WPF Datagrid binding custom column headers

Answer 1

We do something similar in our app.

What i have done is derived my own column type (DataGridSearchableBooleanColumn), then i replace the DataGridColumnHeader template, i put two content presenters in there. the first i bind to the content (the same as the default template) the second i bind to the column. I use a data template for the column (i have a few of them for different search types (text, combo, boolean). then i add the extra properties to the column so i can bind to them. See if this code makes sense.
