WPF TreeView PreviewMouseDown on TreeViewItem
- by imekon
If I handle the PreviewMouseDown event on TreeViewItem, I get events for everything I click on that TreeViewItem include the little +/- box to the left (Windows XP). How can I distinguish that?
I tried the following:
// We've had a single click on a tree view item
// Unfortunately this is the WHOLE tree item, including the +/-
// symbol to the left. The tree doesn't do a selection, so we
// have to filter this out...
MouseDevice device = e.Device as MouseDevice;
// This is bad. The whole point of WPF is for the code
// not to know what the UI has - yet here we are testing for
// it as a workaround. Sigh...
// This is broken - if you click on the +/- on a item, it shouldn't
// go on to be processed by OnTreeSingleClick... ho hum!
if (device.DirectlyOver.GetType() != typeof(Path))
{
OnTreeSingleClick(sender);
}
What I'm after is just single click on the tree view item excluding the extra bits it seems to include.
