I am currently working on an wpf application where I have a treeview with a hierarchichal datatemplate with my own object "Workstep".
What I want to do:
I want to hit a specific key (letter) and bring the first workstep with the a name starting with that letter on top of my treeview
Why:
Because the treeview is large and scrolling until the specific letter takes a lot of time in the production area of the company i am working for
My work until now: In my viewmodel I catch the keydown event of my treeview with the following method (watch out-> the "K" is just a example letter to show what I mean):
Public Sub TreeViewKeyDown(sender as Object, e as KeyEventArgs)
if e IsNot Nothing AndAlso e.Key = Key.K Then
For Each w In myTree
If w.Name.StartsWith("K") Then
Dim treeViewItem As TreeViewItem = CType(m_TreeViewInstance.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(w), TreeViewItem)
treeViewItem.BringIntoView()
End If
Next
End If
The problem with my current solution is that my items come to view but are not on top of my treeview, as I would like to have.
Does anybody have a clue how to do that?
(btw: Didn't get the answer through this article: Treeview -- How to scroll until selected item is on top?)
