Grid with ObservableCollection ItemsSource: Iterate over records

[Friedrich]

Hi,

I have a Syncfusion WPF grid with an ObservableColletion<T> as data source with columns A, B, and C.  The grid is grouped and sorted by column A, lets say 3 items in the A group and 5 items in the B group and 2 in the C group.   I want to create a command that will iterate through the records in such a way that the first record under A [0-based index=0] is selected first.  Invoking the command again should highlight the first item in group B [index=3].  Invoking it a third time the selection and the selected highlight should move to the first item in the C group [index=8].

In the Xaml I have:
SelectedItem="{Binding Item, Mode=TwoWay}"

I would expect that assigning the SelectedItem in the ViewModel in through code would change the selected item and highlight.  This does not seem to work :(

I then tried to select record with index 3 manually by using
grid.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Row(3));
- while the highlight changes, I don't know how to get a mapping between the model data and the row index required by GridRangeInfo.Row().

Hope you can help,

Best regards,

Friedrich

Hi Friedrich,

 

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

 

We have analyzed your query and you can achieve your requirement by using the following code snippet.

 

Code snippet[C#]:

grid.Model.SelectedRanges.Add(GridRangeInfo.Row(rowindex));

grid.Model.Grid.InvalidateCell(GridRangeInfo.Row(rowindex));

We have prepared a sample based on this and it can be download from the following location.

Sample Location: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/Support/DirectTrac/102493/GridDataControlSample1122105268.zip

Note:

1.       Run the sample.

2.       Click the button AddSelectedRange button to select the first record from group.

And you can map the recordindex and rowindex by using the following code snippet.

Code Snippet[C#]:

//record index from the rowindex

int recordindex = grid.Model.ResolveIndexToRecordPosition(rowindex);

//rowindex from the recordindex

int rowindex = grid.Model.ResolvePositionToIndex(recordindex);

Please let us know if you have any questions.
