Hi guys,
I have a SplitButton with a Click event, as well as a menu with items with their own Click event. When I click the arrow on the SplitButton and then on one of the menu items (Ribbon Button), the event of the menu item is fired, but right there after, the event of the SplitButton is fired. Is this really by design? I would only expect the Click event of the SplitButton to be fired when clicking directly on it and not on a child item.
I don't believe the SplitButton itself raises the Click event. Perhaps it's just the other one bubbling up, as many WPF events do. Check the event's source to see.
Yes the Source is the button in the menu I clicked. I don't understand how the two relate though? Does this mean that I have to set the Handled property each and everytime I deal with a button that might be a part of a menu??
It sounds like it's just standard WPF event bubbling. Yes, when you handle an event that bubbles, you might want to set e.Handled = true to prevent it from continuing to bubble. Or you can just ignore it if you see the source doesn't come from the element you think it should be from.
