Right click to select item

[Martin]

Hi,

I need to be able to select items on right click so that the context menu functions can look at SelectedItem and get the right result. I looked at using the ContextMenuOpening event but this doesnt show which item the mouse was over when triggering the event.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated thanks.

p.s. When is dragging items between multiple treeviews likely to be available?

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin,

You can add a Class EventHandler that will select an item on MouseRight click like so:

static Window1()
{
    EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(RadTreeViewItem),
        Mouse.MouseDownEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(OnTreeViewItemMouseDown), false);
}

public static void OnTreeViewItemMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    var treeViewitem = sender as RadTreeViewItem;
    if (e.RightButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
    {
        treeViewitem.IsSelected = true;
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

As for your second question:

Currently, you can implement drag drop across TreeViews using the standard DragDrop in WPF but there is very little help on the internet on how to use it.

We are planning to port our Silverlight DragDrop for WPF for the Q2 release of the controls, then you will be able to use drag/drop across controls.

Hopefully this will work for you,

I tried the code that you have given earlier, It works fine but I am using the template in the treeview

<telerik:RadTreeView.ItemTemplate x:Uid="TreeItemTemplate" >
                <HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding Children}" x:Name="dataTemplate" >
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
                        <Image x:Name="ImgTreeNode" Height="16" Width="16" Margin="0,0,2,0"
                               Source="{Binding Path=ImageKey}"/>
                        <WrapPanel>
                            <WrapPanel>
                                <Image x:Name="ImgTreeNodeSeverity"  Margin="0,0,2,0" Height="16" Width="16"
                                    Stretch="UniformToFill" StretchDirection="DownOnly" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                                   Source="{Binding src" ClipToBounds="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" />
                                </WrapPanel>
                                    <!--Loaded="ImgTreeNode_Loaded"-->
                            <TextBlock x:Name="txtObjName" Text="{Binding DisplayName}"/>
                        </WrapPanel>
                    </StackPanel>
                    <HierarchicalDataTemplate.Triggers>
                        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding src}" Value="FaultNormal">
                            <Setter TargetName="ImgTreeNodeSeverity" Property="Image.Source" Value="{Binding null}"/>
                            <Setter TargetName="ImgTreeNodeSeverity" Property="Image.Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
                        </DataTrigger>
                    </HierarchicalDataTemplate.Triggers>
                </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
            </telerik:RadTreeView.ItemTemplate>



Now when i use the code

static Window1()

{

EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(RadTreeViewItem),

Mouse.MouseDownEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(OnTreeViewItemMouseDown), false);

}

public static void OnTreeViewItemMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)

{

var treeViewitem = sender as RadTreeViewItem;

if (e.RightButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)

{

treeViewitem.IsSelected = true;

e.Handled = true;

}

}

I get this event only when i click on the Images or the stack panel(refer to the xaml code), If I click on the blank space i dont get the
treeViewitem  i.e. it is null and i cant show the context menu there.

I am not able to use the contextMenuOpening as the break point there is never hit.

Please suggest the solution. Any code will be helpful.
Thanks and regards
Prashant

Hi Prash,

I have created a sample project according to the HierarchicalDataTemplate you have provided. I did not experience any issues while testing the project.
Please let me know if there is something I am missing.

The shared sample is working fine.

 

But now we are facing the issue while using tree control in the two different windows (different class files)of the same application.

Issue: Let say "Window1" and "Window2" are two windows (different class files) and I want to show the context menu on the type of item selected in the tree control (treeViewItem) of "Window1" and dont want to show context menu on "Window2". Now as we have registered the "MouseDownEvent" on tree view item

"EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(RadTreeViewItem),

                                                Mouse.MouseDownEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(OnTreeViewItemMouseDown), false);"

in "Windows1", "OnTreeViewItemMouseDown" function will get called when mouse is down on tree view item contained in "Window1". But this function will also get called when mouse is down on tree view item of "Windows2".

 

How can we registere the mouseDown event of tree view item  for "Windows1" only?

[Valentin.Stoychev]

Hi Prash,

You can inspect the ParentTreeView property of the treeview item that fired the event and to execute your handler code only if the treeview is in the appropriate UserControl.

Will this work for you?

Hi,
I'm also working with a right click selection problem.  If I use your code(even the sample) when you right click an item I would like to have the focus (selection) select the new right clicked item and remove focus from the old left clicked item.  How can I do that?  Thanks

[Miroslav]

Hello William,

have you tried explicitly focusing the item, like so:

treeViewitem.IsSelected = true;
treeViewitem.Focus();

I tried this with the code from the class event handler.

Does this work in your case?

Sincerely yours,

Miroslav

That works, but it shows another little problem,  Once you click either (in your sample) new or delete the action occurs and the then the menu disappears however the hover is always over a different treeview item.  Is there an easy way to turn off the hover highlight for a few seconds?  Or turn it off and then turn it back on at the next treeview click?
Thanks

[Miroslav]

Hello William,

The mouse hover cannot be switched on / off since it is implemented as a Trigger for the IsMouseOver property of the visual element.

If you need another item to be appear highlighted then you can try selecting it, but this is not exactly the same as highlighting.

I am not sure I understood you fully, could you please clarify a bit why you need to turn on/off the highlight.

Kind regards,

        </Telerik:RadTreeView>

I have solve this problem.Thanks my friend.

Hello Thomas,

This is because you have set the SelectionMode to Extended and you are probably setting the selection in code behind. However, if you want to have only one selected item on right click you have to deselect the previously right clicked item. I've attached a sample project demonstrating this functionality. Have a look at it and let me know if it helps.

All the best,
