My application is developed using wpf MVVM pattern where i have a list box which shows a set of operations to be selected with checkbox to check/uncheck. I need to get the selected item whenever a checkbox is checked / unchecked. I am binding the IsChecked property of checkbox to property in my model and selecteditem property of listbox to property in my viewmodel. Whenever i check/uncheck the frist item in the list the selected item event is triggering however the same is not getting triggered when i check/uncheck any item other than the first selected item in the list. I need to capture the changes whenever the user does any changes to listbox items.
Here is my view:
<ListBox Height="280" Width="Auto" ItemsSource="{Binding OperationsInfoCol}" SelectionMode="Multiple"
SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedOperationItem,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" IsEnabled="{Binding CanEnableListBox}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Content="{Binding OperationName}"
IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsOperationSelected,Mode=TwoWay}" IsEnabled="{Binding Path=CanEnableOperation,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding IsOperationSelected,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="{Binding CanEnableOperation,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListBox>
ViewModel:
public OperationsInfo SelectedOperationItem
{
get
{
return m_oOperationSelected;
}
set
{
if (value != null)
{
m_oOperationSelected = value;
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedOperationItem");
if (null != m_oOperationSelected)
{
ObservableCollection<OperationsInfo> oCol = new ObservableCollection<OperationsInfo>();
//if (m_oOperationSelected.CanEnableOperation)
{
foreach (OperationsInfo itm in OperationsInfoCol)
{
if (itm.OperationId == m_oOperationSelected.OperationId && m_oOperationSelected.CanEnableOperation)
{
itm.IsOperationSelected = !m_oOperationSelected.IsOperationSelected;
}
oCol.Add(itm);
}
OperationsInfoCol.Clear();
OperationsInfoCol = oCol;
}
}
}
}
}
Model:
public class OperationsInfo {
private string m_strOperationName;
private int m_nOperationId;
private bool m_bIsOperationSelected;
private bool m_bCanEnable;
private LicenseManagerViewModel m_VMLicenseManager;
public bool IsOperationSelected
{
get
{
return m_bIsOperationSelected;
}
set
{
m_bIsOperationSelected = value;
LicenseManagerVM.OperationInfoChecked = value;
}
}
}

Because you set SelectionMode="Multiple", you cannot use SelectedItem.
You also cannot bind to SelectedItems because this property is read-only.
Not all is lost because in your code you bind IsSelected to IsOperationSelected
So now you can process the selected items using IsOperationSelected as indicated in the following example in your ViewModel:
