Refresh TreeView CollectionViewSource ObservableCollection Item Changed

Hello I have the following setup for a treeview:

<local:BuddyManager x:Key="bmBuddyManager" />

    <CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
        <PropertyGroupDescription PropertyName="State" />
    </CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
</CollectionViewSource>

<DataTemplate x:Key="dtBuddyTemplate" DataType="{x:Type local:Buddy}">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Nick}" FontSize="12" FontWeight="Bold" />
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding GameHost}" FontSize="12" FontWeight="Bold"
                   Foreground="Purple" Margin="10,0,0,0" />
    </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>

<HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="hdtBuddyCategoryTemplate" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Items}"
                          ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dtBuddyTemplate}">
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="Gold" FontSize="15" />
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>

        <TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvsBuddyManager}, Path=Gro开发者_StackOverflowups}"
                  ItemTemplate="{StaticResource hdtBuddyCategoryTemplate}"
                  ContextMenuOpening="tvBuddies_ContextMenuOpening"

    End Sub

How I interact with the classes:

    Public Function GetBuddyManager() As BuddyManager
        Try
            Return DirectCast(FindResource("bmBuddyManager"), BuddyManager)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Error getting buddy manager object: " & ex.ToString())
            Application.Current.Shutdown()

            Return Nothing
        End Try
    End Function

GetBuddyManager().UpdateOnlineStatus(GetBuddyManager().BuddyCheck(0).Nick, True)

The Binding and grouping work well, the only issue is when I set a particular 'buddy' to online or blocked the child nodes do not move or change.

I am trying to get this to work like an MSN Treeview where people go offline and online.

Any help is appreciated, I have been working on this problem for a month or so with heavy research and no luck.

Thank you for your time.

Looks like you need an OnPropertyChanged event in the State property for VisualColor. The UI does not get a notification that the visual color should be updated. It knows that the State value has changed, but all that means is whatever is bound to the State property gets updated.

I would suggest putting those colors in XAML and writing a DataTrigger on your item, that evaluates the state and changes the color to suit.

Next as for not moving from one status category to another, when you set the state, have you looked at the CollectionViewSource at runtime to see how it is sorting? Are you calling a refresh on the CVS view anywhere?
