I have a TextBox DataTemplate

    <DataTemplate x:Key="TextBoxTemplate">
        <StackPanel>
            <Label />
            <TextBox />
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>

And grid defined as

<Grid Margin="10 10 10 10">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="25*"></ColumnDefinition>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="25*"></ColumnDefinition>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="25*"></ColumnDefinition>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="25*"></ColumnDefinition>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding myObservableCollection}"  ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource myItemTemplateSelector}" />
</Grid>

What I'm trying to accomplish is to force this textbox to appear in particular grid's column - with no luck so far.

I tried

    <DataTemplate x:Key="TextBoxTemplate">
        <StackPanel>
            <Label />
            <TextBox Grid.Column="2" />
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>

but it doesn't work. 

<DataTemplate x:Key="TextBoxTemplate">
    <StackPanel Grid.Column="2">
        <Label />
        <TextBox />
    </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>

doesn't work either.

"2" is only for testing, ultimately I would like to use binding there.

Is it possible to do this with DataTemplate (to define in which grid's column I want TextBox to appear)?

I want to end up with TextBoxes placed like this.

So TextBox's position on grid should depend on value from template.

Modifying ItemsControl to appear in particular grid's column

<Grid Margin="10 10 10 10">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="25*"></ColumnDefinition>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="25*"></ColumnDefinition>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="25*"></ColumnDefinition>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="25*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ItemsControl Grid.Column="2" ItemsSource="{Binding myObservableCollection}"  ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource myItemTemplateSelector}" />
</Grid>

is giving me this

enter image description here

which is not what I'm expecting. I want TextBoxes to be put in different columns, based on values from their templates.

  • At the moment whole `ItemsControl`, with all items, takes **one cell** of your `Grid`. It's not clear to me what you're trying to achieve here. – dkozl Jun 18 '14 at 12:17

    @erem Setting `Grid.Column` only effective if the element is direct child of a `Grid` – har07 Jun 18 '14 at 13:06

    You can data bind to the `Grid.Column` and `Grid.Row` Attached Properties as you can see in the [Bind Grid.Row / Grid.Column inside a DataTemplate](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2432847/bind-grid-row-grid-column-inside-a-datatemplate) question, but as @har07 correctly mentioned, it will only work if the element is in a `Grid`. – Sheridan Jun 18 '14 at 13:20
