DataLoaded timing?

[Nathan]

Hey,

I'm having some trouble with a Telerik RadGridView where I want to be able to tell if the user clicked a checkbox vs. it being set via the binding. This is so I can set a "dirty" status and let them know they have made changes that require saving.

My first approach:
1) Set a loading=true flag when I'm about to bind to my collection of objects
2) Set loading=false in the DataLoaded event
3) on checkbox_checked event, as long as loading=false it is the user, not a binding causing the change in value
This approach did not work. I get the DataLoaded event, and then a short while later I get the checkbox_checked event for any rows that are bound to a "true" value. Is there a reason DataLoaded fires before the checkboxes get checked? I assumed DataLoaded would only fire once all binding/setting of values was complete. Note that I have turned on/off IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem, and also made sure DataLoadMode is Synchronous.

The second approach was to try to trap a mouseup/down event on the checkbox itself, as that way I know it's the user, not a binding changing the value. Unfortunately I do not receive these mouse events (I assume they are gobbled up by the grid?)

Here is the declaration of the Grid in case you can spot a mistake I am making:

<telerikGridView:RadGridView x:Name="dgUserPrefs"
                    DataLoadMode="Synchronous"
                    ColumnWidth="*"
                    AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                    ShowGroupPanel="False"
                    IsFilteringAllowed="False"
                    IsReadOnly="True"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                    CanUserReorderColumns="False"
                    CanUserSortColumns="False"
                    CanUserSelect="True"
                    CanUserResizeColumns="False"
                                  RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"
                                         Margin="3"
                                         IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="False"
                                >
                <telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
                    <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="Shift Type" DataMemberBinding="{Binding SHIFT_TYPE_DESC}" UniqueName="Shift Type"></telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
                    <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn Header="Preference" UniqueName="Preference" HeaderTextAlignment="Center"
                        <telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <CheckBox x:Name="chBoxPriority"
                                     IsChecked="{Binding PRIORITY, Mode=TwoWay}"
                                          Checked="chBoxPriority_Checked"
                                          MouseLeftButtonDown="chBoxPriority_MouseLeftButtonDown"
                                      HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                    </telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn>
                </telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns>
            </telerikGridView:RadGridView>

Any help on this would be appreciated!

Hi Nathan Riske,

You could try to use the CLick event:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Preference" UniqueName="Preference" HeaderTextAlignment="Center">
    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <CheckBox x:Name="chBoxPriority"
                     IsChecked="{Binding Checked, Mode=TwoWay}"
                     Click="chBoxPriority_Click"
                      HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Kind regards,
