How to detect if an item in my ObservableCollection has changed

问题

I have a datagrid which is bound to ObservableCollection<Product>. When the grid is updated this automatically updates the Product object in my collection.

What I want to do now is to have some sort of even that is triggered when any object in the collection is updated -or- some sort of binding to the collection that will return true/false depedant on if any Product has been updated.

The overall objective is to have a save button on my main window that is disabled if no changes have been made to my collection and enabled if changes have been made.

I have read into INotifyPropertyChange but I dont see how I can use this to monitor changes on a whole collection.

Additionally, if I implement this interface on my Product class I dont see how my UI can monitor every product in the collection - or can it?

回答1:

Implement INotifyPropertyChanged in your Product class with notification for every property.
Implement INotifyPropertyChanged in your viewmodel.
Add property IsDirty to your ViewModel (with notification through INotifyPropertyChanged.

In your viewmodel, subscribe to CollectionChanged

public YourViewModel()
{
    ...
    YourCollection.CollectionChanged += YourCollection_CollectionChanged; 
    ...
}

private void YourCollection_CollectionChanged(object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs args)
{
    if (args.OldItems != null)
        foreach(var oldItem in args.OldItems)
            oldItem.PropertyChanged -= YourItem_PropertyChanged;

    if (args.NewItems != null)
        foreach(var newItem in args.NewItems)
            newItem.PropertyChanged += YourItem_PropertyChanged;
}

private void Youritem_PropertyChanged(object sender, System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs args)
{
    IsDirty = true;
}

Now you can bind to IsDirty property of your viewmodel, for example, you can bind Button.IsEnabled property directly to it.

Just use the ObservableCollection. It has an event called CollectionChanged. If you register it, you can do what you want. Example:

ObservableCollection<string> strings = new ObservableCollection<string>();
strings.CollectionChanged += new System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler(changed);
strings.Add("Hello");
strings[0] = "HelloHello";

And:

private void changed(object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs args)
{
    //You get notified here two times.
}

The logic needs to go in your Model (Product class). A clean approach would be to expose IsDirty property (backed by field) in your model.

And your ViewModel would have a Command binding with CanSave checking the internal collection, and return true if Any of the item in collection IsDirty=true.

I think subscribing to the PropertyChanged event for each of the objects in your collection and firing this event, for example, in the setter of your objects can work.

However, I think you don't need to do all this to figure out if a cell is changed in your grid. I think you can do something like what they do here instead:
