Question

I have a WPF Custom Control inherited from Button.

How do I programatically get the custom control to capture the Click Event (so that I can record the action and do some internal work)
(basically I want to catch the event and set a certain property to a certain value) and make this part of the classes standard functionality.

From my understanding the custom control should be able to catch it’s own even and do some work.

Help appreciated

Answer 1

try one of the overrides

   public class CustomButton : Button {

      protected override void OnPreviewMouseDown(MouseButtonEventArgs e) {
         base.OnPreviewMouseDown(e);
      }

      protected override void OnPreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(MouseButtonEventArgs e) {
         base.OnPreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(e);
      }
   }
