Background.
I am developing a stock trading application. Which, obviously, have a market watch. I develop this market with help Datagrid.
What does the grid do? It displays stock price points. Each time the stock value increases, a particular cell priority turns green; if it decreases, it turns red.
What I've done? I tried using the method of converting values and multi-binding
Problem. The value converter gives only the current value. How can I pass the old value to this converter.
the code:
<wpfTlKit:DataGrid.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type wpfTlKit:DataGridCell}">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource myHighlighterConverter}"
>
<MultiBinding.Bindings>
<Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource Self}"></Binding>
<Binding Path="Row" Mode="OneWay"></Binding>
<Binding ElementName="OldData" Path="Rows"></Binding>
</MultiBinding.Bindings>
</MultiBinding>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</wpfTlKit:DataGrid.CellStyle>
Converter
public class HighlighterConverter : IMultiValueConverter
{
#region Implementation of IMultiValueConverter
public object Convert(object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
if (values[1] is DataRow)
{
var cell = (DataGridCell)values[0];
var row = (DataRow)values[1];
var columnName = cell.Column.SortMemberPath;
if (row[columnName].IsNumeric() && row[columnName].ToDouble() == 1.0)
return new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightSalmon);
}
return SystemColors.AppWorkspaceColor;
}
public object[] ConvertBack(object value, Type[] targetTypes, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new System.NotImplementedException();
}
#endregion
}
public static class Extensions
{
public static bool IsNumeric(this object val)
{
double test;
return double.TryParse(val.ToString(), out test);
}
public static double ToDouble(this object val)
{
return Convert.ToDouble(val);
}
}
