WPF Keep only one TreeViewItem expanded if it is selected, collapse the others unless it is the ance

Time:09-16

I have a TreeViewItem with custom Style, which I want to have a behavior like the following, so I want to set it as a side menu in my WPF application. The problem is that I want to keep only one TreeViewItem as expanded, while the others are collapsed, as long as they are not ancestors of the selected one. For example if I select, Cat, within Mammal, Mammal should obviously be expanded as well, but not Insects. If I select Africa, Africa and Continents must be expanded, while America, Europe and Asia must be collapsed. Also something strange happens, the SelectedItemChanged event is not firing, so the IsSelected property is not changing when selecting a new TreeViewItem, so I leave the style that I apply to the TreeViewItem.

Treeview with TreeViewItems how looks like

CodePudding user response:

I recommend to use this simple snippet, a simple global style, which can be converted as a Behavior

<Window.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
        <EventSetter Event="Expanded" Handler="TreeViewItem_Expanded"/>
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>

And a handler for the EventSetter

private void TreeViewItem_Expanded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var trvi = sender as TreeViewItem;
    //Using pattern matching
    //If parent is an ItemsControl and it's the current expanded item
    //That's a generic way to achieve such behavior
    if(trvi is {Parent: ItemsControl parent, IsExpanded: true })
        foreach (TreeViewItem item in parent.Items)
            item.IsExpanded = false;
}

UPDATE

Since you asked to collapse the entire branch after select another branch, the you should walk & collapse recursively the nodes

private void TreeViewItem_Expanded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var trvi = sender as TreeViewItem;
    if (trvi is { Parent: ItemsControl parent, IsExpanded: true })
        foreach (TreeViewItem item in parent.Items)
            if (item != trvi && item.IsExpanded)
                CollapseBranch(item);


}

private static void CollapseBranch(TreeViewItem trvi)
{
    trvi.IsExpanded = false;

    foreach (TreeViewItem item in trvi.Items)
        CollapseBranch(item);
}
