Hi! Everyone

I have been searching and integrating all checkbox multiselect from the answers I found online, and I l learnt so much, whether they use MVVM Light tollkit and Non-MVVM approach. All of them runs in different way but all are fulfilled the select all requirement that I needed.

The issue I am encountering raises when I use to integrate my DataGrid Loader (LoadDGV) after doing it in Hardcore data

Here are my snippets for select all that runs correctly

using GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Command;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;


namespace chkSelectAll
{
    public class MainWindowViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        private List<Item> _items;

        public List<Item> Items
        {
            get { return _items; }
            set
            {
                _items = value;
                OnPropertyChanged();
            }
        }

        private bool? isAllSelected;

        public bool? IsAllSelected
        {
            get { return isAllSelected; }
            set
            {
                //Console.WriteLine($"Item IsChecked set to: {value}");
                isAllSelected = value;
                OnPropertyChanged();
            }
        }

        public RelayCommand chkSelectAll { get; private set; }
        public RelayCommand chkSelectCell { get; private set; }

        public MainWindowViewModel() 
        {
            chkSelectAll = new RelayCommand(() => chkSelectAllCommand());
            chkSelectCell = new RelayCommand(() => chkSelectCellCommand());

            Items = GetItems();

            IsAllSelected = false;
        }

        private void chkSelectAllCommand()
        {
            if (IsAllSelected == true)
                Items.ForEach(x => x.IsChecked = true);
            else
                Items.ForEach(x => x.IsChecked = false);
        }

        private void chkSelectCellCommand()
        {
            bool anyUnchecked = Items.Any(x => x.IsChecked == false);

            if (Items.All(x => x.IsChecked))
                IsAllSelected = true;
            else if (Items.All(x => !x.IsChecked))
                IsAllSelected = false;
            else if (Items.Any(x => x.IsChecked == anyUnchecked))
                IsAllSelected = null;
        }

        private List<Item> GetItems()
        {
            return new List<Item>
            {
                new Item { ItemID = 1, ItemName = "Lettuce", ItemCode = "1001", ItemGroup = "Group 1", LastPurchaseDate = "2024-04-21", OnHand = "15.00" },
                new Item { ItemID = 6, ItemName = "Chicken", ItemCode = "1006", ItemGroup = "Group 2", LastPurchaseDate = "2024-04-23", OnHand = "40.00" },
                new Item { ItemID = 9, ItemName = "Shrimp", ItemCode = "1009", ItemGroup = "Group 3", LastPurchaseDate = "2024-04-23", OnHand = "55.00" }
            };
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

        protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
        {
            PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }

    public class Item : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        private bool _isChecked;
        public bool IsChecked
        {
            get { return _isChecked; }
            set
            {
                _isChecked = value;
                OnPropertyChanged();
            }
        }

        public int ItemID { get; set; }
        public string ItemName { get; set; }
        public string ItemCode { get; set; }
        public string ItemGroup { get; set; }
        public string LastPurchaseDate { get; set; }
        public string OnHand { get; set; }


        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

        protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
        {
            PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
}

Here's my integration of LoadDGV inside the MainWindow:

    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            LoadDGV(null, null);
        }
        #region LoadDGV
        public void LoadDGV(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            //OdbcConnection conn = null;
            OdbcCommand cmd;
            string sql = @"SELECT

                CONCAT(units.UnitName, ' ', TRIM(TRAILING '.' FROM TRIM(TRAILING '0' FROM ROUND(items.OnHand, 1)))) AS OnHand

                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
}

Here using Data Binding:SelectAll DataBinding

Like what I said, the problem rises when I integrate my LoadDGV to populate from the database

NOTE: I am using SQL Yog IDE and ODBC Data Source Name for database manipulation and connection

    Hi,@Superbia15. Could you change the LoadDGV method like above and add it to the MainWindowViewModel and then call it to populate the List<Item> and bind to the DataGrid? Your integration code directly sets the List<Item> to the ItemsSource instead of binding.

    
    private List<Item> GetItems()
    
    {
    
        List<Item> l = LoadDGV();
    
        return l;
    
    }
            public List<Item> LoadDGV()
    
            {
              ...
                        List<Item> items = new List<Item>();
    
                        foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
    
                        {
    
                            Item item = new Item
    
                            {
    
                                ItemID = Convert.ToInt32(row["ItemID"]),
    
                                ItemName = row["ItemName"].ToString(),
    
                                ItemCode = row["ItemCode"].ToString(),
    
                                ItemGroup = row["ItemGroup"].ToString(),
    
                                LastPurchaseDate = row["LastPurchaseDate"].ToString(),
    
                                OnHand = row["OnHand"].ToString()
                            };
    
                            items.Add(item);
    
                        }
                        return items;
                    }
    
                    catch (Exception ex)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
    
                        return null;
                     }
    
    }
