可观察的集合属性已更改为集合中的项目

Question

I have an ObservableCollection<T> . I've bound it to a ListBox control and I've added SortDescriptions to the Items collection on the ListBox to make the list sort how I want.

I want to resort the list at ANY point when any property changed on a child element.

All my child elements implement INotifyPropertyChanged .

Answer 1

Brute force:

1. Attach handler to each PropertyChanged event for each child item
2. Grab the ListCollectionView from your CollectionViewSource
3. Call Refresh.

EDIT:

The code for 1, 2 would live in your code-behind.

For #1, you'd do something like:

private void Source_CollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    switch (e.Action)
    {
        case NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add:
            foreach( SomeItem item in e.NewItems)
            {
               item.PropertyChanged += new PropertyChangedEventHandler(_SomeItem_PropertyChanged); 
            }
            break;
....
**HANDLE OTHER CASES HERE**
....
      }
}

For #2, in your CollectionChanged handler, you would do something like:

private void _SomeItem_PropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    ListCollectionView lcv = (ListCollectionView)(CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(theListBox.ItemsSource));
    lcv.Refresh();
}

EDIT2: However, in this case, I would strongly suggest that you also check ListCollectionView.NeedsRefresh and only refresh if that is set. There's no reason to re-sort if your properties have changed which don't affect the sort.

Answer 2

This works. Whenever the collection changes, it re-sorts the collection. Might be doable in a more efficient way but this is the gist of it.

public partial class TestWindow : Window {
        ObservableCollection<TestClass> oc;
        public TestWindow() {
            InitializeComponent();
            // Fill in the OC for testing 
            oc = new ObservableCollection<TestClass>();
            foreach( char c in "abcdefghieeddjko" ) {
                oc.Add( new TestClass( c.ToString(), c.ToString(), c.GetHashCode() ) );
            }

            lstbox.ItemsSource = oc;
            // Set up the sorting (this is how you did it.. doesn't work)
            lstbox.Items.SortDescriptions.Add( new SortDescription("A", ListSortDirection.Ascending) );
            // This is how we're going to do it
            oc.CollectionChanged += new System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler( oc_Sort );
        }

        void oc_Sort( object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e ) {
            // This sorts the oc and returns IEnumerable
            var items = oc.OrderBy<TestClass, int>( ( x ) => ( x.C ) );
            // Rest converst IEnumerable back to OC and assigns it
            ObservableCollection<TestClass> temp = new ObservableCollection<TestClass>();
            foreach( var item in items ) {
                temp.Add( item );
            }
            oc = temp;
        }

        private void Button_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e ) {
            string a = "grrrr";
            string b = "ddddd";
            int c = 383857;
            oc.Add( new TestClass( a, b, c ) );
        }


    }

    public class TestClass : INotifyPropertyChanged {
        private string a;
        private string b;
        private int c;

        public TestClass( string f, string g, int i ) {
            a = f;
            b = g;
            c = i;
        }
        public string A {
            get { return a; }
            set { a = value; OnPropertyChanged( "A" ); }
        }
        public string B {
            get { return b; }
            set { b = value; OnPropertyChanged( "B" ); }
        }
        public int C {
            get { return c; }
            set { c = value; OnPropertyChanged( "C" ); }
        }

        #region onpropertychanged

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        protected void OnPropertyChanged( string propertyName ) {
            if( this.PropertyChanged != null ) {
                PropertyChanged( this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs( propertyName ) );
            }
        }
        #endregion
    }
