Selection Modes

This sample application allows you learn about and experiment with the different selection mode options. It specifically demonstrates how to:

• Create DataTemplates that are used as the cell-content templates for various columns (see CellContentTemplate property)
• Make the grid read-only (see ReadOnly property)
• Handle the SelectionChanged event
• Manually define columns (see Columns property and Column class)
• Configure various column settings including:
  • Changing the title that is displayed in the column headers (see Title class)
  • Preventing grouping, sorting, and filtering (see AllowGroup, AllowSort, and AllowFilter properties)
  • Changing the width (see Width property)
  • Changing how the cell content is displayed by providing a new DataTemplate (see CellContentTemplate property)
  • Providing a custom group description (see DataGridGroupDescription class) that defines, though its associated group configuration (see DataGridGroupConfiguration class) how the group value is displayed in the group headers (see GroupValueTemplate property)
  • Hiding a column (see Visible property)
• Add a notification control (see NotificationControl class) to the fixed footer section (see FixedFooters property)
• Change the selection mode (see SelectionMode property)
• Use the BeginGetSelectedItems and EndGetSelectedItems methods to retrieve the selected items and their count
• Clear selection ranges (see SelectionRanges property)

Programmatic Selection

This sample demonstrates how to select items programmatically. It specifically demonstrates how to:

• Create DataTemplates that are used as the cell-content templates for various columns (see CellContentTemplate property)
• Make the grid read-only (see ReadOnly property)
• Manually define columns (see Columns property and Column class)
• Configure various column settings including:
  • Changing the title that is displayed in the column headers (see Title class)
  • Preventing grouping, sorting, and filtering (see AllowGroup, AllowSort, and AllowFilter properties)
  • Changing the width (see Width property)
  • Changing how the cell content is displayed by providing a new DataTemplate (see CellContentTemplate property)
  • Providing a custom group description (see DataGridGroupDescription class) that defines, though its associated group configuration (see DataGridGroupConfiguration class) how the group value is displayed in the group headers (see GroupValueTemplate property)
  • Hiding a column (see Visible property)
• Add a notification control (see NotificationControl class) to the fixed footer section (see FixedFooters property)
• Clear selection ranges (see SelectionRanges property)
• Create a selection range that selects all the items (see SelectionRange.All property)
• Create a variety of selection ranges using the appropriate constructors (see Selecting Data topic)
