Knockout checkbox change event sends old value

Question

I\'m having a problem with knockout \"checked\" binding. It seems that \"change\" event at checkbox return old value, before it is updated(so if it was unchecked it will return

Try using subscribe instead of event binding. This should work now

var Category = function (Id, Name, Order, ShowOpened) {
    this.Id = Id;
    this.Name = Name;
    this.Order = Order;
    this.ShowOpened = ko.observable(ShowOpened);
    this.IsUpdated = false;

    this.OldOrder = Order;
    this.OldShowOpened = ShowOpened;

    this.ShowOpened.subscribe(function (newShowOpened) {
        if(this.Order != this.OldOrder || this.ShowOpened() != this.OldShowOpened)
            this.IsUpdated = true;
        else
            this.IsUpdated = false;
    }, this);
};
var ViewModel = {
    Categories: ko.observableArray([])
};
ko.applyBindings(ViewModel);
Or as alternative (and in my opinion a better solution) you can use dependentObservable, now called computed. Here's how it would look like

var Category = function (Id, Name, Order, ShowOpened) {
    this.Id = Id;
    this.Name = Name;
    this.Order = Order;
    this.ShowOpened = ko.observable(ShowOpened);
    this.OldOrder = Order;
    this.OldShowOpened = ShowOpened;
    this.IsUpdated = ko.computed(function () {
        return this.Order != this.OldOrder || this.ShowOpened() != this.OldShowOpened;
    }, this);
};
var ViewModel = {
    Categories: ko.observableArray([])
};
ko.applyBindings(ViewModel);
