cancel selectionchanged on RadMulticolumncombobox

[Stijn]

I'm not sure if it's possible but what i want to achieve is when a user changes the selecteditem they get a question it they are sure if they want to change the selection. If they say ok, no problem, but in the other cases i want to 'cancel' the selectionchanged and keep the currently selecteditem.

I can stop the event with the e.handled = true but it still changes the selected item.

Is there anything i can do to reach this behaviour?
I've seens there is no cancel on the evenArgs so that's not an option.

Hello Stijn,

To achieve the desired result, you could subscribe to the SelectionChanging event of the RadGridView element, which is shown when the drop-down menu is opened. This could be done by adding a Style with TargetType="RadGridView" to the Resources collection of the MultiColumnComboBox element, with an EventSetter for the mentioned property. In the generated method, you could create a new MessageBoxResult instance, and if the returned value of the MessageBox.Show method is MessageBoxResult.No, set the e.Cancel property to True. By setting this property to true, the selection will be canceled.

The following code snippets show this suggestion's implementation:

<telerik:RadMultiColumnComboBox.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:RadGridView">
        <EventSetter Event="SelectionChanging" Handler="RadGridView_SelectionChanging"/>
    </Style>
</telerik:RadMultiColumnComboBox.Resources>

private void RadGridView_SelectionChanging(object sender, SelectionChangingEventArgs e)
{
    var gridView = (RadGridView)sender;

    MessageBoxResult result = MessageBox.Show("Continue change?", "Change Confirmation", MessageBoxButton.YesNo);

    if (result == MessageBoxResult.No)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        return;
    }

    gridView.SelectedItem = e.AddedItems[0];
}

With that said, I have attached a sample project, so, could you give it a try?

i found an alternative workaround but i'll sure give this a go as this is a much cleaner and faster approach
