplateSelector}"/>
</ControlTemplate>
<Style x:Key="customCardViewDataRow"
TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:DataRow}">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:DataRow}">
<Border x:Name="PART_RowFocusRoot"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}">
<Grid>
<StackPanel>
<DockPanel>
<!-- The photo is at the left. -->
<Grid DockPanel.Dock="Left"
Margin="3,4,2,2"
MaxWidth="85"
MaxHeight="85">
<xcdg:DataCell FieldName="Photo"
Template="{StaticResource titleLessCell}"/>
</Grid>
<StackPanel Margin="8,0,0,0">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<xcdg:DataCell FieldName="TitleOfCourtesy"
FontSize="16"
Template="{StaticResource titleLessCell}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" "/>
<xcdg:DataCell FieldName="FirstName"

Template="{StaticResource titleLessCell}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" "/>
<xcdg:DataCell FieldName="LastName"
FontSize="16"
Template="{StaticResource titleLessCell}"/>
</StackPanel>
<xcdg:DataCell FieldName="Title"
FontSize="14"
Template="{StaticResource titleLessCell}"/>
<Border BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="#999999"
Margin="0,2,0,2"/>
<StackPanel x:Name="PART_CellsHost"

</DockPanel>
<Expander Header="Notes"
Padding="5"
TextElement.Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}">
<xcdg:DataCell FieldName="Notes"

</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle"
Value="{x:Null}"/>
</Style>
</Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_employees}}"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource customCardViewDataRow}"
View="CardView">
<xcdg:DataGridControl.Columns>
<xcdg:Column FieldName="Notes"
TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</xcdg:DataGridControl.Columns>
</xcdg:DataGridControl>
</Grid>

Providing an insertion-row template
The following example demonstrates how to provide, through a style, a new InsertionRow template. In order to preserve the fixed-column splitter in the insertion row, we need to use a FixedCellPanel as the "PART_CellsHost" template part.
| XAML |
Copy Code |
<Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
<Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
Path=Orders}"/>
<Style x:Key="insertionrow_style"
TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:InsertionRow}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:InsertionRow}"> <Expander Header="Insert New Data">
<Border BorderBrush="LightBlue"
BorderThickness="0, 1, 0, 1">
<xcdg:FixedCellPanel x:Name="PART_CellsHost"
FixedCellCount="{xcdg:ViewBinding FixedColumnCount, Mode=TwoWay}"
SplitterStyle="{TemplateBinding xcdg:TableView.FixedColumnSplitterStyle}"
SplitterWidth="{xcdg:ViewBinding FixedColumnSplitterWidth}"
ShowSplitter="{xcdg:ViewBinding ShowFixedColumnSplitter}"
FixedColumnDropMarkPen="{xcdg:ViewBinding FixedColumnDropMarkPen}"
Background="LightBlue"/> </Border>
</Expander>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style> </Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}">
<xcdg:DataGridControl.View>
<xcdg:TableView>
<xcdg:TableView.FixedFooters>
<DataTemplate>
<xcdg:InsertionRow Style="{StaticResource insertionrow_style}"/>
</DataTemplate> </xcdg:TableView.FixedFooters>
</xcdg:TableView>
</xcdg:DataGridControl.View>
</xcdg:DataGridControl>
</Grid> |
Formatting a cell's content
The following example demonstrates how to format a cell's content to display a numeric value as a currency value. Although it might be tempting to apply the converter to a column's DisplayMemberBindingInfo, this is not the recommended location as not only will the cells' content be formatted but the data type of the cells' content will be changed to the converter's.
| XAML |
Copy Code |
<Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Xceed.Wpf.Documentation">
<Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orderdetails"
Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
Path=OrderDetails}"/>
<xcdg:CurrencyConverter x:Key="currencyConverter"/>
<DataTemplate x:Key="currency_celltemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource currencyConverter}}"/>
</DataTemplate> </Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrderDetailGrid"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orderdetails}}">
<xcdg:DataGridControl.Columns>
<xcdg:Column FieldName="UnitPrice"
CellContentTemplate="{StaticResource currency_celltemplate}"/> </xcdg:DataGridControl.Columns>
</xcdg:DataGridControl>
</Grid> |
Changing the group-header text
The following example demonstrates how to change the information displayed in each GroupHeaderControl by creating an implicit DataTemplate targeting the Group data type.
| XAML |
Copy Code |
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
Path=Orders}">
<xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
<xcdg:DataGridGroupDescription PropertyName="ShipCountry"/>
</xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
</xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type xcdg:Group}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="The "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Value}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" group contains "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Items.Count}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" items."/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Grid.Resources>
<xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}"/>
</Grid> |
