Question

I am working on displaying rows which are grouped on WPF DataGrid

Group Header which I am currently displaying is a TextBlock, and the text displayed on the TextBlock is not selectable.

How can I make TextBlock text selectable so that I can copy the value.

Following is the XAML.

I am using following code to Bind data to the grid and group the data.

Entity:

public class AverageCounter
{
    public string CounterName { get; set; }
    public string Role { get; set; }
    public string RoleInstance { get; set; }
    public decimal CounterAverageValue { get; set; }
}

Code to Bind and Group.

var results = new ListCollectionView(queryResultSet);

if (results.GroupDescriptions != null)
{
    results.GroupDescriptions.Add(new PropertyGroupDescription("CounterName"));
}

dataGrid1.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
dataGrid1.ItemsSource = results;

XAML:

<Window x:Class="CheckPerfromanceCounters.MainWindow" 
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

                                            <ItemsPresenter />

                                </Setter.Value>
                            </Setter>
                        </Style>

            </DataGrid.GroupStyle>

Use TextBox with IsReadOnly ="True" but also set the binding mode to oneWay :

Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource avgConverter}, Mode=OneWay}"
