I have a DataGrid
in a WPF form with a DataGridCheckBoxColumn
, but I did not find any click event, Checked and unchecked for it...
Are these events available for the DataGridCheckBoxColumn
? If not please suggest some workaround I could use.

Quoted from William Han's answer here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ar/wpf/thread/9e3cb8bc-a860-44e7-b4da-5c8b8d40126d
It simply adds an event to the column. It is a good simple solution.
Perhaps you can use
EventSetter
as example below:Markup:
<Window x:Class="DataGridCheckBoxColumnTest.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:DataGridCheckBoxColumnTest" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Window.Resources> <local:People x:Key="People"/> </Window.Resources> <Grid> <DataGrid ItemsSource="{StaticResource People}" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Name}" Header="Name"/> <DataGridCheckBoxColumn Binding="{Binding Path=LikeCar}" Header="LikeCar"> <DataGridCheckBoxColumn.CellStyle> <Style> <EventSetter Event="CheckBox.Checked" Handler="OnChecked"/> </Style> </DataGridCheckBoxColumn.CellStyle> </DataGridCheckBoxColumn> </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid> </Grid> </Window>
Code:
using System; using System.Windows; namespace DataGridCheckBoxColumnTest { /// <summary> /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml /// </summary> public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); } void OnChecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { throw new NotImplementedException(); } } } namespace DataGridCheckBoxColumnTest { public class Person { public Person(string name, bool likeCar) { Name = name; LikeCar = likeCar; } public string Name { set; get; } public bool LikeCar { set; get; } } } using System.Collections.Generic; namespace DataGridCheckBoxColumnTest { public class People : List<Person> { public People() { Add(new Person("Tom", false)); Add(new Person("Jen", false)); } } }
Expanding on the DataGridCell concept noted above, this is what we used to get it working.
...XAML...
<DataGrid Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Name="dgMissingNames" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=TheMissingChildren}" Style="{StaticResource NameListGrid}" SelectionChanged="DataGrid_SelectionChanged">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTemplateColumn CellStyle="{StaticResource NameListCol}">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=Checked, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" Name="theCheckbox" />
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=SKU}" Header="Album" />
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Name}" Header="Name" "/>
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Pronunciation}" Header="Pronunciation" />
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
TheMissingChildren is an ObservableCollection object that contains the list of data elements including a boolean field "Checked" that we use to populate the datagrid.
The SelectionChanged code here will set the checked boolean in the underlying TheMissingChildren object and fire off a refresh of the items list. That ensures that the box will get checked off & display the new state no matter where you click on the row. Clicking the checkbox or somewhere in the row will toggle the check on/off.
private void DataGrid_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
DataGrid ThisGrid = (DataGrid)sender;
CheckedMusicFile ThisMusicfile = (CheckedMusicFile)ThisGrid.SelectedItem;
ThisMusicfile.Checked = !ThisMusicfile.Checked;
ThisGrid.Items.Refresh();
}
How about something like this.
partial class SomeAwesomeCollectionItems : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChanged;
protected void OnPropertyChanged(string property)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null) PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property);
}
private bool _IsSelected;
public bool IsSelected { get { return _IsSelected; } set { _IsSelected = Value; OnPropertyChanged("IsSelected"); } }
}
Then in XAML
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SomeAwesomeCollection"} SelectionMode="Single">
<DataGrid.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}"
BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type DataGridRow}}">
<!--Note that you will probably need to base on other style if you have stylized your DataGridRow-->
<Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding Path=IsSelected, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
</Style>
</DataGrid.Resources
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridCheckBoxColumn Binding="{Binding Path=IsSelected, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<!--More Columns-->
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
One note with this approach, however, is you may run into issues with virtualization and checked items not clearing (not sure, haven't tested with SelectionMode="Single"). If that is the case, the simplest workaround I have found to work is to turn virtualization off, but perhaps there is a better way to get around that particular issue.
<wpf:DataGridCheckBoxColumn Header="Cool?" Width="40" Binding="{Binding IsCool}"/>
