WPF selection of a TreeView item as context menu is called

Question

This problem relates mainly to context menus, but in my specific case it\'s about a TreeView control.

The TreeView item contains a StackPanel, and on that StackPanel

Answer 1

A quick solution might be to simply register the TreeView's MouseRightButtonDown event, check if the click was on a TreeViewItem and select it:

TreeView.MouseRightButtonDown += Tv_MouseRightButtonDown;

void Tv_MouseRightButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) {
    var tvItem = e.Source as TreeViewItem;
    if (tvItem != null) {
        tvItem.IsSelected = true;
    }
}
