I want a cell in my datagrid to contain and edit field AND a small button beside it in the same cell to the right. So far I've got the button there, but not sure how to get both there.  I need to do this in code. So far I have this for my button. Thanks for your help. Colleen

FrameworkElement myButton = new Button();
myButton.Width = 23;
myButton.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;FrameworkElementFactory buttonFactory = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(Button));
buttonFactory.SetValue(Button.WidthProperty, myButton.Width);
buttonFactory.SetValue(Button.HorizontalAlignmentProperty, myButton.HorizontalAlignment);

 

ControlTemplate templButton = new ControlTemplate();
FrameworkElementFactory rootButton = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(Border));

rootButton.AppendChild(buttonFactory);
templButton.VisualTree = rootButton;
c1DataGrid1.Columns[0].ItemCellEditContentTemplate = templButton;

I found my answer for anyone looking for the same. I needed to create a StackPanel instead of a border attached to the cell:

//Button and field in same cell

TextBox myText = new TextBox();

myText.Width = 50;

myText.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;

FrameworkElementFactory textFactory = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(TextBox));

textFactory.SetValue(TextBox.WidthProperty, myText.Width);

textFactory.SetValue(TextBox.HorizontalAlignmentProperty, myText.HorizontalAlignment);

Button myButton = new Button();

myButton.Width = 23;

myButton.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;

myButton.Margin = new Thickness(10, 0, 0, 0);

FrameworkElementFactory buttonFactory = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(Button));

buttonFactory.SetValue(Button.WidthProperty, myButton.Width);

buttonFactory.SetValue(Button.HorizontalAlignmentProperty, myButton.HorizontalAlignment);buttonFactory.SetValue(Button.MarginProperty, myButton.Margin);

 

StackPanel stackPanel = new StackPanel();

stackPanel.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;

 

FrameworkElementFactory rootPanel = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(StackPanel));rootPanel.SetValue(StackPanel.OrientationProperty, stackPanel.Orientation);

rootPanel.AppendChild(textFactory);

rootPanel.AppendChild(buttonFactory);

templButton.VisualTree = rootPanel;

c1DataGrid1.Columns[0].ItemCellEditContentTemplate = templButton;
