Catch Events from Within Templates

Hello, you should use RoutedEvent="local:MyPage.NextDoc", not NextDocEvent. Just like you normally use RoutedEvent="Button.Click", not ClickEvent.

This works fine for me:

In the Window’s code behind, create a routed event:

public static readonly RoutedEvent TestEvent = EventManager.RegisterRoutedEvent("Test", RoutingStrategy.Tunnel, typeof(RoutedEventHandler), typeof(Window1));

public event RoutedEventHandler Test

{

add { AddHandler(TestEvent, value); }

remove { RemoveHandler(TestEvent, value); }

}

private void RaiseTestEvent()

{

RoutedEventArgs newEventArgs = new RoutedEventArgs(Window1.TestEvent);

RaiseEvent(newEventArgs);

}

Raise this event when clicking a Button (are you missing this step?):

private void Button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

RaiseTestEvent();

}

Use an EventTrigger to handle this event:

<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="local:Window1.Test">

<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource sb}"/>

</EventTrigger>

The animation plays successfully.

I have a very similar situation. My post here explains this. Have you figured out what your issue is? I have been struggling with this for a while now - need to find some alternate solutions soon if I can't figure out what is going on.

I have double-checked and tripple checked for syntatic/spelling errors which the compiler might not catch and have found nothing. For some reason my DataTemplate is not catching the event even though I have verified that the ListBoxItem it is applied to can from code.

Any suggestions out there on how to debug this?

Thanks Rob that was a slightly more helpful piece of information.
So i am in another scope.
Is there a Chance to Trigger that EvenTrigger from within other scopes?
Any solution is ok even a hacky one. I need to catch that Event in the templatescope else I have to work around and remove almost all my templates and work them into my definitions.
That would be good night DRY.
