Simple question about mouse events

[C Bates]

Hello,

A simple RadPane containing nested Canvas controls:

      <telerikDocking:RadDocking Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" d:LayoutOverrides="Height">
          <telerikDocking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
              <telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer x:Name="split1">
                  <telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup x:Name="group1">
                      <telerikDocking:RadPane x:Name="pane1" Header="pane1"
                                              HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
                                              MouseLeftButtonDown="pane1_MouseLeftButtonDown">
                              <Canvas x:Name="canvas1" MouseLeftButtonDown="c1_MouseLeftButtonDown">
                                <Canvas x:Name="Canvas2" MouseLeftButtonDown="Canvas2_MouseLeftButtonDown">
                                    <Rectangle Height="40" Width="60" Fill="AliceBlue"/>
                                </Canvas>
                            </Canvas>
                          </telerikDocking:RadPane>
                  </telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
              </telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>
          </telerikDocking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
      </telerikDocking:RadDocking>

How do I get mouse events at the Canvas level?  None of the MouseLeftButtonDown handlers are called when I click on the canvas, but the two handlers attached to the Canvas controls are called when I click on the Rectangle.

Thanks for the help.

Hello C Bates,

All panels (like Canvas, Grid, StackPanel) should have Background set in order to receive Mouse related events. This is required by the framework. Transparent background will also work.

Let us know if you need more information.
