Question

I have some code that does

<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
    <Setter Property="XX" Value="true" />
</Style>

This works as expected on ListViews. However I want to replace the ListView with a DataGrid, and having trouble finding the equivalent of a ListViewItem for the Datagrid. At first thought I expected Datagrid items to inherit from ListView, so that nothing had to be changed, but the Setter had no effect. Then I changed it to:

<Style TargetType="DataGridRow">
    <Setter Property="XX" Value="true" />
</Style>

But it had also no effect. And DataGridItem or DataGridViewItem does not exist, so i’m running out of options. So, what TargetType do I need?

Answer 1

You can set generic styles on DataGridRow, DataGridColumn or DataGridCell. Which one you use depends on what setter you are setting.

<DataGrid>
    <DataGrid.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
            <Setter Property="IsReadOnly" Value="True" />
        </Style>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Green" />
        </Style>
    </DataGrid.Resources>

</DataGrid>
