In WPF's DataGrid control, if you set a column to one of the default column types (like DataGridTextColumn or DataGridCheckBoxColumn), sort on that column, and then change its value, the grid will automatically be re-sorted.
However, if you use a DataGridTemplateColumn (and allow the column to be sorted), it can be sorted, but changing the value of a cell in this column does not cause the grid is not re-sorted. How can I coax it into automatically triggering a re-sort?
XAML:
<DataGrid Name="grid" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="First name" Binding="{Binding First}"/>
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Last name" SortMemberPath="Last">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Last}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>Binding:
ObservableCollection items = new ObservableCollection();
grid.ItemsSource = items;
items.Add(new Character() { First = "Homer", Last = "Simpson" });
items.Add(new Character() { First = "Kent", Last = "Brockman" });
items.Add(new Character() { First = "Montgomery", Last = "Burns" });Here's my item class, just in case that's relevant:
public class Character : INotifyPropertyChanged {
private string first, last;
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void Notify(string name) {
if (PropertyChanged != null)
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(name));
}
public string First { get { return first; } set { first = value; Notify("First"); } }
public string Last { get { return last; } set { last = value; Notify("Last"); } }
}
