Xamarin.forms - checkbox trigger another checkbox's CheckedChanged event - xamarin

Question

In my xamarin.forms app, I have a listview with checkboxes for the selection of the individual cell. What I am trying to do is multi select the checkboxes inside the listview by providing a "select all" checkbox outside the listview.The Multiselection works fine. For the "select all" checkbox click and individual checkbox click, I am performing some actions like an API Call. The Problem I am facing is Whenever I Click on the "select all" checkbox, the checkbox changed event of individual checkbox gets triggered.I know its natural But is there any way to prevent it like subscribe or unsubscribe the changed event of individual checkbox or something?

Agree with # Nikhileshwar , you could define some properties to get the different condition .And since you had used MVVM, you would better put all logic handling in your viewmodel .
in xaml
<Grid >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackLayout Grid.Row="0" Orientation="Horizontal" HeightRequest="40" BackgroundColor="LightPink">
<Label Text="Select All" FontSize="Micro" TextColor="Red" HorizontalOptions="Start" VerticalOptions="Center" >
</Label>
<CheckBox x:Name="MultiselectCheckbox" ScaleX="0.8" ScaleY="0.8" IsChecked="{Binding MultiselectCheck}" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" Color="Red"></CheckBox>
</StackLayout>
<ListView Grid.Row="1"
x:Name="Listview"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" >
<ListView.ItemTemplate >
<DataTemplate >
<ViewCell >
<Frame Padding="0" HeightRequest="40" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Label Text="{Binding name}" FontSize="Micro" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" VerticalOptions="Center" TextColor="Red" Margin="5,0,0,0">
</Label>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Selected}" Color="Red" HorizontalOptions="End" >
</CheckBox>
</StackLayout>
</Frame>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>
in ViewModel
public class MyViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void NotifyPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] String propertyName = "")
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
bool isMultiselect;
bool isSingleSelect;
public ObservableCollection<MyData> MyItems { get; set; }
private bool multiselectCheck;
public bool MultiselectCheck
{
get
{
return multiselectCheck;
}
set
{
if (multiselectCheck != value)
{
multiselectCheck = value;
if(!isSingleSelect)
{
isMultiselect = true;
foreach (MyData data in MyItems)
{
data.Selected = value;
}
isMultiselect = false;
}
NotifyPropertyChanged("MultiselectCheck");
}
}
}
public MyViewModel()
{
MyItems = new ObservableCollection<MyData>() {
new MyData(){name="Selection1" },
new MyData(){name="Selection2" },
new MyData(){name="Selection3" },
};
foreach(MyData data in MyItems)
{
data.PropertyChanged += Data_PropertyChanged;
}
}
