Hi,
It is probably easier to explain the this with an example than describe it in the title...
The problem seems to be one other people have encountered, but unfortunately I've spent at least a day researching without finding a similar solution.
Background
I'm using MVVM and the VM contains an observable collection that is bound to the listview control in .net 4.0.
This collection will have rows that match all but one column value, which I'd like to be presented as a single row with a combo-box to select the individual one the user wants.
Specific Data structure
This collection has data that follows a structure similar to the following table:
itemId | ItemName | OtherItemData | Version |
1 | Test | Data1 | 1.0 |
2 | Test | Data1 | 2.0 |
3 | Test2 | Data2 | 3.0 |
4 | Test2 | Data2 | 3.5 |
5 | Test3 | Data3 | 1.1.0 |
Requirements
1- I would like to create a listview with the following format:
Name (textblock) | Other Data (textblock) | Version (combobox) |
Test | Data1 | 1.0 [v] |
Test2 | Data2 | 3.0 [v] |
Test3 | Data3 | 1.1.0 [v] |
2 - I would like to do that as much as possible through xaml to maintain the view agnostic relationship with the VM, and without building separate observable collections in the VM to store the version relationships to similar rows.
3 - None of the columns can be changed, hence the preference in use of the listview.
User scenario
When the user clicks the [v] on the first row, he/she would be able to select either "1.0", "2.0", or a value that is manually added to the combo items, such as "add new version...", which would eventually lead the user to a dialog where the new version can be created and added to the observable collection.
My question/request
Is there any example that I can follow that does something similar to this?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
