How to create DataGridTextColumn change event in WPF(MVVM)?

Question

How to create DataGridTextColumn change event in WPF(MVVM)? Thanks

Answer 1

You can bind a command to DataGrid's CellEditEnding event:

<DataGrid>
    <i:Interaction.Triggers>
        <i:EventTrigger EventName="CellEditEnding">
            <ec:EventToCommand PassEventArgsToCommand="True"
                               Command="{Binding ItemEditedCommand}" />
        </i:EventTrigger>
    </i:Interaction.Triggers>
</DataGrid>

And in your codebehind

private ICommand _ItemEditedCommand;

public ICommand ItemEditedCommand => _ItemEditedCommand ?? (_ItemEditedCommand = new RelayCommand<DataGridCellEditEndingEventArgs>(ItemEditedCommand_Execute));

private void ItemEditedCommand_Execute(object param)
{
    var cell = param as DataGridCellEditEndingEventArgs;

    // Examine cell column and row and act accordingly
}

You don't necessarily need to use EventToCommand you can just use whatever you normally use inside the event trigger.

EDIT:

Here is an implementation of RelayCommand and EventToCommand in case you're having problems finding them:
