Infragistics XamDataGrid AllowEdit property binding not working

Question

In my XAML I'm trying to bind AllowEdit of my XamDataGrid to a property

<igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldSettings>
  <igDP:FieldSettings AllowEdit="{Binding Path=DataItem.Approved}"/>
</igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldSettings>

But it doesn't work. All other bindings work fine. Any ideas? I'm new to WPF so any help would be appreciated

The fields aren't part of the visual or logical trees so the bindings will fail. You can find a workaround to this here: http://blogs.infragistics.com/blogs/josh_smith/archive/2008/06/06/binding-a-xamdatagrid-field-property.aspx — alhalama, Feb 07 '12 at 00:50

I use a style to get around this limitation, e.g.:

<igWPF:Field Name="SomeValue">
    <igWPF:Field.Settings>
    <igWPF:FieldSettings EditorType="{x:Type igWPF:XamNumericEditor}">
        <igWPF:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type igWPF:XamNumericEditor}">
            <Setter Property="IsReadOnly" Value="{Binding DataItem.IsReadOnly}" />
        </Style>
        </igWPF:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
    </igWPF:FieldSettings>
    </igWPF:Field.Settings>
</igWPF:Field>

I usually used a style to achieve this as in @larsmona's answer above. Recently I learned about using CellBindings and FieldBindings to achieve this.

http://help.infragistics.com/Help/Doc/WPF/2014.2/CLR4.0/html/xamDataPresenter_Binding_Cell_Settings_Data_Item_Properties.html

<igDP:Field Name="SomeName" Row="0" Column="1" Label="SomeLabel" AllowEdit="True">
  <igDP:Field.CellBindings>
   <igDP:CellBinding Target="Editor" Property="IsReadOnly" Binding="{Binding DataItem.SomeProperty}"></igDP:CellBinding>
  </igDP:Field.CellBindings>
</igDP:Field>

Apparently you (still.....) cannot bind this property: http://www.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/10907.aspx sigh...

Perhaps you're binding to ObservableCollection? If that's the case, you can't edit your items. You can try bind to BindingList instead.
