Is there a nice way (except retemplating the whole TreeViewItem.Template
) to disable selection in TreeView
?
I am basically looking for the ItemsControl
style of the TreeView
(An ItemsControl
is the best use to 'disable' selection on ListBox
, read this post)
Whenever an item is selected, you could "unselect" it. Ex. modify the code from http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/TreeView_SelectionWPF.aspx or use a MVVM approach (see http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/TreeViewWithViewModel.aspx) and always set IsSelected back to false.
Try this:
<Trigger Property="HasItems" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Focusable" Value="false" />
</Trigger>
Based off of the links to the currently accepted answer, I implemented this in my project:
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding IsSelected, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
Works for TreeViewItem as well. And in the view model:
protected bool _DisableSelection;
private bool _IsSelected;
public bool IsSelected
{
get { return _IsSelected; }
set
{
if (value == _IsSelected) return;
_IsSelected = _DisableSelection ? false : value;
NotifyPropertyChanged();
}
}
Now you don't have to go hunting!
This did the trick for me (based on this answer, but no tied to item - selection is disabled whatsoever):
<TreeView>
<TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="TreeViewItem">
<Setter Property="Focusable" Value="False" />
</Style>
</TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
</TreeView>
I decided to write a reusable behavior, HTH:
Namespace Components
Public NotInheritable Class TreeViewBehavior
Public Shared Function GetIsTransparent(
ByVal element As TreeViewItem) As Boolean
If element Is Nothing Then Throw New ArgumentNullException("element")
Return element.GetValue(IsTransparentProperty)
End Function
Public Shared Sub SetIsTransparent(ByVal element As TreeViewItem,
ByVal value As Boolean)
If element Is Nothing Then Throw New ArgumentNullException("element")
element.SetValue(IsTransparentProperty, value)
End Sub
Public Shared ReadOnly IsTransparentProperty As DependencyProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsTransparent", GetType(Boolean),
GetType(TreeViewBehavior),
New FrameworkPropertyMetadata(False,
AddressOf IsTransparent_PropertyChanged))
Private Shared Sub IsTransparent_PropertyChanged(
ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)
Dim tvi = DirectCast(sender, TreeViewItem)
Dim isTransparent = CBool(e.NewValue)
If isTransparent Then
AddHandler tvi.Selected, AddressOf tvi_Selected
Else
RemoveHandler tvi.Selected, AddressOf tvi_Selected
End If
End Sub
Private Shared Sub tvi_Selected(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
Dim treeViewItem = DirectCast(sender, TreeViewItem)
If Not treeViewItem.IsSelected Then Exit Sub
treeViewItem.Dispatcher.Invoke(
Sub(tvi As TreeViewItem) tvi.IsSelected = False,
System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Send,
treeViewItem)
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
Usage:
<Window xmlns:components="clr-namespace:WpfApplication.Components">
<TreeView>
<TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="TreeViewItem">
<Setter
Property="components:TreeViewBehavior.IsTransparent"
Value="True" />
</Style>
</TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
</TreeView>
</Window>
I just unselected the TreeViewItems as they get selected.
I Use the TreeView only once. However if i added several placed I would consider looking into adding this to a Attacked Behavior.
Xaml:
<TreeView SelectedItemChanged="TreeView_SelectionChanged">
Code behind:
private void TreeView_SelectionChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var myTreeView = sender as TreeView;
if (myTreeView == null) return;
var selectedItem = (TreeViewItem)myTreeView.SelectedItem;
if (selectedItem ==null) return;
selectedItem.IsSelected = false;
}
I did this a differently than the accepted answer:
Lets say that you have a property in your ViewModel (say 'ShouldPreventSelection')
Now when ShouldPreventSelection is true you want selection to be disabled:
In your TreeView fire the PreviewSelected event like so:
<TreeView Name="TreeView1"
...
PreviewSelected="TreeView1_PreviewSelected"
..
/>
Then in the codebehind you can the following:
private void TreeView1_PreviewSelected(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MyViewModel myViewModel = TreeView1.DataContext as MyViewModel;
if (myViewModel == null)
{
return;
}
if (myViewModel .ShouldPreventSelection)
{
e.Handled = true;
}
}
