RibbonSplitButton click event

Question

Gentelman,

I'm binding a collection to RibbonSplitButton (basically, showing 3 values: red, green, blue) Everything works fine except of the problem I have to figure out which color (item) has been chosen:

Here's my code:

<r:RibbonSplitButton Name="TagEm" 
    LargeImageSource="Images\pencil_32.png"
    Label="Tag"
    ItemsSource="{Binding Path=TagCollection}"
    Click="TagEm_Click">
    <r:RibbonSplitButton.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Descr}" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </r:RibbonSplitButton.ItemTemplate>
</r:RibbonSplitButton>

Code behind:

private void TagEm_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
}

Something like (Tag)TagEm.Items.CurrentItem;

Could someone give me a hint, please?

Many thanks in advance!

Do not use the RibbonSplitButton Click event. Instead use the TextBox MouseLeftButtonUp event.

XAML:

<r:RibbonSplitButton
    Name="TagEm"
    LargeImageSource="Images\pencil_32.png"     
    Label="Tag"     
    ItemsSource="{Binding Path=TagCollection}">
    <r:RibbonSplitButton.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" MouseLeftButtonUp="TextBlock_MouseLeftButtonUp" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </r:RibbonSplitButton.ItemTemplate>
</r:RibbonSplitButton>

Event Handler:

private void TextBlock_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    Tag clickedTag = (sender as TextBlock).DataContext as Tag;
}
