How to set a different click handler on each button in a HierarchicalDataTemplate

[Simon]

Hi,

I've created a HierarchicalDataTemplate for my items collection which is bound to a business object.
The TemplateSelector chooses which template to use programmatically. 
This all works fine.

The DataTemplate code looks like this...

<telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate telerik:ContainerBinding.ContainerBindings="{StaticResource TreeViewNodeBindings}"
                                  ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <telerik:RadButton x:Name="EditTreeListDataButton"
                           Content="..."
                           Click="EditListButton_Click" />
        <Image Stretch="None"
               Source="../Resources/treeview_icon_small.png"
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               Margin="2" />
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Header,Mode=OneWay}"
                   VerticalAlignment="Center"
                   Margin="2"
                   FontSize="12" />
    </StackPanel>
</telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate>

I would like to know how I can have a different click delegate for each button that is shown for the items collection.
Each button repeats per item so all the click events point to the same code. I want each click event to be unique. 
Obviously if I knew which item the button belonged to, I could run the appropriate code, but nothing I've tried works.
How do I do this? I'm sure it's a common problem.

Thanks Simon

Hi Simon,

 Yes, finding the parent RadTreeViewItem of the Clicked Button is a typical approach. In the Clicked event handler you can use the telerik's extension method : Telerik.Windows.Controls.ParentOftype<RadTreeViewitem.(). On the other hand, if you implement an MVVM scenario, you could consider using Commands. Every RadTreeViewItem could have its own corresponding ViewModel and the Button could be bound to a Command in this ViewModel class.
Please let us know if you need more info.
