No one is having a problem with the error "expression of type 'System.Windows.DependencyObject' can never be of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem'"??? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here...

I'm not sure if it would work in your case, Mike, but this worked for me:
private void ListViewItem_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
ListViewItem listViewItemSender = sender as ListViewItem;
MyBusinessObject doubleClickedBO = myListView.ItemContainerGenerator.ItemFromContainer(listViewItemSender) as MyBusinessObject;
}

Very Good post!

MessageBox.Show("you selected: " + app.Content);

I'm assuming you mean to use a binding to TheSelectedItem, but anyway that wouldn't work in my particular case for at least two reasons:

1. I'm using a multi-selected ListView (SelectionMode of Multiple), so SelectedItem is meaningless.

2. I only want to act in response to mouse double-clicks, not selection.

Responding to a selection is easy, but it isn't what I'm trying to do. In any case, if you want take action on a selection change, a better way to do that is to use the SelectionChanged event.

That's overly complex.

Why would you do...

That's overly complex.

Why would you do that?

If you have a listview, just do

<ListView SelectedItem="TheSelectedItem" ... >

and in the setter for TheSelectedItem do what you want with it.

MyDataItemType item = (MyDataItemType...

2008-12-14T12:04:00.000-08:00

Using

MyDataItemType item = (MyDataItemType)((ListViewItem)dep).DataContext

instead of

MyDataItemType item = (MyDataItemType)MyListView.ItemContainerGenerator.ItemFromContainer(dep);

is a bit more straight forward but may only work, if data source binding is used for the list view.

As the last comment indicated, you need to handle ContentElement's differently. If you hit a content element then you should get the logical parent.

2008-07-02T06:02:00.000-07:00

This code fails if the OriginalSource is derived from FrameworkContentElemnt (e.g. anything in a FlowDocument, such as Document.Run). Unfortunately, VisualTreeHelper deals with Visual and FrameworkElement objects, but not FrameworkContentElement objects. 8-|

Thanks much, you just saved me some time figuring it out. Here is a VB version.
Dim clickedToDoItem As ToDoItemInfo
Dim dep As DependencyObject = CType(e.OriginalSource, DependencyObject)
Do While dep IsNot Nothing AndAlso Not TypeOf (dep) Is ListViewItem
dep = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(dep)
Loop
If dep Is Nothing Then
Return
Else
clickedToDoItem = CType(Me.lvToDo.ItemContainerGenerator.ItemFromContainer(dep), ToDoItemInfo)
End If
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("You clicked item: date={0},description={1}", clickedToDoItem.Due, clickedToDoItem.Description))

I saw how to get row or item, but how can I get column information from the mouse click position?
