have a nice day

Thanks for your kind words! Depending on the amount of nodes/menues, there are different strategies:

• You could set the context menu of a node using a style or trigger. This would be a clean and declarative solution that even cooperates with the NodeContextMenu property: If the context menu of a node is set, NodeContextMenu is ignored, otherwise applied.
• You can assign a context menu to specific or all nodes during creation by overriding the CreateTreeViewItem method. Again, you can still use NodeContextMenu for a default context menu.
• Intercept the right-clicks on tree nodes and set context menus on demand. Have a look at the OnRightMouseButtonUp method of the base class - you should be able to use that code in order to define your own event listener that assigns your custom context menus.

Hope that helps,
Philipp

This feature is already implemented in my current release (there’s a new ObserveRootItems dependency property which defaults to true). I’m pretty sure I’ll release this weekend, but if you want to get your hands on the current build, just drop me a mail

Awesome control. Only problem is that I’m binding to an ObservableCollection and your treeview isn’t picking up on new items added there. So, for your example, adding items to the root node. It works great in the rest of the hierarchy - do you know off hand a fix for that? I see that your “Items” is IEnumerable - does that affect the binding?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the VS designer breaks very easily and the sample uses various external resources. However, data templates are written in XAML anyway and creating them works the same as for the standard WPF TreeView control. For a minimal style, check the tutorial at CodeProject, it includes a *very* simple data template (chapter “Data Templates”). The whole data template is only 6 lines of XAML so you should easily understand what it’s doing

And of course, there will be enhancements - I’ve planned built-in filtering and multi-selection support for the next iteration. I’ll update the CodeProject article (and post here, of course) as soon as it’s done. No CodePlex, however

Cheers,
Philipp

However, I love to know if there is a simpler tutorial, especially on the part that we need to create the XAML resource file in order to customize the tree appearance. It is quite difficult for me to write the XAML resource (that has DataTemplate tag), because the IDE always complained that the tag is not being defined… I’m not sure.

Secondly, will there be any enhancement to this nice control. Will it be placed in CodePlex, for example?

Thanks.
