Custom routed events

[hwsoderlund]

I'm trying to use custom routed events, and they seem to work fine until I put the control that raises the event in a RadWindow. I've uploaded a sample project. Is there a way to make routed events work across windows?

Hi Henrik,

This is the expected behavior. You can easily override it by setting LogicalParent to RadWindow.
Put this in Page_Content constructor (after InitializeComponent method):

Telerik.Windows.RoutedEvent.SetLogicalParent(window, this);

If you need more help, I'll be glad to help.


All the best,

Ah, I see. Thanks, it works fine now. Just out of curiosity: Is this related to the fact that the window is based on a Popup control? /Henrik

Hello Henrik,

Yes routed events traverse the logical tree and the popup control that holds RadWindow is not in that tree. So setting logical parent changes the tree on which the event will route. Note that if you set some RadWindow with RadCalendar as child and set logical parent on RadWindow to be the same RadCalendar you will cause stackoverflow exception.

If you need more information, do not hesitate to contact us.
