WPF - Format DataGrid column as currency - WPF

Hi,
I have a WPF DataGrid that is populated with data from an access database.
What I want to do is format all cells in a certain column to the currency format (2 decimal places {0:C} i think)
In the access database the format is set to currency and it doesn't show up in the database
Also, is there a way to specify Australian currency so that it rounds to the nearest 5 cents and has 2 decimal places.
I used this to format the Date and time correctly but I am unsure how to format for currency:
private void DgvInventoryData_OnAutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
if (e.PropertyType == typeof (DateTime))
((DataGridTextColumn) e.Column).Binding.StringFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
Thanks for all the help in advance...

Hi,
Thanks for the answer but the Data in the DataGrid is not from Data Binding it is from an access database using SQL queries and OleDb stuff.
I am looking for a solution that is in the C# code because I want the user to be able to change the formatting at their leisure.
So i don't really know how to do the xaml stuff, mainly the C# code

[WPF] Format column text for showing percentage

Hi,
in one column of my DataGrid I show percentage values.
From database, I get the number:
- in view, I would concatenate the char "%"
- in edit, the user add his value and when mouse leaves cell automatically is concatenated the char "%"
How can I implement it?
Thanks.

Replace any DataGridTextColumn with a DataGridTemplateColumn and specify a StringFormat for the TextBlock in the CellTemplate only:
<DataGrid.Columns>

<DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Val, StringFormat='\{0\}%'}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Val}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
</DataGrid.Columns>
Note that the "number" source property must be an int, double, decimal etc. for the StringFormat to get applied.

WPF Data Grid Column Visibility Toggle Issue

I have a WPF control that is used in multiple dialog forms. In one of these, I want to include a checkbox column along with two buttons that fire a method to either include all (check all the boxes) or exclude all (uncheck all the boxes.)
I setup a Boolean variable to control this "IsExcludeVisible"
Here is a snippet of the xaml:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
   <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
   <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
       <common:BaseDataGrid
  Name="grd"
  AutoGenerateColumns="False"
  ItemsSource="{Binding ExcludeRoundingIngredientList}">
   <DataGrid.Columns>
     <DataGridTextColumn Header="Code" Binding="{Binding IngredientNumber}" />
     <DataGridTextColumn Header="Ingredient" Binding="{Binding Name}" />
           <DataGridCheckBoxColumn Header="Exclude"
Visibility="{Binding IsExcludeVisible,
                                     Converter={StaticResource VisibilityConverter}}"
                                   Binding="{Binding MillBatchMixExclude}" />
           <DataGridComboBoxColumn Header="Rounding"
    DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                                SelectedValuePath="RoundingId"
    SelectedValueBinding="{Binding MillBatchMixRoundingId}"
    ItemsSource="{Binding DataContext.RoundingOptions,Source={StaticResource Spy}}" />
     </DataGrid.Columns>
        </common:BaseDataGrid>
  <StackPanel ......
   <Button
    Content="Include All"
                x:Name="btnIncludeAll"
Visibility="{Binding IsExcludeVisible, Converter={StaticResource VisibilityConverter}}"
    csla:InvokeMethod.MethodName="IncludeAll"
    csla:InvokeMethod.TriggerEvent="Click"
    />
   <Button
    Content="Exclude All"
Visibility="{Binding IsExcludeVisible, Converter={StaticResource VisibilityConverter}}"
    csla:InvokeMethod.MethodName="ExcludeAll"
    csla:InvokeMethod.TriggerEvent="Click"
    />
  </StackPanel>
</Grid>...
The button visibility toggles based on the IsExcludeVisible value as expected but the column visibility is totally unaffected.
Am I missing something here (which obviously I am.)
Below is my code to determine the value of the Boolean variable.
public bool IsExcludeVisible
get { return (SelectedReport.Name ==
"Horizontal Batch Mix"); }

I think the best way is to make a label function something
like this (just off the top of my head, not tested):
public function rate_label(item:Object,
column:DataGridColumn):String
return "GBP"+item.prdt_rate;
Then in the DataGridColumn add a property:
labelFunction="rate_label"

Format column for currency

How do you format a column to display currencies ?
$3, 524.32 instead of just 3524.32
The matrix column is bound to a DataTable

Hello
What you can do is to build up the Currency sign into your query when you load the datatable. Otherwise the system will not show the Currency symbol.

How to Format DataTable Column after load Datatable without extra loop ??

How to Format Column after load Datatable without extra loop ??
I dont want to do extra logic which can cause performance thing.
I have datatable which get fill from Dataset after database query, now i need to format column as decimal but without extra logic.
I was thinking to create clone and than Import row loop but it ll kill performance, its WPF application.
Thanks
Jumpingboy

