Get the item doubleclick event of listview

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);
    }
}

I needed that as well. I found that on msdn:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.activation.aspx

I think this delegate is for that.

In the ListBox DoubleClick event get the selecteditem(s) member of the listbox, and there you are.

void ListBox1DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(string.Format("SelectedItem:\n{0}",listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()));
    }

Either use the MouseDoubleClick event, and also, all the MouseClick events have a click count in the eventargs variable 'e'. So if e.ClickCount == 2, then doubleclicked.

It's annoying, but the best way to do it is something like:

<DataTemplate Name="MyCoolDataTemplate">
    <Grid Loaded="HookLVIClicked" Tag="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ListViewItem}}}">
        <!-- your code here -->
    </Grid>
</DataTemplate>

Then in the code:

public void HookLVIClicked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    var fe = (FrameworkElement)sender;
    var lvi = (ListViewItem)fe.Tag;
    lvi.MouseDoubleClick += MyMouseDoubleClickHandler;
}
