Question

I have this Tree View that looks like this:

        <TreeView 
                Grid.Column="0"
                Grid.Row="2"

                        ItemsSource="{Binding}"
                        IsExpanded="True"
                        ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ProjectTemplate}">
                    <TreeViewItem.ContextMenu>
                        <ContextMenu>
                            <MenuItem Header="{Resx ResxName=PSSPECApplication.Controls.ProjectControlResources, Key=projectTree_Paste_Header}" 
                                    InputGestureText="{Resx ResxName=PSSPECApplication.Controls.ProjectControlResources, Key=projectTree_Paste_InputGestureText}" />

                    </TreeViewItem.ContextMenu>
                </TreeViewItem>
            </TreeView>

And here is my click event

    private void EditProject_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        //how do I find the bound item of the node this context menu resides on?
    }

I am trying to write the EditProject_Click event for the ContextMenu MenuItem click event. When I click it, I want to be able to find the item Bound to the node that the context menu resides. How do I do that?

The answer

    private void EditProject_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Project project = (Project)((MenuItem)sender).DataContext;

        //Do stuff with the project here
    }

Also, if you want to get your ContextMenu to update it’s DataContext from the element the ContextMenu is suppose to be attached to, here is the syntax for that:

<ContextMenu DataContext="{Binding PlacementTarget.DataContext, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">

Answer 1

In the click event handler, would “(sender as FrameworkElement).DataContext” be what you’re looking for?

EDIT:

Sample code below.

XAML:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication3.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:v="clr-namespace:WpfApplication3"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Window.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="template">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding}">
                <TextBlock.ContextMenu>
                    <ContextMenu>
                        <MenuItem Header="Test" Click="MenuItem_Click"/>
                    </ContextMenu>
                </TextBlock.ContextMenu>
            </TextBlock>
        </DataTemplate>
    </Window.Resources>
    <DockPanel>
        <Button DockPanel.Dock="Top" Click="Button_Click">Change Context</Button>

        <TreeView x:Name="tv" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource template}"/>

    </DockPanel>

</Window>

Code-behind:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    bool flag = false;
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        List list = new List() { "A", "B", "C", "D" };
        this.tv.ItemsSource = list;
    }
    private void MenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show((sender as MenuItem).DataContext.ToString());
    }
    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (flag)
        {
            List list = new List() { "A", "B", "C", "D" };
            this.tv.ItemsSource = list;
        }
        else
        {
            List list = new List() { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
            this.tv.ItemsSource = list;
        }
        flag = !flag;
    }

}
