Datatemplates and selection

[Martin]

If I use my own datatemplate for TimelineInstantItemTemplate then the selection functionality does not work, e.g. SelectionChanged never fires. It works fine when using the default template.

How can I make selection work when using my own template?

Thanks

Hello Martin,

You need to make sure that you have a control that inherits from TimelineItemControlBase in the DataTemplate for the timeline items, as demonstrated in our First Look demo. We are aware of this limitation and it is already on our ToDo list.

Has this limitation been addressed yet, or is there a plan to? I have the same problem, except I am using a template selector. The First Look example does give a workaround, but would like to keep the code simpler.

I'm also using a TemplateSelector and selection doesn't work for me yet using the workaround on the FirstLook sample.

Ignore that, it works perfectly. I didn't have Mode=TwoWay set on the SelectedItem binding.
