WPF - List View Row Index and Validation

Question

Hi,

I have a ListView with TextBoxes in second column. I want to validate that my text box does not contain a number if the third column(data_type) is "Text". I am unable to do the validation.

I tried a few approaches. In one approach I try to handle the MouseDown event and am trying to get the Row number so that I can get the data_type value of that row. I want to us this value in the Validate method.

I have been struggling for a week now. Would appreciate if anybody could help.

<ControlTemplate x:Key="validationTemplate">
  <DockPanel>
     <TextBlock Foreground="Red" FontSize="20">!</TextBlock>
     <AdornedElementPlaceholder/>
  </DockPanel>
</ControlTemplate>

<Style x:Key="textBoxInError" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
  <Style.Triggers>
    <Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="true">
      <Setter Property="ToolTip"
        Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self},
                        Path=(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}"/>
    </Trigger>
  </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

    <DataTemplate x:Key="textTemplate">
        <TextBox  HorizontalAlignment= "Stretch" 
 IsEnabled="{Binding XPath=./@isenabled}"  
 Validation.ErrorTemplate="{StaticResource validationTemplate}"  
    Style="{StaticResource textBoxInError}">
            <TextBox.Text>
                <Binding XPath="./@value" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged">
