Hi,
In XamTree(2012) is it possible to use different item templates for nodes at the same level?
In my tree I have an undefined number of levels. I need to associate different item templates based on the type of the data bound to the current item;it would be nice to have something like a template selector. Is XamTree capable of that?
Thank you,
Ernest
Hello Ernest,
After looking into this and doing some research, XamDataTree ItemTemplateSelector has been determined to be a new product idea. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <http://ideas.infragistics.com>.

Hi Stefan,
I will do make that suggestion in "Product Idea" site, but right now I have a task that requires me to implement a new feature.
For this new feature I need a control that behaves similar to a tree, that allows:
Is there any control in Infragistics libraries for Silverlight that allows me to implement this new feature? Maybe XamDataTree ?
The XamDataTree has part of the features you want. Here you can see how to nest nodes to any arbitrary depth:

Here you can see how to create an EditTemplate:

For the template Selectors both for EditorTempalte and ItemTemplate I can suggest you log a product idea. Also I can say that you can use the XamDataTree’s ScrollNodeIntoView in order to bring a Node into view.
Hope this helps you.
