How to Fire Event on SFDiagram Node Selection

Hi,

So I'm bashing my head against a wall trying to figure out what should be simple.  However the documentation doesn't really give a good answer.

I have an SFDiagram filled with nodes.  I am using MVVM design.

I want to be able to click one of the nodes, and have it do something.

I tried to add an event handler for clicking on the SFDiagram, but it doesn't seem to work:

        public MainWindow()

            InitializeComponent();
            InitDiagram();
            controller.AddRoot();
            Link_Grid.ItemsSource = controller.viewmodel.Links;

        private void InitDiagram()

            lmWindow.DataSourceSettings = settings;
            settings.DataSource = controller.viewmodel.Links;
            (lmWindow.Info as IGraphInfo).ItemAdded += MainWindow_ItemAdded;

    }

        private void Metro_Theme_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            SkinStorage.SetVisualStyle(this, "Metro");
        }

        private void Blend_Theme_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

            }

        }


        //Apply Node and Connector Style
        private void MainWindow_ItemAdded(object sender, ItemAddedEventArgs args)
        {
            if (args.Item is INode)
            {
                (args.Item as INode).UnitWidth = 10;
                (args.Item as INode).UnitHeight = 10;
                (args.Item as INode).ContentTemplate = this.lmWindow.Resources["contentTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
            }
            else if (args.Item is IConnector)
            {
                SolidColorBrush solid = new SolidColorBrush();
                solid.Color = Color.FromArgb(255, 186, 186, 186);
                (args.Item as IConnector).TargetDecoratorStyle = this.Resources["style"] as Style;
            }
        }      
    }

Also, if I could figure out which node I selected?  And what the collections index of the node is?

 Hi John, 
 
Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support. 
 
Please find the responses to your queries as below.

I want to be able to click one of the nodes, and have it do something. 
 
Requirement:” Need to fire an Event When the Node is Selected”. 
 
We have ItemSelectedEvent support for Diagram which will fire when an item (Node and Connector) is Selected. We have provided a code Example to represent this. Please refer to the code example as below.  
 
Code Example: 
//ItemSelectedEvent 
(diagram.Info as IGraphInfo).ItemSelectedEvent += MainWindow_ItemSelectedEvent; 
private void MainWindow_ItemSelectedEvent(object sender, DiagramEventArgs args) 
{ 
   if (args.Item != null && args.Item is INode) 
     { 
       INode node = args.Item as INode; 
       //node.IsSelected 
       //node.ZIndex; 
 
      } 
} 
 
Here, diagram is instance of SfDiagram.

Also, if I could figure out which node I selected?   
We have IsSelected Property for Node/Connector which is used to know the Selected item from the Diagram (Nodes and Connector). Please refer the above code example.

And what the collections index of the node is? 
We have ZIndex Property for Node/Connector which is used to know the Index. Please refer the above code example.
