CSLA 3.7 for Silverlight DataGrid ValidatedDataGridTextColumn Wrapping Issue

Adam posted on Monday, June 21, 2010

Hi
I am looking for a way to wrap text in a ValidatedDataGridTextColumn but cannot find a way to do it. So I have started down the lines of setting up a template column in the datagrid but then I have come unstuck as the statusproperty object doesn't know what to reference, as shown in the code below...

<csla:ValidatedDataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Remarks}" Header="Remarks" Width="150" />
    <data:DataGridTemplateColumn Header ="Remarks">
        <data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate >
            <DataTemplate >
                <StackPanel >
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Remarks}" Width="150" TextWrapping ="Wrap"/>
                </StackPanel >
            </DataTemplate >
        </data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate >
        <data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate >
            <DataTemplate >
                <StackPanel >
                    <TextBox Name="RemarksTextBox" Text="{Binding Path=Remarks}" Width="150" TextWrapping ="Wrap"/>
                    <csla:PropertyStatus RelativeTargetName="RemarksTextBox" Property="Remarks" Source="{Binding Path =Data}" />
                </StackPanel >
            </DataTemplate >
    </data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate >
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn >

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Adam

I have managed to resolve this with setting the mode to twoway as shown below...

<data:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Remarks">
    <data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Remarks}" Width="300" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
    <data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel>
                <TextBox Name="RemarksTextBox" Text="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, Path=Remarks}" Width="300" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
                <csla:PropertyStatus RelativeTargetName="RemarksTextBox" Property="Remarks" Source="{Binding Path=Data}" />
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn>

Hope this helps if anyone else forgets!
