Capture the Click Event in a Custom Control [SOLVED]

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I have a WPF Custom Control inherited from Button.

How do I programatically get the custom control to capture the Click Event (so that I can record the action and do some internal work)
(basically I want to catch the event and set a certain property to a certain value) and make this part of the classes standard functionality.

From my understanding the custom control should be able to catch it's own even and do some work.

Solved

I have realised why I had a problem.

I could not see the Click event

This was because I was not explicit enought in my class declaration:

I put

public class StateButton : Button

obviously picked the wrong button

public class StateButton : System.Windows.Controls.Button

This works

Then I just override the event
