WPF ListView – detect when selected item is clicked

by

Use the ListView.ItemContainerStyle property to give your ListViewItems an EventSetter that will handle the PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown event. Then, in the handler, check to see if the item that was clicked is selected.

XAML:

<ListView ItemsSource={Binding MyItems}>
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <!-- declare a GridViewColumn for each property -->
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
    <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
            <EventSetter Event="PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown" Handler="ListViewItem_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown" />
        </Style>
    </ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListView>

Code-behind:

private void ListViewItem_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    var item = sender as ListViewItem;
    if (item != null && item.IsSelected)
    {
        //Do your stuff
    }
}
