Question

I have a DataGrid in WPF. And I am trying to add Buttons to certain cells of the grid, after it is bound to a particular ItemsSource. I have tried to do this in the xaml like this:

<dg:DataGridTemplateColumn x:Name="R1" CanUserReorder="False" IsReadOnly="False">             
    <dg:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <awc:ImageButton Content="Edit" Name="btnEdit" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </dg:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</dg:DataGridTemplateColumn>

However, I want to know as to how I can do this in the code behind. I need this so that I can place Buttons whenever a particular click even takes place. Any help will be highly appreciated.

use this:

DataGridTemplateColumn col1 = new DataGridTemplateColumn();
col1.Header = "MyHeader";
FrameworkElementFactory factory1 = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(CheckBox));
Binding b1 = new Binding("IsSelected");
b1.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
factory1.SetValue(CheckBox.IsCheckedProperty, b1);
factory1.AddHandler(CheckBox.CheckedEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(chkSelect_Checked));
DataTemplate cellTemplate1 = new DataTemplate();
cellTemplate1.VisualTree = factory1;
col1.CellTemplate = cellTemplate1;
dgTransportReqsts.DataGrid.Columns.Add(col1);

I used this to add CheckBox in my DataGridTemplateColumn at runtime.
Hope this helps!!
