How do I use the Datagrid.SelectedItem to select a row programmatically?
Do I first have to create a IEnumerable of DataGridRow objects and pass the matching row to this SelectedItem property or how do I do it?
EDIT:
I need to match the cell content of the first columns cell with a TextBox.Text first, before selecting the row.
My code iterates through cells of the datagrid's first column and checks if cell content equals to the textbox.text value and selects the row.
for (int i = 0; i < dataGrid.Items.Count; i++)
{
DataGridRow row = (DataGridRow)dataGrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(i);
TextBlock cellContent = dataGrid.Columns[0].GetCellContent(row) as TextBlock;
if (cellContent != null && cellContent.Text.Equals(textBox1.Text))
{
object item = dataGrid.Items[i];
dataGrid.SelectedItem = item;
dataGrid.ScrollIntoView(item);
row.MoveFocus(new TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.Next));
break;
}
}
