You would likely be best served with defining a DataTemplate selector, and creating several datatemplates. The selector can evaluate all kinds of logical rules, and return the template that you want.
I solved this myself by adding an event handler on click for each of the child TreeViewItems I am concerned with. With this I could then get the DataContext from it, and set it to be the DataContext of the TextBoxs, and create my own bindings.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
