WPF Listview SelectionChanged event

Solution

thanks for the responses.

When I put a breakpoint on the SelectionChanged event, it breaks proceedings there before the screen is fully loaded. You will also see that the first row is 'selected' afterwards on the list. I am not binding to a SelectedIndexValue as you can see in the code. The DataContext for the list is a ReadonlyCollection

In my SelectionChanged event as you can see I notify other objects to be loaded with data relating to the selected item. I only want this to happen when one is selected but not a default one to be set. I have to of these ListViews representing similar data but on loaded none must have an item selected.

I have noticed that the default Selected index is set to -1 on the properties window for the Listview. I can even set this is code on the List_Loaded event, but by then the first SelectionChanged has happened already.

<ListView PreviewMouseDown="ActiveCasesView_MouseDown" x:Name="ActiveCasesView"
                     DataContext="{StaticResource ActiveCasesViewSource}"
                     ItemsSource="{Binding}"
                     ItemTemplate="{StaticResource CasesItemTemplate}"
                     SelectionMode="Single"
                     SelectionChanged="ActiveCasesView_SelectionChanged"
                     ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True" 
                     ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" >
</ListView>

private void ActiveCasesView_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (mouseClicked)
            if (e.AddedItems.Count > 0)
                App.Messenger.NotifyColleagues(App.MSG_SELECT_ACTIVE_CASE, ((CaseViewModel)ActiveCasesView.SelectedItem).CaseNumber);
    }

I added the PreviewMouseDown to set an indicator that I have clicked on the listview in the SelectionChanged event. This does help but I'm not convinced that its the best solution.

Thanks Petrus
