Question

For Windows Phone. How can I tell when the “search” button is clicked when I set InputScope to search on a TextBox? Is there an event?

Answer 1

When the InputScope is set to “Search”, the “search” button is just a restyled “enter” button. So, assuming:

<TextBox InputScope="Search" KeyDown="SearchBox_KeyDown" />

the “search ” button being pressed (on the SIP) can be detected with:

private void SearchBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
    {
        // Do search...
    }
}
