[Solved] Checkbox column - determine row when checking/unchecking

[Chris]

I have a grid with a CheckBox column (as a custom cell template using the GridViewColumn.CellStyle approach).  When checking/unchecking the checkbox, the BegginingEdit is never fired.  How can I determine that the row is being edited?

The grid has a Checkbox column, a Description column (read-only) and a text column for user entered text.

I need to know which row is being edited (works fine when the user updates the text column but not when the user checks/unchecks the checkbox) and when editing is complete for that specific row.  I want to save the changes to the database only once the row has been edited (ie. when the user finishes editing in the textbox or the user Checks/unchecks the checkbox and moves to a new row).

How can this be done since right now all I have is the Checked event on the checkbox which doesn't fire the BegginingEdit event.  When checking/unchecking a value I can't determine for which row the event is being fired.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Chris,

You can find the row very easily in Checked event using our extension methods:

GridViewRow row = ((CheckBox)sender).ParentOfType<GridViewRow>();

You need to add Telerik.Windows.Controls to use these methods!
