Single click edit in WPF DataGrid

Question

I want the user to be able to put the cell into editing mode and highlight the row the cell is contained in with a single click. By default, this is double click.

The solution from http://wpf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Single-Click%20Editing worked great for me, but I enabled it for every DataGrid using a Style defined in a ResourceDictionary. To use handlers in resource dictionaries you need to add a code-behind file to it. Here's how you do it:

This is a DataGridStyles.xaml Resource Dictionary:

Note the x:Class attribute in the root element. Create a class file. In this example it'd be DataGridStyles.xaml.cs. Put this code inside:

using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Input;

namespace YourNamespace
{
    partial class DataGridStyles : ResourceDictionary
    {

        public DataGridStyles()
        {
          InitializeComponent();
        }

     // The code from the myermian's answer goes here.
}
