WPF/MVVM – how to handle double-click on TreeViewItems in the ViewModel?

by

Updating my answer a bit.

I’ve tried alot of different approaches for this and I still feel like Attached Behaviors is the best solution. Although it might look like alot of overhead in the begining it really isn’t. I keep all of my behaviors for ICommands in the same place and whenever I need support for another event it is just a matter of copy/paste and change the event in the PropertyChangedCallback.

I also added the optional support for CommandParameter.

In the designer it is just a matter of selecting the desired event

enter image description here

You can set this either on TreeView, TreeViewItem or any other place that you like.

Example. Set it on the TreeView

<TreeView commandBehaviors:MouseDoubleClick.Command="{Binding YourCommand}"
          commandBehaviors:MouseDoubleClick.CommandParameter="{Binding}"
          .../>

Example. Set it on TreeViewItem

<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding Projects}">
    <TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
            <Setter Property="commandBehaviors:MouseDoubleClick.Command"
                    Value="{Binding YourCommand}"/>
            <Setter Property="commandBehaviors:MouseDoubleClick.CommandParameter"
                    Value="{Binding}"/>
        </Style>
    </TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
</TreeView>

And here is the Attached Behavior MouseDoubleClick

public class MouseDoubleClick
{
    public static DependencyProperty CommandProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("Command",
        typeof(ICommand),
        typeof(MouseDoubleClick),
        new UIPropertyMetadata(CommandChanged));

    public static DependencyProperty CommandParameterProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("CommandParameter",
                                            typeof(object),
                                            typeof(MouseDoubleClick),
                                            new UIPropertyMetadata(null));

    public static void SetCommand(DependencyObject target, ICommand value)
    {
        target.SetValue(CommandProperty, value);
    }

    public static void SetCommandParameter(DependencyObject target, object value)
    {
        target.SetValue(CommandParameterProperty, value);
    }
    public static object GetCommandParameter(DependencyObject target)
    {
        return target.GetValue(CommandParameterProperty);
    }

    private static void CommandChanged(DependencyObject target, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        Control control = target as Control;
        if (control != null)
        {
            if ((e.NewValue != null) && (e.OldValue == null))
            {
                control.MouseDoubleClick += OnMouseDoubleClick;
            }
            else if ((e.NewValue == null) && (e.OldValue != null))
            {
                control.MouseDoubleClick -= OnMouseDoubleClick;
            }
        }
    }

    private static void OnMouseDoubleClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Control control = sender as Control;
        ICommand command = (ICommand)control.GetValue(CommandProperty);
        object commandParameter = control.GetValue(CommandParameterProperty);
        command.Execute(commandParameter);
    }
}
