WPF Triggers

Question

I'm trying to set a trigger to display a block of text when the value i get for the cell is a certain type.

I have successfully managed to display an image in the same situation, but in this circumstance i don't want an image, but some text.

Have commented out lines in order to test.try to make it work. The commented out code works ! The textblock text=xxx inside it, doesn't.

This is my attempts(s)

<wpfToolkit:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="P" Width="20">
    <wpfToolkit:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <!-- <DataTemplate.Triggers> -->
            <!-- <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding PrecedenceIndicator}" Value="1"> -->
            <TextBlock Text="XXX" />
            <!-- </DataTrigger> -->
            <!-- <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding PrecedenceIndicator}" Value="2"> -->
            <!-- <Setter TargetName="cablePrecedenceIndicatorImage" Property="Source" Value="Resources\Images\small_exclamation_mark.png"/> -->
            <!-- </DataTrigger> -->
            <!-- </DataTemplate.Triggers> -->
        </DataTemplate>
    </wpfToolkit:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</wpfToolkit:DataGridTemplateColumn>

Answer 1

Set the content of the DataTemplate to the TextBlock and set the visibility based on the trigger. I'm not sure what the second DataTrigger is for because it is referring to a target name that does not exist in the current scope, so I don't know how this fits in.

<DataTemplate>
    <TextBlock x:Name="block" Text="XXX" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
    <DataTemplate.Triggers>
        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding PrecedenceIndicator}" Value="1">
            <Setter TargetName="block" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
        </DataTrigger>
        <!--<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding PrecedenceIndicator}" Value="2">
            <Setter TargetName="cablePrecedenceIndicatorImage" Property="Source" Value="Resources\Images\small_exclamation_mark.png"/>
        </DataTrigger>-->
    </DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
