Bubbling and Tunneling Events

Wed, 21 Jun 2006 19:53:23 Z

Hi,

I'm running the following XAML:

<Window x:Class="Controls.Window1"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

Title="Controls" Height="300" Width="300"

<Button x:Name="button"

PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="PreviewA"

MouseLeftButtonDown="A">

<Grid

PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="PreviewB"

MouseLeftButtonDown="B">

<Ellipse Fill="Blue" Margin="5" Width="25" Height="25" Stroke="Black" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"

PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="PreviewC"

MouseLeftButtonDown="C"

<TextBlock Margin="5" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="14" Text="Click Me!"

PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="PreviewD"

MouseLeftButtonDown="D"

</WrapPanel>

</Grid>

</Button>

</WrapPanel>

</Window>

Each event handler writes its name using Debug.WriteLine().

The problem is that the Bubble event does not implemented by the Button. How's that?

The output is:

PreviewA

PreviewB

PreviewC

Where is 'A' ???

Is it possible that Button already implements MouseLeftButtonDown to create the "Click" event instead? I think that it is a BUG!

It's not a bug, it is by design.
