CurrentItem does not change

[Dongzhi]

I'm evaluating telerik gridview for the project I'm working on.  I noticed the CurrentItem does not change when I change selections in the grid.  The setter on CurrentItem in the ViewModel only gets triggered at the very first time.  

Here's the definition of the Grid:

<telerik:RadGridView  Name="GroceryGrid"
                     ItemsSource="{Binding GroceryList}"
                     IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
                     AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                     SelectionMode="Multiple"
                     CurrentItem="{Binding CurrentItem, Mode=TwoWay}"
                     SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}"
                     ShowColumnFooters="True"
                     DockPanel.Dock="Top"
                  >

In the ViewModel:

private GroceryItem currentItem;
public GroceryItem CurrentItem

{

    get { return this.currentItem; }

 

    set

    {

        this.currentItem = value;

        base.RaisePropertyChangedEvent("CurrentItem");

    }

}

Please help.  Thanks!

Hello Dongzhi,

This would be the expected behaviour when SelectionMode is set to Multiple. The reason for this behaviour is that the selected rows are added to the collection SelectedItems. Only the first item in this collection is added to SelectedItem which is synchronized with CurrentItem.

In order to update the CurrentItem you will have to subscribe to the SelectionChanged event, during which you can check if there are elements in the properties AddedItems, RemovedItems. These properties are part of the SelectionChangeEventArgs. You should also set IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem to False.


You can see the following snippet for example:

private void clubsGrid_SelectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.SelectionChangeEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.AddedItems.Count != 0)
            {
                this.clubsGrid.CurrentItem = e.AddedItems[0];
            }
            if (e.RemovedItems.Count != 0)
            {
                this.clubsGrid.CurrentItem = e.RemovedItems[0];
            }
        }
