How to enable the button in GridTemplateColumn when mouse hovering in WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid)?
You can show the button in template column, only when mouse over the row based on the IsMouseOver property of row control (VirtualizingCellsControl) in WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid).
In the below code snippet, the visibility of button inside template column is changed based on the IsMouseOver property of VirtualizingCellsControl via converter.
XAML
<Window.Resources>
<local:ViewModel x:Key="viewmodel"/>
<local:BoolToVisibilityConverter x:Key="boolToVisibilityConverter"/>
</Window.Resources>
<!--Binding IsMouseOver property and Converter to the Visibility property of Button-->
<Syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Content="Click"
Syncfusion:FocusManagerHelper.FocusedElement="True"
Visibility="{Binding Path=IsMouseOver,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,
AncestorType=Syncfusion:VirtualizingCellsControl},
Converter={StaticResource boolToVisibilityConverter }}" >
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
</Syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
C#
public class BoolToVisibilityConverter: IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, System.Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
if ((bool)value)
return Visibility.Visible;
return Visibility.Collapsed;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, System.Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new System.NotImplementedException();
}
}
In the below screen shot, button visible only when mouse the row in DataGrid and for other rows its collapsed.
