You have to use the TreeViewItem.IsSelected property. You will have to specify the custom style for all items of the tree view.

<TreeView>
    <TreeView.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
            <Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding IsSelected}"/>
        </Style>
    </TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
