Question

WPF - how to call mainwindow tabitems from inside a control

Answer 1

+1 A:

I would consider reworking your architecture here.

One option would be to have your custom controls (UserControls?) inside of the tabs expose a Routed Event. Your main Window could then subscribe to the routed events (at the main window's level) and handle the application navigation.

This is much cleaner, from a design standpoint, since the user controls don't need to know about other controls, they just say "I hit this button", and the main window decides that event means to show the other window. If you ever change your tabs around, you won't break everything, since this keeps the coupling lower between your tabs.

This looks really reasonable. I have read the suggested material plus some other ones, still I am missing something. When I declare. a tap event in my BaseWindow partial class (the main window of my application) and then call it in my user control's codebehind through: SubmitSearch.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(Edit_click);where SubmitSearch is the name of my button (defined in XAML) and Edit_Click is the name of the function, declared in the partial class: public event RoutedEventHandler Tap {//add/remove handler} void Edit_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {//code}

Should I define edit_click event in the user control and then try to link it to the editbutton_click event in the main window?(I am considerably new to WPF, so excuse me if the questions seems to be dull)
