This has been asked several times with different variations but I can't get any of them to work.
I'm trying to get a method called in my viewmodel when a checkbox (in a datagridTemplateColumn.cellTemplate) is clicked in my view
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding TransactionTypes}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserAddRows="False" x:Name="TransTypesGrid">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Command="{Binding DataContext.UpdateCommand, ElementName=TransTypesGrid}" />
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Transaction Type" Binding="{Binding TransTypeDesc}" />
</DataGrid.Columns>
and in my viewModel
public DelegateCommand UpdateCommand { get; set; }
public myConstructor()
{
this.UpdateCommand = new DelegateCommand(Update);
}
private void Update()
{
//this stuff works, it's just not getting called when a checkbox get's (un)checked
//stuff that goes though the DataGrid's item source's IsSelected property
}
You should use Self
binding in your command binding
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Command="{Binding DataContext.UpdateCommand,RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=Self}}" />
</DataTemplate>
