[Solved] Using ItemEditTemplateSelector

[Dan]

Hello,

I have a treeview that is successfully using a data template selector (closely mimics your hierarchical templates example), and I saw with the new release there is a property for an item edit template selector.  I basically duplicated my current data templates and selector and applied it to the treeview and it doesn't work.  If i individually set the ItemEditTemplate property to any of the templates it works, but it appears that the edit data template selector class never fires the SelectTemplate method.  Is there anything special that needs to be in place to make this feature work correctly?

Thanks in advance,

Lars Solberg

Hi Lars,

The ItemEditTemplateSelector will be used if there is no ItemEditTemplate. (in a similar way to the ItemTemplate and ItemTemplateSelector).

We have provided a default ItemEditTemplate that works as the TextBox that used to appear before these properties were introduced.

So in order to use the ItemEditTemplateSelector, you need to set the ItemEditTemplate to null. In code this is trivial, in xaml you can do it like so: ItemEditTemplate="{x:Null}"

I am sorry that we did not make this clearer in the documentation and examples.

Does this work for you?

All the best,
