Using ItemTemplateSelector for ControlPanelItems in RadGridView for WPF

Environment

Property	Value
Product	RadGridView for WPF
Version	2023.2.718

Description

I want to use an ItemTemplateSelector instead of the default ItemTemplate for ControlPanelItems in RadGridView for WPF. Currently, the ControlPanelItems are populated using the ItemTemplate defined in the ItemsControl. I would like to have the flexibility to customize the ControlPanelItems based on the type of control specified in a derived ControlPanelItem.

Solution

To achieve this requirement, you can customize the ControlTemplate of RadGridView. Follow these steps:

1. Find and open the Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.xaml file for the corresponding Telerik theme.
2. Locate the RadGridViewTemplate element and copy it to your project.
3. Replace the ItemTemplate of the PART_ControlPanelItemsControl with an ItemTemplateSelector.
4. Assign the updated ControlTemplate to the RadGridView instance via its Template property.

Notes

• Make sure to test any modifications to the ControlTemplate thoroughly.
• The provided sample project can serve as a starting point for your customization.
