Do you have any examples where the SyntaxEditor is used as a cell editor in the WPFToolkit DataGrid? Or do you have suggestions on how to go about doing that? Or do you not recommend using SyntaxEditor in that kind of scenario?

Hi Chris,
What sort of thing would you be editing there? It seems like SyntaxEditor could be overkill for most scenarios within a grid. Also we don't yet have a single line edit mode (although that is a planned feature) so your SyntaxEditor instances would be multiline and probably taller than you want.
You should be able to embed a SyntaxEditor using the DataGridTemplateColumn though, which lets you put a SyntaxEditor in a DataTemplate.

I am looking at editing short snippets or rules presented as a table that can be edited right in the grid. Editing directly in the grid would be a convenience factor versus editing the rule/snippet in a separate panel.
Could you please provide a sample of using the DataGridTemplateColumn with a SyntaxEditor in C#?
Hi Jon,
It would be the same as putting any other control within a DataGridTemplateColumn. This URL talks about how to use the column:
http://windowsclient.net/wpf/wpf35/wpf-35sp1-toolkit-datagrid-feature-walkthrough.aspx
Since the columns require data binding for their contained controls, you'd need to activate the data binding features of SyntaxEditor (off by default) by following the steps in the "SyntaxEditor User Interface Features / Input/Output Features / Data Binding" documentation topic.

I am so sorry. I am working in WinForms. I realize this is in the wrong forum. Any advice?
Sorry but we haven't worked with the WinForms DataGrid so unfortunately we don't have any tips for that.
