WPF ListView: Attaching a double-click (on an item) event
Found the solution from here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/3d0eaa54-09a9-4c51-8677-8e90577e7bac/
XAML:
<UserControl.Resources>
<Style x:Key="itemstyle" TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<EventSetter Event="MouseDoubleClick" Handler="HandleDoubleClick" />
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
<ListView Name="TrackListView" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource itemstyle}">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Title" Width="100" HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource BlueHeader}" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Artist" Width="100" HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource BlueHeader}" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Album.Artist.Name}" />
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
C#:
protected void HandleDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
var track = ((ListViewItem) sender).Content as Track; //Casting back to the binded Track
}
No memory leaks (no need to unsubscribe each item), works fine:
XAML:
<ListView MouseDoubleClick="ListView_MouseDoubleClick" ItemsSource="{Binding TrackCollection}" />
C#:
void ListView_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
var item = ((FrameworkElement) e.OriginalSource).DataContext as Track;
if (item != null)
{
MessageBox.Show("Item's Double Click handled!");
}
}
My solution was based on @epox_sub's answer which you should look at for where to put the Event Handler in the XAML. The code-behind didn't work for me because my ListViewItems
are complex objects. @sipwiz's answer was a great hint for where to look...
void ListView_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
var item = ListView.SelectedItem as Track;
if (item != null)
{
MessageBox.Show(item + " Double Click handled!");
}
}
The bonus with this is you get the SelectedItem
's DataContext binding (Track
in this case). Selected Item works because the first click of the double-click selects it.
