I've seen many examples of how to perform this task (I sure have looked), but one line that seems to appear again and again is the following:
TreeViewItem item = e.OriginalSource as TreeViewItem;
Which makes sense. The problem is that, no matter what I click on in my treeview, item is always null.
My treeview has two layers. The top level is Scenes and the bottom level is characters. Each scene contains one more more characters. My aim is to be able to know the scene when the character is selected.
I suppose maybe my TreeView might be done differently to a lot of people's, so I shall provide that too:
<TreeView x:Name="ScenesTreeView01" Grid.Column="0" Width="Auto" Background="AliceBlue" ItemsSource="{Binding Scenes}" SelectedItemChanged="TreeView_SelectedItemChanged" BorderThickness="0">
<TreeView.DataContext>
<viewModels:ScenesViewModel />
</TreeView.DataContext>
<TreeView.Resources>
<ContextMenu x:Key="SceneLevel">
<MenuItem Header="Add selected character" Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.AddSelectedCharacter, Source={x:Reference ScenesTreeView01}}"/>
</ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu x:Key="CharacterLevel">
<MenuItem Header="Remove character from scene" Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.RemoveCharacterFromScene, Source={x:Reference ScenesTreeView01}}"/>
</ContextMenu>
</TreeView.Resources>
<TreeView.ItemTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding Characters}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" ContextMenu="{StaticResource SceneLevel}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SceneName}"></TextBlock>
<Image Source="{StaticResource ImgBook1}" Margin="0,0,5,0" Width="32" Height="32"/>
</StackPanel>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="LightBlue" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="2" CornerRadius="5,5,5,5">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="3" ContextMenu="{StaticResource CharacterLevel}">
<TextBlock FontFamily="Levenim MT" FontSize="16" VerticalAlignment="Center" MinWidth="50" Text="{Binding FirstName}"></TextBlock>
<Image Source="{Binding ImgIcon}" Margin="2" Width="32" Height="32"/>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate.ItemTemplate>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.ItemTemplate>
</TreeView>
e.OriginalSource does give something though, and that's this: System.Windows.Controls.TreeView Items.Count:4. I get that whether I select the top level or the bottom level (the top level has four items, the bottom levels have three each).
If someone could lend an eye to help me with this, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If you are binding, you won't get TreeViewItem any longer, but the collection items from your viewmodel/datacontext.
As far as the parent is concerned, I'd suggest to define it as a property of the above said viewmodel class.
I have a project/sample with a tree view on github
You could try to cast the NewValue property of the RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<object> to your Character type:
private void TreeView_SelectedItemChanged(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<object> e)
{
Character c = e.NewValue as Character;
if (c != null)
{
//a character was selected...
}
}
This property should contain the newly selected item and if the cast succeeds you know that a Character was selected.
You should then be able to access a parent property or something of this class to get a reference to the parent scene.

I have the following XAML but I can't seem to access the contents of the ItemsWrapGrid in the corresponding .CS file - can anyone tell me what I should be doing (here's the code behind and xaml) :
private void wifiTapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("in here " + e.GetType().ToString());
ItemsWrapGrid wg = (ItemsWrapGrid) sender;
Debug.WriteLine(e.OriginalSource.ToString());
foreach (Control c in wg.Children)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Control " + c.Name);
}
Debug.WriteLine("leaving ");
}

Just to be clear, when I run this I have three items of data (so it's working) - but what I'd like to be able to do is click on any one of the three data items and be able to identify the individual controls and their values within the data panel.
Thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts.

Set IsItemClickEnabled to true on your GridView, and hook into the ItemClick event on the GridView itself. From the event args, you can get the sender (most likely the GridViewItem UI element itself, of which your DataTemplate content is a child), and the ClickedItem, which is the bound datacontext of the datatemplate - in your case the instance of the data:wifiNets - which if your bindings work mean you won't actually have to look in the VisualTree at all.
If for some reason you want to recurse through the VisualChildren for the items of any ItemsControl, use the ContainerFromIndex or ContainerFromItem methods on the ItemsControl to get the ItemContainer hosting each instance of the datatemplate - although I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you really need too. Ideally you shouldn't often have a need for manually trawling the visual tree.
So I have a few ListViews. The first is binded to ObservaleCollection<ComPort>. All properties of ComPort may take some predefined values. Other ListViews are responsible for that properties: they show all that possible (predefined) values and SelectedItem should be the current value of that property of ComPort from the first ObservaleCollection.
I can't attach images so here is an external picture, it would make the situation clean: http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZBRRx.png

I've tried to make an instance of class ComPort for saving current value of selected item from the first ListView, but anyway I can't cope with it without help. How this task should be solved?
1) Instead of handling SelectionChanged on the PortsList ListView, bind your checkbox to the ListViewItemsPanel like so:
<CheckBox IsChecked={Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource=Parent/>
2) Add an x:Name to your first ListBox, say x:Name="ComPortLB";
3) Remove DataContext on SystemPortsList;
4) Fix SelectedItem on SystemPortsList like so:
SelectedValue="{Binding ElementName=ComPortLB, Path=SelectedValue.PortName}"
I haven't tested any of this code and I haven't done this kind of stuff for a while, so I apologize for errors, but it should get you closer. I've also had to make some assumptions about your classes since you don't provide enough information.

