AutoExpand treeview in WPF

Question

Is there a way to automatically expand all nodes from a treeview in WPF? I searched and didn\'t even find an expand function in the treeview property.

Thanks

This is what I use:

private void ExpandAllNodes(TreeViewItem rootItem)
{
    foreach (object item in rootItem.Items)
    {
        TreeViewItem treeItem = (TreeViewItem)item;

        if (treeItem != null)
        {
            ExpandAllNodes(treeItem);
            treeItem.IsExpanded = true;
        }
    }
}

In order for it to work you must call this method in a foreach loop for the root node:

// this loop expands all nodes
foreach (object item in myTreeView.Items)
{
    TreeViewItem treeItem = (TreeViewItem)item;

    if (treeItem != null)
    {
        ExpandAllNodes(treeItem);
        treeItem.IsExpanded = true;
    }
}
