Dear

i am trying to use Gallery.SelectedItemChanged event, but the selectedItem property doesn’t differentiate between the different selected items

Can you help me to use this property properly ?!!

The output you are getting is completely correct. The fact is that in both cases you receive a reference to the object of the class GalleryItem that exposes all the properties for each gallery item. It is naturally for class objects that WriteLine method produces the object type name string. You can cast the e.OldValue or StyleGallery.SelectedItem to the type GalleryItem to access the item properties. You can also call StyleGallery.Items.IndexOf(e.OldValue) or StyleGallery.Items.IndexOf(StyleGallery.SelectedItem) in order to get the correspondent item index.

Thanks very much for reply, but unfortunately it did not work with me. I have tried the following code

private void StyleGallery_SelectedItemChanged(object sender, GallerySelectedItemChangedEventArgs e)

        {

            Console.WriteLine(">>"+StyleGallery.SelectedItem);

            Console.WriteLine(">>>"+e.OldValue);

        }

and the result was "Elegant.Ui.GalleryItem" for each time i select a new item which is unexpected, i’ve expected to find an index of the selected item or any other unique identifier

Waiting for reply, Thanks

 

We have just checked this. The SelectedItem property changes each time when you select a new item in the gallery. When you handle the Gallery.SelectedItemChanged event, you can get an old value from in the EventArgs. The new value is in the SelectedItem.

void gallery1_SelectedItemChanged(object sender, GallerySelectedItemChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            //gallery1.SelectedItem;
            //e.OldValue;
        }

So this should work. If not, please elaborate so send a test app to our support mail box.
