I'm trying to get a DataGridTextColumn
to only allow upper casing.
The obvious approach would be to set CharacterCasing
to Upper
for the EditingElementStyle
TextBox
. This works great as long as you enter edit mode before starting to type but if you start typing when the cell isn't in edit mode then the first character entered in the TextBox
is lower case (after this, when the cell has entered edit mode, everything works as expected).
I have a feeling this is a bug or am I missing something with the assumption that setting CharacterCasing
to Upper
should do the trick? Does anybody have a fix or workaround for this?
The problem can be reproduced like this. Just put the keyboard focus in the first cell in the DataGrid
and press a without entering edit mode first. Looks like this
MainWindow.xaml
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding MyList}"
AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Test Character Casing"
Binding="{Binding Name}">
<DataGridTextColumn.EditingElementStyle>
<Style TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="CharacterCasing" Value="Upper"/>
</Style>
</DataGridTextColumn.EditingElementStyle>
</DataGridTextColumn>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
MainWindow.xaml.cs
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
MyList = new List<MyItem>();
MyList.Add(new MyItem { Name = "" });
MyList.Add(new MyItem { Name = "" });
this.DataContext = this;
}
public List<MyItem> MyList { get; set; }
}
public class MyItem
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
I'm pretty sure this is a bug and I created a workaround using an Attached Behavior. Instead of setting CharacterCasing="Upper"
, I use behaviors:TextBoxUpperCaseBehavior.IsEnabled="True"
.
<Style TargetType="TextBox" x:Key="dataGridUpperCaseTextBoxStyle">
<Setter Property="behaviors:TextBoxUpperCaseBehavior.IsEnabled" Value="True"/>
</Style>
TextBoxUpperCaseBehavior
public static class TextBoxUpperCaseBehavior
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsEnabledProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsEnabled",
typeof(bool),
typeof(TextBoxUpperCaseBehavior),
new UIPropertyMetadata(false, OnIsEnabledChanged));
[AttachedPropertyBrowsableForType(typeof(TextBox))]
public static bool GetIsEnabled(TextBox comboBox)
{
return (bool)comboBox.GetValue(IsEnabledProperty);
}
public static void SetIsEnabled(TextBox comboBox, bool value)
{
comboBox.SetValue(IsEnabledProperty, value);
}
private static void OnIsEnabledChanged(DependencyObject target, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
TextBox textBox = target as TextBox;
if ((bool)e.NewValue == true)
{
textBox.CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Upper;
textBox.TextChanged += textBox_TextChanged;
}
else
{
textBox.CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Normal;
textBox.TextChanged -= textBox_TextChanged;
}
}
private static void textBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
TextBox textBox = sender as TextBox;
if (textBox.Text.ToUpper() != textBox.Text)
{
textBox.Text = textBox.Text.ToUpper();
}
}
