Question

I’ve run into a bit of a problem. I’ve created a DataTemplate and put it into App.xaml and I’d like to use it to style my CheckBoxes within a dozen or so ListViews I have. The particular ListViews each have at least one column with a bool value.

Here’s the DataTemplate I made:

<DataTemplate x:Key="checkBoxDataTemplate">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

        <CheckBox Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Style="{StaticResource DataGridCheckBox}" IsChecked="{WhatDoIPutHere?}" />
    </Grid>
</DataTemplate>

And I’m trying to use it to replace this:

<GridViewColumn Header="Discovery Date">
    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <CheckBox Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Style="{StaticResource DataGridCheckBox}" IsChecked="{Binding CaseProperty.DiscoveryDate, Mode=OneWay, Converter={StaticResource booleanConverter},ConverterParameter='datetime'}" />
         </DataTemplate>
     </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>

As you can see, I have IsChecked bound to a specific property of an object attached to my ListView. If I replace it with my template, how do I bind to the IsChecked property of CheckBox in the DataTemplate?

Thanks in advance,
Sonny

I’ve since abandoned this approach. I don’t think DataTemplates are designed to work in this way… oh well…
