Question

In Blend, I took a simple button –> Edit Template –> Create Empty…
Added an image for the button, and filled some visual states.

Now I want to expose an OnClick event :

public partial class MyButton : UserControl
{
    public MyButton()
    {
        // Required to initialize variables
        InitializeComponent();          
        button.Click += Click;                                          
    }

    public event RoutedEventHandler Click;
}

But this doesn’t work for me. What is wrong ?

It’s not clear what exactly doesn’t work here, but looks like you’re trying to assign Click delegate to your button.Click event while Click is empty. What you should do is assign another delegate which will invoke Click.

Replace button.Click += Click; with:

button.Click += (sender, args) => { if (Click != null) Click(sender, args); };
