Get the item doubleclick event of listview

Question

What do I need to do in order to reference the double click event for a listview control?

Answer 1

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>     <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">         <EventSetter Event="MouseDoubleClick" Handler="listViewItem_MouseDoubleClick" />     </Style> </ListView.ItemContainerStyle> 

The only difficulty then is if you are interested in the underlying object the listviewitem maps to e.g.

private void listViewItem_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) {     ListViewItem item = sender as ListViewItem;     object obj = item.Content; } 

Answer 2

I'm using something like this to only trigger on ListViewItem double-click and not for example when you double-click on the header of the ListView.

private void ListView_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) {     DependencyObject obj = (DependencyObject)e.OriginalSource;      while (obj != null && obj != myListView)     {         if (obj.GetType() == typeof(ListViewItem))         {             // Do something here             MessageBox.Show("A ListViewItem was double clicked!");              break;         }         obj = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(obj);     } }
