I'm trying to bind a CheckBox to a field but also trigger the checkbox's IsSelected.
Here is the ListBox setup that is working with the Binding to data
<ListBox x:Name="lstExclude" Grid.Column="2" SelectionMode="Single" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Content="{Binding Text}"
IsChecked="{Binding Checked ,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
And here is the code associated with the binding
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
List<CheckBoxListItem> items1 = new List<CheckBoxListItem>();
items1.Add(new CheckBoxListItem(true, “home”));
items1.Add(new CheckBoxListItem(false, “work”));
items1.Add(new CheckBoxListItem(true, “cell”));
lstExclude.ItemsSource = items1;
}
public class CheckBoxListItem
{
public bool Checked { get; set; }
public string Text { get; set; }
public CheckBoxListItem(bool ch, string text)
{
Checked = ch;
Text = text;
}
}
This binds the checkbox checked value correctly, but if I click the checkbox (checked or unchecked), I want it to select the item, so I tried doing it this way
<ListBox x:Name="lstExclude" Grid.Column="2" SelectionMode="Single" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Content="{Binding Text}"
IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ListBoxItem}, Path=IsSelected}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
So this gives me the results of clicking the checkbox (check or uncheck) and it will select the item. The problem is now the Checked field is not bound when I add the items.
How can you get the checkbox to be both bound to the Checked field AND still have the IsSelected work?
