The problem i have is:
when i run the application all the checkboxes is checked (which is the default state) but when i uncheck some of them and then swich to another tab all the checkboxes is returning to its original state (Checked).
I tried to simulate this issue without loading the UserControls at runtime (I put two RadGridVIews in the TabControl) and everyting is running OK,
Why this happing and if there is any way to solve this please tell me.

Thank you

Hello Sameh,

You will have to bind the IsChecked property of your check-box to something in your data item to preserve its state. Otherwise, when the grid rows are recreated (tabbing) each check-box will be created from scratch and will be checked as defined in the template.

If this does not make sense or it cannot be implemented for your scenario, please tell us what is the exact goal that you are after and we will try to think of a solution.

Thank you for your reply,
Here is my scenario:
I am preparing a program for a school and i have a (Classes table & Teachers table),
here in this window i want to assign the teachers to the classes, so I am reading the classes table and generating the Tabs regarding to the classes (each class will be represented by a TabItem).
the content of each TabItem will be the UserControl which contains the Teachers Grid, each row in the teachers grid will have a checkbox, then the user will check the Teachers for each class and click save (this will save the all).

Hi Sameh,

I see. Then you should bind the Checkbox to the boolean property that indicates whether a teacher is assigned to class. This will preserve the information between tabbing in and out of a grid. The thing is that each time you switch tabs -- the grid rows are recreated and if you do not update a data source, your changes will be lost. By the way, you can call your "Save" logic automatically between switching tabs. This should help.

Please, do not hesitate to drop me a line if you have any other questions.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much,
I think that if I called the save logic on swiching tabs this will make a conflict for the end user, so i think that i have to put a save button in each of the tabs and the user will save it one by one.
