TreeView Selection

How do I make whatever treeitem that happens to be under a right mouse
button click the selected item in a TreeView? I've used the
myTreeView.InputHitTest( e.GetPosition( myTreeView )) method, but not sure
what to do with the IInputElement returned....

Thanks!

I should also add that I am leveraging the HierarchicalDataTemplate with the
TreeView, so I'm not getting TreeViewItem objects ( which has the IsSelected
property )...

Figured it out. I'm posting this as this took me a number of hours to figure
out, and I hope this can save some other folks some time. I'd also like to
see a MUCH easier way of doing this, so if some smart MS dev can chime in,
I'd sure appreciate it!

Here's the code. Again, I'm populating a TreeView control using a
HierarchicalDataTemplate and wanted to make the Right button down event
select the node under the click before raising a context menu:

private void OnRightButtonDown( object sender, MouseEventArgs e )
{
if( e.MouseDevice.Target is FrameworkElement )
{
FrameworkElement element = e.MouseDevice.Target as
FrameworkElement;
System.Windows.Controls.ContentPresenter pres =
element.TemplatedParent as ContentPresenter;

if( pres != null )
{
TreeViewItem viewItem = pres.TemplatedParent as TreeViewItem;

if( viewItem == null )
{
viewItem =
mProjectTree.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem( pres.Content ) as
TreeViewItem;
}

if( viewItem != null )
{
viewItem.IsSelected = true;
}
}
}
}

Cheers,

CS
