How to get last item from Listview when items are multiselected

Question

I have a little problem with multiselect and SelectedItem property. My application works in following way: When I click on a record in Listview, data from this record displays in textboxes. And now here is my problem. I want to achieve funcionality like: When I click on a record one after another I want to display data of last selected item. Unfortunately SelectedItem works only for first element. Could you help me? I attached necessary portion of code:

MainWindow.xaml

<ListView Name="EmployeeListView" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="160" Margin="0,153,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="755" Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{Binding FilteredCollection, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedEmployee, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" SelectedIndex="{Binding SelectedIndex}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True">
            <ListView.View>
                <GridView>
                    <GridViewColumn Header="EmployeeName" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding EmployeeName}" />
                    <GridViewColumn Header="EmployeeID" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding EmployeeID}" />
                    <GridViewColumn Header="EmployeeSalary" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding EmployeeSalary}" />
                    <GridViewColumn Header="EmployeeDesigner" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding EmployeeDesigner}" />
                    <GridViewColumn Header="EmployeeEmailID" Width="150" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding EmployeeEmailID}" />
                </GridView>
            </ListView.View>
            <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
                    <Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, Path=IsSelected, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>

Answer 1

I played around a bit and came up with this solution.
My goal was to make the use of Binding possible.
If you discover any bug let me know.

I created an attached behavior and corresponding attached property

public static class LastSelectedItemBehavior
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty ExposeLastSelectedItemProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("ExposeLastSelectedItem", typeof(bool), typeof(LastSelectedItemBehavior),
            new PropertyMetadata(false, ExposeLastSelectedItemChanged));
    public static bool GetExposeLastSelectedItem(ListBox element)
    {
        return (bool)element.GetValue(ExposeLastSelectedItemProperty);
    }
    public static void SetExposeLastSelectedItem(ListBox element, bool value)
    {
        element.SetValue(ExposeLastSelectedItemProperty, value);
    }
    private static void ExposeLastSelectedItemChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (d is ListBox listBox && e.NewValue is bool boolValue)
        {
            if (boolValue)
            {
                listBox.SelectionChanged += ListBox_SelectedItemsChanged;
            }
            else
            {
                listBox.SelectionChanged -= ListBox_SelectedItemsChanged;
            }
        }
    }
    private static void ListBox_SelectedItemsChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        var listBox = (ListBox) sender;
        listBox.SetValue(LastSelectedItemPropertyKey, listBox.SelectedItems.Count > 0 ? listBox.SelectedItems[listBox.SelectedItems.Count - 1] : default(object));
    }

    private static readonly DependencyPropertyKey LastSelectedItemPropertyKey =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttachedReadOnly(
            "LastSelectedItem", 
            typeof(object), 
            typeof(LastSelectedItemBehavior),
            new PropertyMetadata(default(object)));
    public static readonly DependencyProperty LastSelectedItemProperty = LastSelectedItemPropertyKey.DependencyProperty;

    public static object GetLastSelectedItem(ListBox element)
    {
        return element.GetValue(LastSelectedItemProperty);
    }
}

On your ListView you have to set ExposeLastSelectedItem

<ListView x:Name="listView" local:LastSelectedItemBehavior.ExposeLastSelectedItem="True" />

And then you can bind like this

<ContentControl Content="{Binding ElementName=listView, Path=(local:LastSelectedItemBehavior.LastSelectedItem)}" />

Edit:

MVVM friendly solution using method from Dmitry Tashkinov

<ListView x:Name="listView" local:LastSelectedItemBehavior.ExposeLastSelectedItem="True">
    <local:DataPiping.DataPipes>
        <local:DataPipeCollection>
            <local:DataPipe 
                Source="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ListView}}, Path=(local:LastSelectedItemBehavior.LastSelectedItem)}"
                Target="{Binding Path=LastSelectedItem, Mode=OneWayToSource}"/>
        </local:DataPipeCollection>
    </local:DataPiping.DataPipes>
</ListView>

Answer 2

I have solved my problem on my own. I attached portions of added code. Before all you have to do steps from this article. It is necessary to handle interaction triggers. Solution: When I select item I add its index to a list. SelectedItem property set at selected item which I chose. Then IsSelected property set at true for these Employees which indexes are in a list. I use HashSet to avoid duplicated values: When I chose second item to a list, an index of first selected item was added to a list once more time. Feel free to comment :)

XAML file (add to ListView control):

            <i:Interaction.Triggers>
                <i:EventTrigger EventName="SelectionChanged">
                    <i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding SelectionChanged}"/>
                </i:EventTrigger>
            </i:Interaction.Triggers>

Employee.cs file

        public HashSet<int> IndexesOfSelectedEmployees
        {
            get
            {
                return indexesOfSelectedEmployees;
            }
            set
            {
                indexesOfSelectedEmployees = value;
                OnPropertyChanged("IndexesOfSelectedEmployees");
            }
        }

EmployeeViewModel.cs file:

          public void OnSelectionChanged(object parameter)
          {

            if(SelectedEmployee == null)
            {
                IndexesOfSelectedEmployees.Clear();
            }
            if(SelectedEmployee != null)
            {
                foreach (Employee item in Employees)
                {
                    if (item.IsSelected == true)
                    {
                        IndexesOfSelectedEmployees.Add(SelectedIndex.GetValueOrDefault());
                    }
                }
                foreach (int itemIndexesOfSelectedEmployees in IndexesOfSelectedEmployees)
                {
                    foreach (Employee itemEmployees in Employees)
                    {
                        if (itemIndexesOfSelectedEmployees == Employees.IndexOf(itemEmployees))
                        {
                            itemEmployees.IsSelected = true;
                        }
                    }
                }
          }
