WPF DataGrid CellEditingTemplate with floating control

I'm using the WPF DataGrid and want to make my own CellEditingTemplate. I want to replicate something like the DatePicker that doesn't replace the whole contents of the cell when its being edited, but instead just floats Like this: http://i3.windowsclient.net/SiteFiles/1000/wpfsp1/wpf-35sp1-toolkit/107-2.png?cdn_id={b4d0570c}

I tried this:

<tk:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <Popup AllowDrop="False" StaysOpen="False" >
            <Canvas Width="100" Height="100" Background="Aqua"/>
        </Popup>
    </DataTemplate>
</tk:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>

but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I was wondering how I could go about making my own control that can be used for a cell editing template.

Thanks, Raul

The default value for the Popup.IsOpen property is False, so that's at least one reason you aren't seeing the popup. Perhaps this will solve your problem:

<DataTemplate>
  <Popup AllowDrop="False" StaysOpen="False" IsOpen="True">
    <Canvas Width="100" Height="100" Background="Aqua"/>
  </Popup>
</DataTemplate>

put a button in your CellTemplate that will respond to your click event and in the click handler you can show some popup from where you will select your values.
