Adding a Button to a WPF DataGrid

Question

I want to create a DataGrid control in WPF in which there is a button in the first cell of each row. Clicking this button will show RowDetailsTemplate

Answer 1

First create a DataGridTemplateColumn to contain the button:

   
     
      Details 
     
   

When the button is clicked, update the containing DataGridRow's DetailsVisibility:

void ShowHideDetails(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    for (var vis = sender as Visual; vis != null; vis = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(vis) as Visual)
    if (vis is DataGridRow)
    {
        var row = (DataGridRow)vis;
        row.DetailsVisibility = 
        row.DetailsVisibility == Visibility.Visible ? Visibility.Collapsed : Visibility.Visible;
        break;
    }
}
