# .NET MAUI TemplatedButton Events

The .NET MAUI TemplatedButton emits a set of events that allow you to configure the component's behavior in response to specific user actions.

The .NET MAUI TemplatedButton exposes the following events:

* `Clicked`—Raised when the `RadTemplatedButton` is clicked. The `Clicked` event handler receives two parameters:
  * The `sender` argument which is of type `RadTemplatedButton`.
  * An `EventArgs` object which provides information about the `Clicked` event.

* `Pressed`—Raised when `RadTemplatedButton` is pressed (a finger presses on the button, or a mouse button is pressed with a pointer positioned over the button). The `Pressed` event handler receives two parameters:
  * The `sender` argument which is of type `RadTemplatedButton`.
  * An `EventHandler` object which provides information about the `Pressed` event.

* `Released`—Raised when the `RadTemplatedButton` is released (the finger or mouse button is released). The `Released` event handler receives two parameters:
  * The `sender` argument which is of type `RadTemplatedButton`.
  * An `EventHandler` object which provides information about the `Released` event.

## Using the Clicked Event

The following example demonstrates how to use the `Clicked` event.

**1.** Define the button in XAML:

```XAML
<telerik:RadTemplatedButton x:Name="templatedButton"
                            Content="My Button"
                            Clicked="OnRadTemplatedButtonClicked" />
<Label x:Name="label" Text="TemplatedButton is clicked 0 times" />
```

**2.** Add the `telerik` namespace:

```XAML
xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"
```

**3.** Add the `Clicked` event:

```C#
    private void OnRadTemplatedButtonClicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        count++;
        
        if (count == 1)
        {
            this.label.Text = $"TemplatedButton is clicked {count} time";
        }
        else
        {
            this.label.Text = $"TemplatedButton is clicked {count} times";
        }
    }
```

This is the result on WinUI:

## Using the Pressed Event

The following example demonstrates how to use the `Pressed` event.

**1.** Define the button in XAML:

```XAML
<telerik:RadTemplatedButton x:Name="templatedButton" 
                            Content="My Templated Button" 
                            Pressed="OnTemplatedButtonPressed" />
<Label x:Name="label" Text="TemplatedButton is pressed 0 times" />
```

**2.** Add the `telerik` namespace:

```XAML
xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"
```

**3.** Add the `Pressed` event:

```C#
private void OnTemplatedButtonPressed(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
        count++;

        if (count == 1)
        {
            this.label.Text = $"TemplatedButton is pressed {count} time";
        }
        else
        {
            this.label.Text = $"TemplatedButton is pressed {count} times";
        }
    }
```

This is the result on WinUI:

## Using the Released Event

The following example demonstrates how to use the `Released` event.

**1.** Define the button in XAML:

```XAML
<telerik:RadTemplatedButton x:Name="templatedButton" 
                            Content="My Button" 
                            Released="OnTemplatedButtonReleased" />
<Label x:Name="label" Text="TemplatedButton is released 0 times" />
```

**2.** Add the `telerik` namespace:

```XAML
xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"
```

**3.** Add the `Released` event:

```C#
    private void OnTemplatedButtonReleased(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        count++;

        if (count == 1)
        {
            this.label.Text = $"TemplatedButton is released {count} time";
        }
        else
        {
            this.label.Text = $"TemplatedButton is released {count} times";
        }
    }
```

This is the result on WinUI:

![.NET MAUI TemplatedButton Released Event](https://www.telerik.com/maui-ui/documentation/assets/18b58c09d9de07641c3760c1b2633a09/templatedbutton-released-event.gif "TemplatedButton for .NET MAUI")
