Hi, I am trying to get a cell value from the selected item of a silverlight datagrid. In the attached code I can get to the properties of the cell and change its forecolor, but I can not get the value of the cell. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? Many thanks in advance for your help!
private void FindDetails_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
DataGrid dataGrid = sender as DataGrid;
int selectedIndex = dataGrid.SelectedIndex;
if (selectedIndex > -1)
{
FindResult findResult = (FindResult)FindDetailsDataGrid.SelectedItem;
DataGridColumn column = dataGrid.Columns[0];
FrameworkElement fe = column.GetCellContent(dataGrid.SelectedItem);
FrameworkElement result = GetParent(fe, typeof(DataGridCell));
if (result != null)
{
DataGridCell cell = (DataGridCell)result;
//changes the forecolor
cell.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
//how to get cell value?
}
}
}
private FrameworkElement GetParent(FrameworkElement child, Type targetType)
{
object parent = child.Parent;
if (parent != null)
{
if (parent.GetType() == targetType)
{
return (FrameworkElement)parent;
}
else
{
return GetParent((FrameworkElement)parent, targetType);
}
}
return null;
}
