Implement WPF TreeView of the same structure as another TreeView

Question

I have a TreeView which data source is generated in runtime through code to which I don't have access. Its hierarchical data, nodes of tree with 2, 3 or 4 depth levels. I have to make the same structured tree with RadioButtons corresponding to every object in first tree. Is there a way to iterate through every element of TreeView or another method to do my task?

Answer 1

In WPF, we use DataTemplates, or in your case HierarchicalDataTemplates to define how our data should be presented. You already have the data in the first TreeView and that should be accessible from its ItemsSource or Items properties. Therefore, all you need to do is to define another HierarchicalDataTemplate to display the same data object the way that you want it. There is no need to manually iterate through all of the nodes from the original TreeView.
