>>I have a XAML window showing your typical master detail relationship between an Air Waybill (AWB) and the charges on the AWB. The AWB charges are displayed/edited in a grid and there is a textbox on the form which shows the total of the charges in the grid. The textbox is defined like this:
>>
>>

                        <TextBox 
>>                            Name="txtAirWayBillTotal" 
>>                            Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Window}}, Path=AirWayBillTotal}"
>>                            Grid.Column="3" 
>>                            Grid.Row="5" 
>>                            Height="23"

>>                            Grid.ColumnSpan="2" 
>>                            HorizontalContentAlignment="Right"

>>The window has the AirWayBillTotal defined like this:
>>
>>

        private decimal airwaybillTotal;

        void CollectionItemChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)

>>which checks if the value in the entitylist that was changed was awd_amount and if so, re-calculates the total.
>>
>>My problem (finally) is that in certain instances the total does not get updated. This occurs when I add a new row to the charges grid, type in the new amount in the awd_amount column and then use Alt+S to call the Save button's click event. If I tab out of the column the total is updated. It is similar to when using a toolbar in VFP the current control is apparently not losing focus so the change is not registering.

Hi Viv,

I've got a scenario which I can duplicate. If I set a breakpoint in the CollectionItemChanged code it never gets hit when I add a new row to the grid, select a Charge Type from the combo, then enter an amount. Before I move focus from the amount, I press Alt+N which is the shortcut to the New Charge button. Is that what you meant by "should be easy to check using a trace"?

The grid is defined like this:

                        <DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" 
                                  Height="Auto" 
                                  HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                                  Margin="0" 
                                  Name="grdCourierAirWayBillDetails" 
                                  VerticalAlignment="Stretch" 
                                  Width="Auto" 
                                  IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" 
                                  ItemsSource="{Binding Mode=default}" 
                                  SelectionMode="Single" 
                                  GridLinesVisibility="None" 
                                  HeadersVisibility="Column" 
                                  Grid.ColumnSpan="2" 
                                 
                                  CanUserAddRows="False" 
                                  CanUserDeleteRows="False" 
                                  SelectionUnit="Cell" 
                                  Grid.RowSpan="4">
                            <DataGrid.Resources>
                                <Style x:Key="AlignRight" TargetType="DataGridCell">
                                    <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Right" />

                                </Style>
                                <Style x:Key="AlignRightHeader" TargetType="DataGridColumnHeader">
                                    <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Right" />
                                </Style>
                            </DataGrid.Resources>
                            <DataGrid.Columns>
                                <DataGridComboBoxColumn Header="Charge Type" Width="2*" 
                                                        DisplayMemberPath="cty_name" 
                                                        SelectedValuePath="cty_pk" 
                                                        SelectedValueBinding="{Binding cwd_ctyfk, Mode=Default}"/>

                                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Amount" Width="*" Binding="{Binding cwd_amount, Mode=default}"
                                                    CellStyle="{StaticResource AlignRight}"
                                                    HeaderStyle="{StaticResource AlignRightHeader}"/>
                            </DataGrid.Columns>
                        </DataGrid>

When I use the Alt+N, then try to save, the values in the grid are not recognised as being stored in the entity list. So there is something strange going on here as the values are fine if I tab out of the amount column.
