Datagrid multiselect checkbox set checked or unchecked mvvm

Question

Hi All: Morning

From my datagrid i have a col visible (string propery) checkbox for True or False, i would like slect multiple rows in the datagrid or selct all (ctrl + A )then from a checkbox set active

(checked = select selected rows)

(unchecked = un-select the selected rows)

I added below to the datagrid resource to allow multi selection:

<DataGrid.Resources>
<Style TargetType="DataGridRow"><Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding IsSelected}" />
</Style>
</DataGrid.Resources>

Checkbox to set selected rows checked/un-checked:

<CheckBox Width="120" Name="cselectall" Content="Select All" Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="30,0,0,30"
	IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>

ViewModel:

private bool _isSelected;
public bool IsSelected
{
	get { return _isSelected; }
	set
	{
		_isSelected = value;
		OnPropertyChanged("SelectedItems");
	}
}

public ObservableCollection<Products> SelectedItems { get; }  = new ObservableCollection<Products>();

What am i missing here because when i slected multipl rows or selected all rows, by checking the box Name="cselectall" Content="Select All", its not triggering? thanks for your help

Product class:

  public class Products
    {

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

        string sysid;
        string mainproduct;
        string name;
        string visible;
        string nameicon;


        public string SysId
        {
            get { return sysid; }
            set { sysid = value; }
        }

        public string Mainproduct
        {
            get { return mainproduct; }
            set { mainproduct = value; }
        }
        public string Name
        {
            get { return name; }
            set { name = value; }
        }


        public string Visible
        {
            get { return visible; }
            set
            {
                visible = value;

            }
        }

                
        public string NameIcon
        {
            get { return nameicon; }
            set { nameicon = value; }
        }

        public PriceDetail PriceDetail { get; set; }

        public List<PriceDetail> Prices { get; set; } = new List<PriceDetail>();

     
}

Answer 2

For using CheckBox to select all DataGridRow, you could try the following code.

 <Window.DataContext >
        <local:ViewMode />
    </Window.DataContext>
    <StackPanel>
        <CheckBox Width="120" Name="cselectall" Content="Select All" Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="30,0,0,30"
	IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
        <DataGrid Name="dg" ItemsSource="{Binding Persons}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserAddRows="False"  >
<DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="ID" Binding="{Binding ID}"  />
    <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="Name1" Header="Name" Binding="{Binding Name}"/>



   
    <DataGridTemplateColumn x:Name="Check" >
        <DataGridTemplateColumn.Header >
            <TextBlock Text="Visible" x:Name="headerCheckBox"   />
        </DataGridTemplateColumn.Header>
        <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate >
            <DataTemplate>

               
                <CheckBox x:Name="CheckSelected" Background="Orange" IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked,ElementName=cselectall,Mode=OneWay}"/>
            </DataTemplate>
        </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
    </DataGridTemplateColumn>
</DataGrid.Columns>

</DataGrid>


 public class ViewMode : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public ObservableCollection<Person> Persons { get; set; }
public ViewMode()
{
Persons = new ObservableCollection<Person>();
Persons.Add(new Person { ID = 1, Name = "man", Visible = "true" });
Persons.Add(new Person { ID = 2, Name = "john", Visible = "false" });
Persons.Add(new Person { ID = 3, Name = "jo", Visible = "false" });
}
protected void OnPropertyChanged(string porpName)
{
var temp = PropertyChanged;
if (temp != null)
    temp(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(porpName));

}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}
public class Person
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Visible { get; set; }
}
