Why ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex() returns null and how to avoid this behavior?

问题

I'm using this snippet to analyze the rows I've selected on a datagrid.

for (int i = 0; i < dgDetalle.Items.Count; i++)
{
    DataGridRow row = (DataGridRow)dgDetalle.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(i);
    FrameworkElement cellContent = dgDetalle.Columns[0].GetCellContent(row);
    // ... code ...
}

The cycle runs smoothly, but when processing certain indexes, the second line throws a null exception. MSDN's documentation says that ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(i) will return null if 'if the item is not realized', but this doesn't help me to guess how could I get the desired value.

How can I scan all the rows? Is there any other way?

UPDATE

I'm using this snippet to read a CheckBox as explained here. So I can't use binding or ItemSource at all unless I change a lot of things. And I cannot. I'm doing code maintenance.

回答1:

The DataGrid is virtualizing the items, the respective rows (i.e. containers) are only created when the row is in view.

You could either turn off virtualization (which makes the first time loading very slow if you have many items, also the memory usage will be higher) or you just iterate over the data and check the values of the data objects' properties which should be bound to the data-grid. Usually you should not need the UI elements at all...

Try this,

DataGridRow row = (DataGridRow)grid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index);
        if (row == null)
        {
                          grid.UpdateLayout();
            grid.ScrollIntoView(grid.Items[index]);
            row = (DataGridRow)grid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index);
        }

Use this subscription:

TheListBox.ItemContainerGenerator.StatusChanged += (sender, e) =>
{
  TheListBox.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
  {
     var TheOne = TheListBox.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(0) as ListBoxItem;
       if (TheOne != null)
         // Use The One
  });
};