You cannot do any custom things at all without doing some "extra logic". Formatting a number as decimal is certainly not a performance killer in any way whatsoever though.
If you are displaying the contents of the DataTable in a DataGrid you could specify a StringFormat in the XAML:
<DataGrid x:Name="dg1" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Number" Binding="{Binding num, StringFormat=N2}"/>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
Or if you are using auto-generated columns you could handle the AutoGeneratingColumn event:
public MainWindow() {
InitializeComponent();
DataTable table1 = new DataTable();
table1.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("num")
DataType = typeof(decimal)
table1.Rows.Add(1.444444444444);
table1.Rows.Add(7.444444444444);
dg1.ItemsSource = table1.DefaultView;
dg1.AutoGeneratingColumn += dg1_AutoGeneratingColumn;
void dg1_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e) {
if (e.PropertyName == "num") {
DataGridTextColumn column = e.Column as DataGridTextColumn;
column.Binding.StringFormat = "N2";
<DataGrid x:Name="dg1" />

Need help adding image to datagrid column

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to add an image to a datagrid column?
I have created a flex library project which contains a mxml component with a datagrid, an item renderer mxml component which rendered the image within the datagrid column depending on the value coming back from the database for that column and a folder 'assets' which hold all the images. When I add the library to my main project and call the mxml component with the datagrid an image place holder is visible in the datagrid column but not the image. However, if I take the image out of the library project and added to an 'assets' folder in the main project the image is displayed in the datagrid column.
It looks like, even though the images are in the flex library project and only the flex library project is trying to display the images in the datagrid, the library project is looking in the main application project folder for the image.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for an help,
Xander.

I have tried embedding the images in my library but it still didn't work. Also I can't embed the image as I'm using the value of the column to complete the image name, for example in my mxml item renderer component I have the added the following code
<mx:Image source="@Embed(source='assets/' + data.mycolumnvalue + '.png')" tooltip="{data.mycolumnvalue}"/>
but nothing is displayed.

How do I show an image in a DataGrid column?

I'm not sure that this is possible. I would like to show an
image in a datagrid column based on the data that the grid is bound
to. Is there any way to do this? I'm using Beta 3.
Thanks!

Yes, you need a custom itemRenderer. This can be inline or a
custom class.

Center text in Datagrid columns

Hi all,
I need help vertically centering text in a datagrid column.
Does anyone know of a way to do this without custom item
Renderers?

Would really need to see the code to see the extent of the damage Photoshop html has caused. This is a typical problem when exporting html from Photoshop OR trying to assemble the slices into one gigantic table where the cells have been split and merged numerous times which causes distortion.
The idea, looking at your page, would be to insert a simple 3 column x 1 row table into Dreamweaver then insert the components that make up your page into their realtive columns. Using this simple construction method will ensure that all the page elements remain seperate and cannot interact with other element in different cells, which is what is NOT happening in your construction at the moment.

Flex 3: DataGrid Column width on resize

Hello experts,
I am facing an issue with width of DataGrid columns. We are using Flex 3.2.
I am setting the widths for columns in creationComplete handler of DataGrid. When the browser window is resized, say restore down and then maximize,
the column widths are changing. Please find the code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" height="100%" width="100%">

            dataGrid.horizontalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.ON;
            artist.width = dataGrid.width * 0.40;
            album.width = dataGrid.width * 0.50;
            Price.width = dataGrid.width * 0.10;

Is there anything wrong i am doing here? Please help me in resolving this.
Thanks,
Srilatha

Hi Srilatha,
DataGrid width is 100% and the main application width also 100%, So the
DataGrid will try to occupy the whole window, when you do "restore down" &
"maximize" Application width will change.. and it will effect DataGrid and
its columns also. Try to give some fixed width for dataGrid and you can
expect the result.

Dynamic DataGrid columns

How can I get this example to wok with <mx:HTTPService>

Dynamic DataGrid columns
Example of how to dynamically create DataGridColumns
A completely dynamic DataGrid example.
This example uses the xml from the Flexstore example. It
examines the first product node and uses that to create the
definitions for the columns. There is some example logic to change
the columns properties.
It then instantiates the GataGrid and its columns array,
assigns the properties, and then the dataProvider, and then adds
the dataGrid to the application container.
The example is fully self-contained, since a portion of the
catalog.xml file is included in the mxml.

How not to sort datagrid column on double click

Hello,
I am currently building an application containing a datagrid for data representation. I've created a custom datagridheader in order to add a input text for filtering the columns (see code below).
My goal is to hide the textinput, and then show it on a double click on the header. So i would like to know how to avoid the sort of this column each time i double click.?

Based on your idea, i've intercepted the click event and I use stopImmediatePropagation.
THen i added an image to sort the column. So if the image is clicked the sort is ok.

Editable Datagrid Column

I have to make a datagrid column editable during runtime based on the data. If the column has a specific data then the column should not be editable otherwise it should be editable. Can we do it in flex ? please show some pointers.

I don't have any examples , but you should probably have a custom itemrenderer for your datagrid which contains a textarea. In the itemrenderer should override set data( value:Object ):void. In that function you check a condition to see if the textarea "editable" value should be set to true or false. Below I have some pseudo-code.
<s:Itemrenderer>
override public function set data( value:Object ):void
if( object.decidingValue > 0 )
TnA.editable = false;
else
TnA.editable = true;
<s:TextArea id="TnA" />
</s:Itemrenderer>
or you could just put the code in the TextArea declaration
<s:TextArea id="TnA" editable="{data.decidingValue > 0}" />
(TextInput area is probably more appropriate than a textarea , but the logic is the same )
If this response was helpful please mark it as such.