"Can a DataTemplate be placed inside another DataTemplate of different Template Structure?"
The answer is yes, it can. Your XAML structure is fine.
But what possibly wrong is binding path/expression used. You need to be aware that DataContext of the inner ListBox (the one inside DataTemplate) is corresponding item in ListBoxCollection. So if that item mentioned before has property CurrentPage.ClonedVectorImages, this way of binding should work fine to populate the inner ListBox :
<ListBox x:Name="ChildListBox"
ItemsSource="{Binding CurrentPage.ClonedVectorImages,Mode=TwoWay}"
........>
You need to put DataTemplates in resources with the corresponding keys, because otherwise an exception may occur:
Markup.IStyle.Connector.Connect error
This is bug of studio, which is described as follows link:
A good way to look at this problem “Templating is like parentheses, quoting parentheses” the Template XAML is not created but saved and run later. The bug is therefore: We have a problem with nested parentheses.
In any case as I think, should be avoided nesting templates and use him via resources, it will be easier and clearer.
I want to bind data to radtreeview through Hireachical Data Template. With Wpf treeview Its working. We wanted to change that to Radtreeview. When i am trying to achieve the same i am not getting that.
<TreeView Name="treeview2"
Grid.RowSpan="2" Tag=""
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource StretchTreeViewItemStyle}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Cluster}" Width="250" Height="251" Margin="0,0,0,0" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom">
<TreeView.ItemTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Nodes}">
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<TextBlock Padding="15,0,30,0" Text="{Binding Path=numitems}" TextAlignment="Right" DockPanel.Dock="Right"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Text}" DockPanel.Dock="Left" TextAlignment="Left">
<TextBlock.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu>
<MenuItem Header="Rename" />
<MenuItem Header="Exlcude"/>
</ContextMenu>
</TextBlock.ContextMenu>
</TextBlock>
</DockPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.ItemTemplate>
I am looking for a sample which shows that bind a property. Cluster is a observablecollection property of type a class. Nodes is a child collection with in that. I am looking for transforming the same code to radtreeview-- Thanks
how to get value from the textblock , which is present in listbox ....
here is the code xaml :
<ListBox Height="707" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,0,0,0" Name="listBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="456" Background="White" Foreground="#FF09090C" ItemsSource="{Binding}" SelectionChanged="listBox1_SelectionChanged">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Name="textBlock3" FontSize="18" Foreground="Blue" Margin="2" Text="{Binding Title.Text}" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
<TextBlock FontSize="16" Foreground="Gray" Margin="2" Text="{Binding Summary.Text}" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
<TextBlock FontSize="1" Foreground="Gray" Margin="2" Text="{Binding Id}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Visibility="Collapsed" />
<Button Name="h1" Content="Press" Height="10" Width="40"></Button>
<TextBlock Foreground="Gray" Margin="2" Text="________________________________________________________________________________________" FontSize="8"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
You don't get the value directly from the TextBlock.
Instead what you do is bind the SelectedItem to a property on your viewmodel. To get the value of the TextBlock directly would violate the priciples of MVVM (if you are using that pattern). The viewmodel presents the data, it has no clue how that data is being rendered to the UI. IOW it has no idea there are three TextBlocks.
<ListBox Height="707" SelectedItem={Binding MyViewModelProperty} >
... etc ...
This means that every time the selected item is changed, the new value will be populated into the bound property on the viewmodel. All you have to do then is access that object - it's as easy as that. This means you may also possibly be able to get rid of your SelectionChanged event hookup, depending on what it is doing.
However if you insist on getting the instance of the template used to present any particular data item in a list control, then this is the way to do it programmatically:
myListBox.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(myDataItem);
This will return you the StackPanel and its contents, you can then either use FindName() or just enumerate the child controls to find the one you are interested in.
FrameworkElement element = myListBox.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(myDataItem) as FrameworkElement;
if (element != null)
FrameworkElement child = element.FindName("myChildName");
