Events with Dynamic Controls

11-03-2009 6:52 AM |

Hi All,

 I have a class which is responsible to build the dynamic controls. in the same application i have different XAML pages which uses that class to create the controls as per their requirements. Now problem is that...

when it comes to attach the events to the controls: that event is in the XAML and control is being created in other class... so how i can pass the event to that class, keeping in mind that this class has only one function to build the controls and responsible to create almost 15 type of controls... so i can't pass 15 different events to the function.

but if i pass the complete object of XAML then it will no more a generic approach.

So guys could you please help me out in finding a way attach the events with controls in a generic manner.

all suggestions are welcome.

It sounds as though the EventAggregator from Prism might be able to help you here.

This allows your controls to subscribe/publish events without having to be hardwired up.

It's generally used if you're using the MVVM pattern but could be useful in this scenario.

There are a lot of basic examples provided when you install prism. The eventing example may do what you require. Saves re-inventing the wheel.
