WPF listview item mouse enter/over popup

This is because the routing strategy of the Loaded event is Direct, which means that the routed event does not route though an element tree. This is why we are unable to catch the Loaded event from the ListViewItems. You can refer to the doucment of Loaded event to get more information about this. The following example shows how to do this.

{

    public partial class MainWindow : Window

    {

        public MainWindow()

        {

            this.Persons = new List<Person>()

                new Person(){ID=1,Name="AAA",Comment="Comment AAA"},

                new Person(){ID=2,Name="BBB",Comment="Comment BBB"},

                new Person(){ID=3,Name="CCC",Comment="Comment CCC"},

                new Person(){ID=4,Name="DDD",Comment="Comment DDD"},
