Filter ignoring INotifyPropertyChanged

[Geoff Smith]

Hi,

Should the grid filters update when a row's item implements INotifyPropertyChanged and fires PropertyChanged on a property used as part of a filter?

For example, I have a grid which has a collection (which implements INotifyCollectionChanged) and each item implements INotifyPropertyChanged and fires PropertyChanged when the IsActive property is changed. On the grid I had a filter on the IsActive property. When I enable / disable the filter it works fine, but if the IsActive property changes while the filter is enabled, the row is not then visible. If I disable / re-enable the filter, the row is visible.

Perhaps I need to manually bubble up PropertyChanged events to the collection and fire CollectionChanged?

Thanks,

Geoff

Hi Geoff Smith,

The current view displayed in the grid is not recreated when your property changes. This is by design.

But there is a way to let the grid know. Since the RadGridView.Items collection implements IEditableCollectionView view you can call its BeginEdit method, change the value of your property and then call its EndEdit method. This will invalidate and re-create the view.

Or you can do it with the collection changed as you described. A CollectionChanged with action "Reset' will trick the grid to refresh its view.

Let me know if this does not help or if it is not a viable option. We will try to think of something else.

Kind regards,
