General design of WPF

[Guest]

Hi,

In WPF, I would like to create similar functionality as Windows Explorer has
for renaming folders. (If you press F2 over selected tree view item is
displayed textbox which contains name of folder which can be edited).
In WPF I can do it using TreeView control but I do not know how to position
correctly textbox over selected TreeViewItem after clicking rename. I do not
know how to find out screen position of selected item in TreeView.
But also I am not sure if my approach is correct for WPF based application.

Thanks for any suggestions how to implement similar functionality .

Theres a few ways to do it.. I think.

You could change the content (or header?) of the treeviewitem from a
TextBlock or whatever to a TextBox (or have one there a toggle its
visibility between Collapsed and visible).

Hi John,

Sorry for late reply. Here's an working example which uses style to achieve
this:
