Split Button Click behaviour - Ribbon for WPF Forum

Posted 16 years ago by Ravi Kumar

Version: 3.0.0402

Thanks for the new WPF Studio Release. The ribbon is now responding very faster.

I have a split button in my ribbon which has a click event associated with the split button itself (i.e. the big button) and it also have some menu items where each menu item has a click event associated with. With the latest WPF studio (v3.0.0402), when I select a menu item, in addition to the click event of menu item, the click event of the split button is also firing. This worked correctly with the earlier version i.e. v1.0.0348. Is the behaviour of this changed? What should be done to have separate click events for both the menu items and the split button?

Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

Hi Ravi,

I think this is because the Click event is now an attached event and it bubbles up, similar to how WPF's mouse events work. If you look at the RoutedEventArgs when it fires, you'll see that e.Source is the menu item you clicked.

I did a stack trace breakpoint in this scenario and can confirm that the SplitButton itself isn't firing Click, it's the child control that is doing it and bubbling the event up the logical chain of controls.

So what you'll want to do is check the e.Source to make sure you are looking at the right control. Maybe another way to do it is say only process the event if "sender == e.Source". That way you know that the sender of the event (always the SplitButton) is the source of the event.

I hope that helps. Let us know if you have any more questions.
