Question

I have a textBox and I call an event get focus, when click on it. The behaviour is different when I make a double click on it, how can I make an event for getting focus for double click on this textbox?

Answer 1

You can use the OnTap() and OnDoubleTap() methods of the TextBox. And in each method you can define the different logic and set the focus on the TextBox.

Update:

Here’s a simple code structure on how to make it work:

XAML:

<TextBox x:Name="InputTextBox" Margin="0,0,0,520" />

C#

public MainPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    InputTextBox.Tap += InputTextBoxTap;
    InputTextBox.DoubleTap += InputTextBoxDoubleTap;
}

private void InputTextBoxDoubleTap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
    InputTextBox.Text = "Double tapped!";
}

private void InputTextBoxTap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
    InputTextBox.Text = "Tapped!";
}

I tested this on both the emulator and on a device and it works in both cases!
