Question

How is it possible to programmatically select an item in a WPF TreeView? The ItemsControl model seems to prevent it.

Try with this

    /// 

    /// Selects the tree view item.
    /// 
    /// The collection.
    /// The value.
    /// 
    private TreeViewItem SelectTreeViewItem(ItemCollection Collection, String Value)
    {
        if (Collection == null) return null;
        foreach(TreeViewItem Item in Collection)
        {
            /// Find in current
            if (Item.Header.Equals(Value))
            {
                Item.IsSelected = true;
                return Item;
            }
            /// Find in Childs
            if (Item.Items != null)
            {
                TreeViewItem childItem = this.SelectTreeViewItem(Item.Items, Value);
                if (childItem != null)
                {
                    Item.IsExpanded = true;
                    return childItem;
                }
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
