I think the question I'm asking is similar to How to populate a DataGridComboBoxColumn? but mine is from a DataTable instead of a class. I've created a dataset to use as an example. But basically, the column is blank when I load it, but when I select an item from the combo box, it still edits the datatable as expected, but I think I'm missing something to bind the data to the column.
DataTable dt;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
CreateDT();
}
public void CreateDT()
{
dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("Position", typeof(string));
// List for the options in the comboBox
List<string> list = new List<string>()
{
"Position 1",
"Position 2",
"Position 3",
"Position 4",
"Position 5"
};
// datatable
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
dt.Rows.Add("Person A", "Position A");
}
ComboBoxColumn.ItemsSource = list;
RestoreTable.ItemsSource = dt.DefaultView;
}
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// Adding a break point here so I can debug what the datatable looks like after selecting a value
}
With the XAML for it
<Grid>
<DataGrid Name="RestoreTable" AutoGenerateColumns="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" CanUserAddRows="False">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}"/>
<DataGridComboBoxColumn x:Name="ComboBoxColumn"
Header="Position"
SelectedItemBinding="{Binding List}"
SelectedValueBinding="{Binding Position}"
???????/>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
<Button Content="Button" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="703,352,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Click="Button_Click"/>
</Grid>
