Hi,
I want to have a tabular structure with only a couple of fields, but i want one of the fields to display the data as a progress bar. Is there any quick way of embedding a standard windows progressbar into the column?
Thanks
In my experience, there is no EASY way to add various Controls into DataGrid columns. I've seen two approaches. One is to "fake" a DataGrid and use other controls to mimic the dataGrid look and experience (potentially a lot of work depending on your plans for the datagrid).
The other is to implement your own DataGridColumnStyle. The MSDN article shows you how to do that. i would recommended downloading the code and walking through the ProgressDataGridColumnStyle to see how to implement your own.

I only require a very simple table structure, it doesnt have to be sorted or anything. I want to use it to display search results, with a progress bar which represents how much they match, then allow the user to select one row.
I think i'm going to have to implement the whole thing by my self.
I havent done much control creation before, so i'm thinking for this that i'll actually need two controls. One to represent a row, using textboxes and a progress bar etc, and another to collect any number of rows together in a table. Am i right in thinking this is the bestway to go with this do you think?
Cheers for any help
