I have the following XAML, that does all that it is supposed to, except that the MultiBinding on the FontSize fails on retrieving the Users (I see DependencyProperty.UnsetData when I set a breakpoint in the converter). As you can see Users is an IEnumerable<UserData>
that is part of the HierarchicalDataTemplate's DataContext.
How do I reference it??
<TreeView Name="AllGroups" ItemsSource="{Binding}" >
<TreeView.Resources>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type PrivateMessengerUI:GroupContainer}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Users}"
>
<Label Content="{Binding GroupName}"/>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type PrivateMessenger:UserData}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Username}"
ToolTip="{StaticResource UserDataGroupBox}"
Name="GroupedUser"
MouseDown="GroupedUser_MouseDown">
<TextBlock.FontSize>
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource LargeWhenIAmSelected}">
<Binding ElementName="Root" Path="SelectedUser"/>
<Binding RelativeSource="???"
Path="DataContext.Users"/>
</MultiBinding>
</TextBlock.FontSize>
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
The correct answer is:
<Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor,
AncestorType={x:Type TreeViewItem},
AncestorLevel=2}"
Path="DataContext.Users"/>
The ancestorlevel is crucial and deceptive: when you omit it, a level of 1 is assumed and that actually points to the container of the DataTemplate (which is a childless TreeViewItem too!), not the container of the HierarchicalDataTemplate.
