I want the program to show the attached Flyout when user Holding the control (on the mobile) or when the user Right-click the control (on PC).
Here is my XAML :
<DataTemplate x:DataType="data:Cards" x:Key="card">
<StackPanel x:Name="cardstack" Holding="cardstack_Holding" KeyDown="cardstack_KeyDown" >
<StackPanel Background="Blue" Height="100" />
<FlyoutBase.AttachedFlyout>
<MenuFlyout x:Name="optionpass">
<MenuFlyoutItem x:Name="delete" Text="Delete" Click="delete_Click"/>
</MenuFlyout>
</FlyoutBase.AttachedFlyout>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
and this is my C# :
private void cardstack_Holding(object sender, HoldingRoutedEventArgs e)
{
FlyoutBase.ShowAttachedFlyout(sender as FrameworkElement);
}
private void cardstack_KeyDown(object sender, KeyRoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Windows.System.VirtualKey.RightButton)
{
FlyoutBase.ShowAttachedFlyout(sender as FrameworkElement);
}
}
When I tap and Hold the Stackpanel on the mobile simulator, the Holding event works, but when I Right-click on my PC, it crashes! It says that "There are no attached Flyout!". I do not know what is wrong.
"Have you tried RightTapped event? Is it working?"
Yes and No :(
I just found out the solution to solve my problem.
Turns out you have to name the MenuFlyout
like my one is x:Name = "option_menu"
, and the Flyoutbase.AttachedFlyout
cannot be in the DataTemplate
, means you have to put it anywhere else except in the DataTemplate
, so that the .cs file can find the name of the MenuFlyout
.
Here is my C# :
public void cardstack_Holding(object sender, HoldingRoutedEventArgs e)
{
option_menu.ShowAt(sender as FrameworkElement);
e.Handled = true;
}
private void cardstack_PointerPressed(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
Pointer pointr = e.Pointer;
if (pointr.PointerDeviceType == Windows.Devices.Input.PointerDeviceType.Mouse)
{
Windows.UI.Input.PointerPoint pointrd = e.GetCurrentPoint(sender as UIElement);
if (pointrd.Properties.IsRightButtonPressed)
{
option_menu.ShowAt(sender as FrameworkElement);
}
}
e.Handled = true;
}
Notice that before this I use ShowAttachedFlyout
, now I use option_menu.ShowAt
.
KeyDown
event somehow did not work with my app, so I used PointerPressed
instead.
Hope this helps. (0w0)/
