RepositoryItemCheckEdit doesn't stay checked - winforms

Question

I try to add a RepositoryItemCheckEdit to my GridView using devexpress and Winforms. However, I can get only one checkbox be checked. If I check another one, the checkbox I checked before becomes unchecked. I followed everything I can find on the net, but couldn't make this work. What am I missing?
The code part I insert the column:
gcIsEmirleri.DataSource = (from i in isemirleri
select new
{
ID = i.isEmriId,
// other attributes
}).ToList();
GridColumn column = gvIsEmirleri.Columns["Sec"];
if (column == null)
{
gvIsEmirleri.BeginUpdate();
DataColumn col = new DataColumn("Sec", typeof(bool));
column = gvIsEmirleri.Columns.AddVisible("Sec");
col.VisibleIndex = 0;
col.Caption = "Sec";
col.Name = "Sec";
col.OptionsColumn.AllowEdit = true;
gvIsEmirleri.EndUpdate();
gvIsEmirleri.Columns["Sec"].UnboundType = DevExpress.Data.UnboundColumnType.Boolean;
RepositoryItemCheckEdit chk = new RepositoryItemCheckEdit();
chk.ValueChecked = true;
chk.ValueUnchecked = false;
gvIsEmirleri.Columns["Sec"].ColumnEdit = chk;
chk.QueryCheckStateByValue += chk_QueryCheckStateByValue;
}
The code part I make the checkbox two-stated instead of three:
private void chk_QueryCheckStateByValue(object sender, DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.QueryCheckStateByValueEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Value == null)
{
e.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked;
e.Handled = true;
}
}
EDIT: I created a List<bool> chkList; and do the following operations:
This function is added to checkedits' CheckStateChanged:
private void chk_CheckStateChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CheckEdit chk = sender as CheckEdit;
if (chk.Checked)
chkList[gvIsEmirleri.FocusedRowHandle] = true;
else
chkList[gvIsEmirleri.FocusedRowHandle] = false;
FillBindingSource();
}
In FillBindingSource I added the lines:
for (int i = 0; i < chkList.Count; i++)
{
if (chkList[i])
gvIsEmirleri.SetRowCellValue(i, "Sec", true);
}
I debug these lines, I see that List has correct bool values and gvIsEmirleri.SetRowCellValue(i, "Sec", true); is operated when it has to. However, it still doesn't work.

My guess is : You are using an unbound Column, and you are not saving the checked / unckecked info, so, after the selected row is left, the checkBox get it's initial value (unckecked).
For this, I suggest you handle the CustomUnboundColumnData event of your view. Here is a simple :
readonly Dictionary<object, bool> checkedMap = new Dictionary<object, bool>();
private void viewScales_CustomUnboundColumnData(object sender, CustomColumnDataEventArgs e)
{
// Check what column
if (e.Column != gvIsEmirleri.Columns["Sec"])
return;
if (e.IsGetData)
{
// check if the row has been checked and set it's value using e.Value
bool checked;
if (checkedMap.TryGetValue(e.Row, out checked))
e.Value = checked;
}
if (e.IsSetData)
{
var checked = Convert.ToBoolean(e.Value);
// Check if the key already exist
if (checkedMap.ContainsKey(e.Row))
scaleMap.Remove(e.Row);
checkedMap.Add(e.Row, checked);
}
}
Note : This is the way I resolved a similar problem, but I did not test the code I just wrote.
