Silverlight 3.0 Custom ListBox DataTemplate has a checkbox, checked event not firing
- by Bhaskar
The datatemplate for the ListBox is set dynamically by XamlReader.Load. I am subscribing to Checked event by getting the CheckBox object using VisualTreeHelper.GetChild. This event is not getting fired
Code Snippet
public void SetListBox()
{
lstBox.ItemTemplate =
XamlReader.Load(@"<DataTemplate xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml' x:Name=""DropDownTemplate""><Grid x:Name='RootElement'><CheckBox x:Name='ChkList' Content='{Binding " + TextContent + "}' IsChecked='{Binding " + BindValue + ", Mode=TwoWay}'/></Grid></DataTemplate>") as DataTemplate;
CheckBox chkList = (CheckBox)GetChildObject((DependencyObject)_lstBox.ItemTemplate.LoadContent(), "ChkList");
chkList.Checked += delegate { SetSelectedItemText(); };
}
public CheckBox GetChildObject(DependencyObject obj, string name)
{
for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(obj); i++)
{
DependencyObject c = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(obj, i);
if (c.GetType().Equals(typeof(CheckBox)) && (String.IsNullOrEmpty(name) || ((FrameworkElement)c).Name == name))
{
return (CheckBox)c;
}
DependencyObject gc = GetChildObject(c, name);
if (gc != null)
return (CheckBox)gc;
}
return null;
}
How to handle the checked event? Please help
