SelectionChanged not firing

[Steve Chadbourne]

I click a row in my grid and SelectionChanged fires.

In the event handler I call UnselectAll()

If I click in the same cell in the same row as before SelectionChanged does not fire. If I click in a different cell in the same row SelectionChanged does fire.

How do I get SelectionChanged to fire when I click in the same cell/row a second time?

I have set SelectionUnit to FullRow and SelectionMode to Single.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Steve,

The reason this happens is because the CurrentCellInfo remains unrefreshed. The solution would be something like: 

void GridView_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangeEventArgs e)

        {

            this.GridView.UnselectAll();

 

            this.GridView.CurrentCellInfo = new GridViewCellInfo(new object(), this.GridView.Columns[0]);
        }

I am a bit puzzled however. What is the point to unselect  all items on selection changed? This causes the event to fire once on the actual selecting, and one more time when you call UnselectAll(). If the goal is to not let the user select you can set the CanUserSelect property to false. Is that the functionality you are looking for?

Hope this helps! Regards,

Thanks Nik. I'll try your solution.

I only call UnselectAll after I grab the SelectedItem and show an edit screen. The reason I do this is to allow the user to select the same row again after it has edited. If I don't do this SelectionChanged will not fire (I believe).
