Question

I have Button inside application.resources DataTemplate:

<DataTemplate x:Key="contactItem" DataType="{x:Type Model:Contact}">
<Button x:Name="openButton" Style="{StaticResource openButton}"/>
</DataTemplate>

How can I handle openButton click in UserControl?

<ItemsControl ItemSource="{Binding CurrentContacts}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource contactItem}">
</ItemsControl>

Answer 1

You can add ButtonBase.Click handler to ItemsControl.

 <ItemsControl ButtonBase.Click="MyItemsControl_Click">
  </ItemsControl>

Inside that event handler’s code you can use the DataContext property of e.OriginalSource (it should be of type Button) to access data bound object.

private void MyItemsControl_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var myDataObject = ((Button)e.OriginalSource).DataContext;
}
