I'm using HierarchicalDataTemplate in my TreeView, and I wanted to also overwrite the default template for the TreeViewItem so that when an item is selected, it only highlights the text, not including the icon next to it.
<TreeView.ItemTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding Children}">
<TreeViewItem Style="{StaticResource TreeViewItemStyle}" Header="{Binding DisplayText}" />
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.ItemTemplate>

I couldn't find a way to use both the HierarchicalDataTemplate and ControlTemplate together so I can specify the ItemsSource and also change parts of the control's behavior. When I do the above code, it won't select the treeviewitem at all.
