Question

I have a Treeview in my WPF application. I need to copy the elements in my treeview.

private void copyCmdBinding_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // Set text to clip board 
    TreeView tvi = (TreeView)sender;
    Clipboard.SetText(tvi.SelectedValue.ToString());
}

But here the tvi.SelectedValue wouldn’t return the text which i selected in my treeview. How can i get the text value i selected in my treeview.

Update:

<TreeView Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0"  
          HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name="treeView1" 
          SelectedItemChanged="treeView1_SelectedItemChanged">
    <TreeView.CommandBindings>
        <CommandBinding Command="ApplicationCommands.Copy" 
                        Executed="copyCmdBinding_Executed" 
                        CanExecute="copyCmdBinding_CanExecute"/>
    </TreeView.CommandBindings>
    //Tree elements
</TreeView>

try this:

((TreeViewItem)tvi.SelectedItem).Header.ToString())

in general this code may be useful:

((T1)tvi.SelectedItem).P.ToString()) 
// T1: type of property that is binded, 
// P: proper method or property that hold the string content
