Is it possible to add a ComboBox with unique sets of data to each cell of a giving grid, using a datatable?

$
0
0

Sorry if this does not make sense, but I am new to C# and WPF...

I have a case where I need to have a potentially different set of data for any giving cell of a grid...

In the example code I show below, I tried to create a DataTable with a column that is a typeof(ComboBox) and then create and add a ComboBox to the item.

Here is my code:


private void btnFill_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { // Create a new data table DataTable dt = new DataTable(); // Create and add the columns DataColumn c1 = new DataColumn("UserId", typeof(ComboBox)); DataColumn c2 = new DataColumn("Age", typeof(Int32)); DataColumn c3 = new DataColumn("BirthDay", typeof(DateTime)); dt.Columns.Add(c1); dt.Columns.Add(c2); dt.Columns.Add(c3); ComboBox cbo1 = new ComboBox(); cbo1.Items.Add("One"); cbo1.Items.Add("Two"); cbo1.Items.Add("Three"); cbo1.SelectedIndex = 0; // Add your data - one row at a time DataRow newRow = dt.NewRow(); newRow["UserId"] = cbo1; newRow["Age"] = 24; newRow["BirthDay"] = DateTime.Today.AddYears(-24); dt.Rows.Add(newRow);

cbo1.Items.Clear(); cbo1.Items.Add("Four"); cbo1.Items.Add("Five"); cbo1.Items.Add("Six"); cbo1.SelectedIndex = 0; newRow = dt.NewRow(); newRow["UserId"] = cbo1; newRow["Age"] = 74; newRow["BirthDay"] = DateTime.Today.AddYears(-74); dt.Rows.Add(newRow); // Turn off auto column generation grdData.AutoGenerateColumns = true; // Clear current columns grdData.Columns.Clear(); // Bind the grid grdData.ItemsSource = dt.DefaultView; }

The program is executed without any errors, but I just get the object string in the cell I expected to see the combo box:


I have found many examples of people using DataGridComboBoxColumn() object for setting the entire column equal to a combo Box with specific set of inputs, but in my case, the inputs may vary. So I could not figure out how to work that object into my logic.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided!!

Patrick
