Does anyone know how to do this? I'm really confused on this one, and I honestly need some help. I resorted to using a static variable to get the data to where it needs to be, but I just can't make it work. Here's some more info.
I'm creating an editable DataGrid for the purpose of associating Interest objects with a User object. The Interest object has a realm property which references the id of a Realm object which I've created. I need to basically create these Interest objects on what the user has input in each DataGrid row. As one of my editors, I need a ComboBox which will reference the Realm objects and use each Realm's "name" property for a label, and each Realm's "id" property for a data field, because I ultimately need to pull that info into Interest objects which use a Realm's "id" property as their own "realm" properties. Basically, I just need to supply a list of Realm objects to my itemeditor ComboBox. This is seeming pretty impossible to me at the moment, unfortunately.
