How to put a MouseDown event in a Style?

c#, event-handling, styles, wpf

Solution

Try EventSetter :)

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}" x:Key="ClickableTextBlockStyle">
        <EventSetter Event="MouseDown" Handler="Handle_Click" />
    </Style>

Problem

This works: XAML: ``` <Window x:Class="Test239992.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"> <StackPanel> <TextBlock Tag="1" Text="Customers" MouseDown="Handle_Click"/> <TextBlock Tag="2" Text="Appointments" MouseDown="Handle_Click"/> </StackPanel> </Window> ``` Code Behind: ``` using System; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; using System.Windows.Input; namespace Test239992 { public partial class Window1 : Window { public Window1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Handle_Click(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) { int id = Int32.Parse(((TextBlock)sender).Tag.ToString()); MessageBox.Show("you chose id " + id.ToString()); } } } ``` But how do I put the MouseDown event in a style, this gives me the error "Cannot find the Style Property 'MouseDown' on the type 'System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock'": ``` <Window x:Class="Test239992.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"> <Window.Resources> <Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}" x:Key="ClickableTextBlockStyle"> <Setter Property="MouseDown" Value="Handle_Click" /> </Style> </Window.Resources> <StackPanel> <TextBlock Tag="1" Text="Customers" Style="{DynamicResource ClickableTextBlockStyle}"/> <TextBlock Tag="2" Text="Appointments" Style="{DynamicResource ClickableTextBlockStyle}"/> </StackPanel> </Window> ```
