Why is there no SelectedIndexChanged event for the GridView?

Question

Hi,

Am I missing it? Is there a way to trigger a method whenever the currently selected GridViewItem index changes?

thnx

Hi duffybr,

Maybe you are missing the SelectionMode on the GridView. The following code works for me:

<GridView
    x:Name="MyGridView"
    SelectionMode="Single"
    IsSwipeEnabled="True"
    IsItemClickEnabled="True"
    SelectionChanged="GridView_SelectionChanged"
    ... other properties such as ItemsSource
    /> 

private void GridView_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (MyGridView.SelectedItems.Count() > 0)
    {
        // do something
    }
}
