WPF C# Bind multiple treeViewItems isSelected to tabItem isSelected-CodePudding

Building on the Q&A here: WPF C# - Bind tab selection to treeView selection

Is it possible to bind the treeViewItem and all of its children and potential future children to the same tabItem selection?

<TreeViewItem Header="Letters" x:Name="tab1">
   <TreeViewItem Header="a" x:Name="tab1_1"/>
   <TreeViewItem Header="b" x:Name="tab1_2"/>
   <TreeViewItem Header="c" x:Name="tab1_3"/>
   <TreeViewItem Header="d" x:Name="tab1_4"/>
   <TreeViewItem Header="e" x:Name="tab1_5"/>
   <TreeViewItem Header="f" x:Name="tab1_6"/>
</TreeViewItem>

Currently it will deselect the tab when clicking on a child node with this code:

<TabItem x:Name="tabLetters"
    IsSelected="{Binding ElementName=tab1, Path=IsSelected}">
</TabItem>

CodePudding user response：

using SelectedValue and SelectedValuePath.

The TreeViewItem child and parent must have the same Uid.
