This one is a follow-up question.

I filter the top level nodes of a TreeView control like shown below.

private void ApplyFilterHandler(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (_filterCheckBox.IsChecked.Value)
        CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(TopLevelNodes).Filter += MyFilter;
    else
        CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(TopLevelNodes).Filter -= MyFilter;
}  

.

<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding TopLevelNodes}">
  ...
</TreeView>

When the user applies the filter all nodes get collapsed.

Question
How can I hide certain nodes in a tree while retaining the expand state of the other nodes?
Can someone explain, what happens internally on ICollectionView.Filter += MyFilter.

Thanks for your time.
