There actually is a problem in the Cairngorm store code. I found it when trying to dispatch an event using it.
There are two sections that dispatch events, one works and one does not. The section with the graphical tile list dispatches a cairngorm event, but not using the CairngormEventDispatcher to update the details. The textual list uses a different method, since I had a grid object updating the details panel, I used that code, and it does not fire. The rule of thumb is, if you want to dispatch and event that is not registered on your controller, you do not use the CairgormEventDispatcher, but the standard EventDispatcher, regardless of whether or not your event is a cairngorm event. If you are using the code that resides in the textual product list to dispatch an event to update the details it will not work, the code is wrong. Unless they changed it recently. If you download it, compile it, and run it, switch to the textual view, it will not update the details panel. However the visual graphical tile list will work. Because they use different event dispatching. Hope this helps. This was a problem for me too. This may not be what your doing, but at least make sure you did not copy the code from the textual product list to dispatch the event or it wont work properly.
