TopItem Clicked event for RadCarousel

[Ela]

Hi,

The SelectionChanged event of RadCarousel works only when the Non-Top item is selected. Is there a event/way to know when the user clicks on the Top item? Currently I'm using the DoubleClicked event to check for the Top item's property, to identify it. But, I want to know whether I can handle it with a single click.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Ela,

What you can do in this case is to AddHandler and handle the PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp event. For example:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
  public MainWindow()
  {
    InitializeComponent();
    this.MyCarousel.ItemsSource = new ObservableCollection<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };


    this.MyCarousel.PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp += new MouseButtonEventHandler(MyCarousel_PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp);
    this.AddHandler(RadCarousel.MouseLeftButtonUpEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(MyCarousel_PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp));
   }

void MyCarousel_PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    UIElement source = e.OriginalSource as UIElement;

    var carouselItem = source.ParentOfType<CarouselItem>();
    if (carouselItem != null && carouselItem == this.MyCarousel.FindCarouselPanel().TopContainer)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Clicked is Top Item");
    }
  }
}

 
Thus in this case when the top item is clicked a message will be shown. However, you can apply whatever logic you need.
