Tapped event for grid is not recognized as routed event

Question

Hi everybody,

Can somebody help me with this. I' really stuck. I want to create an opacity animation when I tap on a grid but I get an error that the Tapped event is not a routed event. Here is my code

				<Grid.Triggers>
                                        <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Tapped"> <!--The event Tapped is not a routed event-->
                                            <EventTrigger.Actions>
                                                <BeginStoryboard>
                                                    <Storyboard>
                                                        <!--Animation-->
                                                    </Storyboard>
                                                </BeginStoryboard>
                                            </EventTrigger.Actions>
                                        </EventTrigger>
                                    </Grid.Triggers>

Thaks in advance.

Answer 1

That is expected. See the remarks in the EventTrigger class documentation.

If you want to use Triggers then open the project in Blend and use   Microsoft.Xaml.Interactions's EventTriggerBehavior
