SelectionChanged not triggering when SelectedItem not in View

[NoRyb]

Hello

In a situation I set the IsSelected-Property of some RowItems to true. The property "IsSelected" of "GridViewRow" is bound to the grid over DataBinding.

Now I wanted to make sure, that when I select an item from code, which is not visible at this time, it is scrolled into view. So I connected the SelectionChanged-Event of the GridView. The Problem is, the SelectionChanged-Event is only executed, if the item that I'm selecting is already in view! If it's way at the end of the list, the Event is never triggered and so I don't see which item gets selected. As soon as I scroll down and the item jumps into view, the SelectionChanged-Event is triggered.

Any suggestions how I can accomplish this? Things are very losely coupled so I can't just tell the GridView to select the item, it has to operate as soon as one of it's Items has the "IsSelected" property set.

Thanks

Hi NoRyb,

You can use ScrollIntoView and SelectedItem instead - I've attached small example to illustrate you this.

Hello Vlad

Thanks for the example but you use GridView1 in your Button. What you do in your Button I'm doing somewhere else and I use the MVVM-Pattern. I only have access to the ItemViewModels which have the property "IsSelected". This means I cannot use GridView1.XXX to do anything. Is nothing triggered in the GridView when the "IsSelected" property of a Row changes?

Thanks

Hi NoRyb,

I've attached a bit different example to illustrate you how to achieve your goal without depending on grid Name.

All the best,

Hello Vlad

Your example works thanks but what if I want to select multiple Items? I thought the only way was to use the IsSelected-Property of the GridViewRows.

Hello NoRyb,

You can add desired items in SelectedItems property in case of multiple selection.

Hello Vlad

It isn't a DependencyProperty (so it can't be bound with DataBinding), I'll have the problem that I haven't got access to the GridView to set it manually.

Hello NoRyb,

Here is again modified version with multiple selection.
