CheckedItems doesn't fire CollectionChanged event to update bound objects?

[Rob]

Hello,

I am attempting to element bind a TextBox.Text property to the RadTreeView.CheckedItems collection like the sample below.  I have added a converter just so that I can see if the CheckedItems collection is actually changing but it doesn't appear to be.  Have I done something incorrectly?  The converter never fires after the initial load even though I am checking items.

I noticed a statement in the online documentation (here) "Raised when the CheckedItems change. Currently it is only raised with 'Reset' since the set of items in unordered."  Is this part of the problem?  I would expect that anytime any item is checked/unchecked the event would be raised.

Hello Rob,

Yes, the problem is the one you have mentioned: CollectionChaged of the ChekedItems is raised only Initially. I prepared a sample to workaround this with a ViewModel that uses the Checked event of the RadTreeView. Please give it a try and let me know if it satisfies you or not.

All the best,
