You have to add a PropertyChanged
listener to each item (which must implement INotifyPropertyChanged
) to get notification about editing objects in a observable list.
public ObservableCollection<Item> Names { get; set; }
public List<Item> ModifiedItems { get; set; }
public ViewModel()
{
this.ModifiedItems = new List<Item>();
this.Names = new ObservableCollection<Item>();
this.Names.CollectionChanged += this.OnCollectionChanged;
}
void OnCollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.NewItems != null)
{
foreach(Item newItem in e.NewItems)
{
ModifiedItems.Add(newItem);
//Add listener for each item on PropertyChanged event
newItem.PropertyChanged += this.OnItemPropertyChanged;
}
}
if (e.OldItems != null)
{
foreach(Item oldItem in e.OldItems)
{
ModifiedItems.Add(oldItem);
oldItem.PropertyChanged -= this.OnItemPropertyChanged;
}
}
}
void OnItemPropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
Item item = sender as Item;
if(item != null)
ModifiedItems.Add(item);
}
Maybe you have to check if some item is already in the ModifedItems-List (with List’s method Contains(object obj)) and only add a new item if the result of that method is false.
The class Item
must implement INotifyPropertyChanged
. See this example to know how. As Robert Rossney said you can also make that with IEditableObject
– if you have that requirement.
