How to get CurrentCell value in DataGrid

[ShrutiJaiswal1494]

Hi,

In WPF there is a property called CurrentCell which gives the current cell value of a Datagrid. In Avalonia, I do not see any such property. Is there a way to extract the cell value?

Hi. I created an issue to port this property https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/issues/6095

But it's possible anyway now by traversing visual tree.
Although it's definitely ugly code:

var focused = FocusManager.Instance.Current;
var currentRow = focused?.FindAncestorOfType<DataGridRow>() ?? myDataGrid.FindDescendantOfType<DataGridRowsPresenter>()
    .Children.OfType<DataGridRow>()
    .FirstOrDefault(r => r.FindDescendantOfType<DataGridCellsPresenter>()
        .Children.Any(p => p.Classes.Contains(":current")));
var item = currentRow?.DataContext;

var currentCell = currentRow?.FindDescendantOfType<DataGridCellsPresenter>().Children
    .OfType<DataGridCell>().FirstOrDefault(p => p.Classes.Contains(":current"));

There might be better way to do so, but I haven't spent much time on it
