Retrieving a Reference to an Item in a Header or Footer Section

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve a reference to an InsertionRow that is located in the fixed headers of a grid by handling its Loaded event.

tip

The sender in the Loaded event handler will be the InsertionRow and can be cast as such.

XAML

  <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}" />
    </Grid.Resources>
    <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
                          ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}">
        <xcdg:DataGridControl.View>
          <xcdg:TableView>
            <xcdg:TableView.FixedHeaders>
                <DataTemplate>
                  <xcdg:InsertionRow Loaded="InsertionRow_Loaded"/>
                </DataTemplate>
            </xcdg:TableView.FixedHeaders>
          </xcdg:TableView> 
        </xcdg:DataGridControl.View>
    </xcdg:DataGridControl>    
  </Grid>

C#

  private void InsertionRow_Loaded( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e )
  {
    InsertionRow insertionRow = sender as InsertionRow;
    if( insertionRow != null )
    {
        // Your code here
    }
  }

VB.NET

  Private Sub InsertionRow_Loaded( ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs )
    Dim insertionRow As InsertionRow = TryCast( sender, InsertionRow )
    If Not insertionRow Is Nothing Then
        ' Your code here
    End If
  End Sub
