How to Access a Button present inside a Custom Control, from the implementing page?
- by Subhen
Hi,
I have my generic.xaml containing the following code:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="local:customVideoControl">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="600"/>
<RowDefinition Height="200"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="200"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="200"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="200"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<MediaElement x:Name="customMediaPlayer" Source="{TemplateBinding CustomMediaSource}"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"
Width="{TemplateBinding Width}"
Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
/>
<ToggleButton x:Name="playPauseBtn" Height="50" Width="50" Content="Pause" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"/>
<Button x:Name="prevBtn" Height="50" Width="50" Content="Prev" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"/>
<Button x:Name="nextBtn" Height="50" Width="50" Content="Next" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
Now on applyTemplate , I am accessing the controls like below:
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
base.OnApplyTemplate();
ToggleButton playPauseBtn = GetTemplateChild("playPauseBtn") as ToggleButton;
Button prevBtn= GetTemplateChild("prevBtn") as Button;
Button nextBtn = GetTemplateChild("nextBtn") as Button;
MediaElement customMediaPlayer = GetTemplateChild("customMediaPlayer") as MediaElement;
playPauseBtn.Checked += (obj, Args) =>
{
customMediaPlayer.Pause();
playPauseBtn.Content = "Play";
};
playPauseBtn.Unchecked += (obj, Args) =>
{
customMediaPlayer.Play();
playPauseBtn.Content = "Pause";
};
nextBtn.Click += (obj, Args) =>
{
customMediaPlayer.Source=new Uri(CustomMediaSource.ToString(),UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
};
prevBtn.Click += (obj, Args) =>
{
customMediaPlayer.Source = new Uri(CustomMediaSource.ToString(), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
};
}
Now I want acccess the nextBtn, in the page where I am implementing like
CustomVideoControl myVControl=new CustomVideoControl();
This will create the instance of the control, but I want to do something on the click of
next and previous button, thta is present inside the CustomVideoControl in generic.xaml. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Subhen
