Yep… I double checked and EventSetters definitely do not work for styles in a resource dictionary.

Actually, that’s my (2nd) point as well – and why we use my sample code only on those lists that need to handle the DoubleClick. But by attaching it to the style of the ListItem, the handler gets the item clicked – and you don’t have to search for it.

Normally, I would agree. However, our case was one in which we had the item styles determining the visuals of all the ListViews in the application. That’s well over 100 ListViews and not all of them needed to respond to DoubleClick events.

This solution allows us to use standardized styles while being able to create the DoubleClick events on a case-by-case basis.

gotta agree using a style is so much easier. we use them extensively and have a StyleManager class with static instances:

// handle the ListItem double click
Style style = new Style(typeof(ListViewItem), StyleManager.StyleListViewItem);
style.Setters.Add(new EventSetter(ListViewItem.MouseDoubleClickEvent,
new MouseButtonEventHandler(OnDoubleClickListViewItem)));
TableListView.ItemContainerStyle = style;

Removed tags so that it hopefully does not disappear

Style TargetType=”{x:Type ListViewItem}”
EventSetter Event=”Control.MouseDoubleClick” Handler=”OnEdit”
Style

Why not use a style and get directly from sender?

Place in resources, (should use a name on it if several listviews are used.

private void OnEdit(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// The sender is the listview item
}
