Howdy,
I'm generating a bunch of Textblocks in a StackPanel. I would love to open another page when clicking on one Textbox:
sp.Children.Add(new TextBlock { Text = "Click me, I wanna open new content" });
How could I do that, it's probably something with "triggers" but I couldn't find anything on the web :-/.
Thanks!
You could use the Toolkit to add a gesture listener for the Tap event.
Alternatively you could use a HyperlinkButton as this contains a Click event.
Edit:
Example of using HyperlinkButton:
var sp = new StackPanel();
var hlb = new HyperlinkButton {Content = "click me"};
hlb.Click += hlb_Click;
sp.Children.Add(hlb);
ContentPanel.Children.Add(sp);
private void hlb_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/AnotherPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
}
Use TextBlock.ManipulationStarted event to detect a touch on it.

I need to pass some additional information with a button press. From what I could gather reading on the web I should use a button tag.
So far I have this
Button button = new Button(this);
button.Text = "Test Button";
button.SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Black);
button.SetTextColor(Android.Graphics.Color.White);
button.Tag = "hello";
button.Click += ClickEvent;
And this is the handler:
public void ClickEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Android.Widget.Button button = (Android.Widget.Button)sender;
var test = button.Tag;
}
This works, but I need to be able to pass 3 ints of data. I have tried using an array but I have no idea how to read it in the handler as it comes back as a java.object.
Can anyone please push me in the right direction?
I am developing a Windows UWP App with C++. I want to add a button that can either be left-clicked or right-clicked and do corresponding task.
The button works perfectly on normal devices with mouse. Unfortunately on touch screen, if users press-and-hold the button, both left-click and right-click events are triggered.
I am using "Click" to handle the left click event and "RightTapped" to handle the right click event. Any suggestion on how to disable the left-click event when users press-and-hold the button? Thank you!
The XAML code is short:
<Button x:Name="m_NewPageButton"
Content="New Page"
Height="48"
Width="199"
Click="OnClick"
RightTapped="OnRightClick"/>
And here's the cpp code:
void MainPage::OnClick()
{
// Left click task
}
void MainPage::OnRightClick()
{
// Right click task
}
Edit:
Thanks guys, the solution is to change the left click handler to , which will not be triggered by press-and-hold.
Hacky but works...
private bool rightClicked;
private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (rightClicked)
return;
await new MessageDialog("left").ShowAsync();
}
private async void Button_RightTapped(object sender, RightTappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
rightClicked = true;
await new MessageDialog("right").ShowAsync();
rightClicked = false;
}
I'm guessing this is a flaw in the design.. :(
Actually... If you use the button's Tapped and RightTapped events it works as it should. So in this case just replace Clicked with Tapped and all is well... Then you can ignore the hack I put above.
You can use the Holding event to detect a tap and hold. Use the Tapped event for a single tap (or click). The Tapped event should only fire for touch on a quick tap and release. The mouse specific click will raise Tapped but a touch tap-and-hold will not.
I need to fire a popup when ApplicationBarMenuItem clicked. but nothing happen when I click MenuItem. here is my code;
<shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
<shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Text="Go by date" Click="GoByDate_Click" />
</shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
private void GoByDate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Popup popup = new Popup();
popup.Height = 480;
popup.Width = 480;
popup.VerticalOffset = 100;
DatePopupControl datePopup = new DatePopupControl(); // just a user control comes when add new
popup.Child = datePopup;
popup.IsOpen = true;
}
Something is wrong with your DatePopupControl, because your code worked fine for my own test control. Can you provide DatePopupControl source code?
Alright, let me try to guess. My first theory is: there is nothing to show in this popup.
For example, if you add a userControl, which has only Grid tag inside without anything, you will see in the editor in Visual Studio, but it won't be visible as a popup child. But if you add a single textblock, it will be.
I want to give the privilage for the user to rename a file. For that When the user clicks on menu item 'rename'a pop up dialogue with and editable text box should show up with 'ok' and 'cancel' buttons? How can i implement it? Pls share the code if there are any.

You can use the InputPrompt from the Coding4fun Tookit
The documentation is available on Codeplex: http://coding4fun.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=InputPrompt&referringTitle=Documentation
Calling it is straightforward:
var input = new InputPrompt();
input.Completed += InputCompleted;
input.Title = "Rename file";
input.Message = "Enter a new name for the file:";
input.Show();
Then you just have to retrieve the value in the callback:
private void InputCompleted(object sender, PopUpEventArgs<object, PopUpResult> e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Result);
}
I'm trying to get the parent name of a context menu item.
So I tried something like this on menuItem_click :
Button clikance = (Button)sender;
string ladyGaga = Convert.ToString(clikance.Content);
But it didn't work (invalid cast exception). thx for any help
i have use a different approach for getting the sender button of my context menu. i have made an event on the "hold_click"
where i have get back the content of the button in a public string
private void GestureListener_DoubleTap(object sender, GestureEventArgs e)
{
Button clikance = (Button)sender;
ButtonEnvoyeur = Convert.ToString(clikance.Content);
}
If you look in the debugger at the point where the exception is raised, you'll see that sender isn't a Button, so trying to do an explicit cast to Button will obviously throw an InvalidCastException.
You can use the VisualTreeHelper to walk up the tree from your actual sender to the Button element:
VisualTreeHelper.GetParent((sender as DependencyObject));
UPDATE: In your instance sender is the MenuItem in the ContextMenu. You can get to the parent ContextMenu from the MenuItem by using the VisualTreeHelper, but unfortunately, ContextMenu does not expose any public members that enable you to access the owner; the Owner property is internal. You could get the source code for the Toolkit and expose the Owner property as publi instead, or use a completely different approach.
Have you thought of using an MVVM framework (such as MVVM Light) to wire up commands to these context menu items? Your current approach is very fragile and will break as soon as you change the visual tree. If you used commands, you could pass any additional information that you need for processing via the command parameter.
Use the Tag property of the MenuItem to retrieve your Button :
// Object creation
Button myButtonWithContextMenu = new Button();
ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
MenuItem aMenuItem = new MenuItem
{
Header = "some action",
Tag = myButtonWithContextMenu, // tag contains the button
};
// Events handler
aMenuItem.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(itemClick);
private void itemClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// Sender is the MenuItem
MenuItem menuItem = sender as MenuItem;
// Retrieve button from tag
Button myButtonWithContextMenu = menuItem.Tag as Button;
(...)
}
