Hi - I'm a bit of a WPF noob, so apologies for any inherent daftness in this question (!)
I'm trying to enable editing of WPF treeview labels with a doubleclick - I've googled around this, and it looks like the two ways of doing this are with a custom control or with a style which hides one of a TextBox/TextBlock.
Using a style to set the label to be a textBox based on a DataTrigger seems easy enough (eg 1 below), but it means that any time a row is selected, it's 'being edited'.
What I'd really like to do is to enable this (Transition to textbox) on a mousedoubleclick event, but it seems that EventTriggers can't be used in the manner below, because they're transient. (It doesn't seem I can simply use the DoubleClick event in codebehind, because that doesn't (??) allow me to affect the displayed controls to show / hide the textboxes).
Using a full blown custom control seems like the alternative - there's an AAALMOST working example here ( http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/editabletextblock.aspx ), however it doesn't work in the presence of HierachicalDataTemplate clauses (and it doesn't look like a solution is forthcoming).
Any ideas?
Many thanks.
Lee.
(eg 1 - switch from textblock to textbox when selected)
