CalendarViewDayItem event not firing

Question

I'm trying to add a RightTapped event to each CalendarViewDayItem. DoubleTapped event works fine, but RightTapped is not raised despite of that it's created.

This is how I have created them:

private void calviewSun_CalendarViewDayItemChanging(CalendarView sender, CalendarViewDayItemChangingEventArgs args)
{
    
    args.Item.DoubleTapped += CalendarViewDayItem_DoubleTapped;
    args.Item.RightTapped  += CalendarViewDayItem_RightTapped;   
}

I have tried setting breakpoints to check if they were raised but they had any other problems, but they are never raised. I have check that args.Item.IsRightTapEnbaled is set to true.

I don't know why is not raising the event.

Answer 1

Please try to use UIElement.AddHandler() Method to add right tapped event for the CalendarViewDayItem.

The code looks like this:

 private void CalendarView_CalendarViewDayItemChanging(CalendarView sender, CalendarViewDayItemChangingEventArgs args)
    {
        args.Item.IsRightTapEnabled = true;
        args.Item.DoubleTapped += Item_DoubleTapped; 
       // args.Item.RightTapped += Item_RightTapped;

        args.Item.AddHandler(UIElement.RightTappedEvent, new RightTappedEventHandler(Item_RightTapped), true);
    }

    private void Item_RightTapped(object sender, RightTappedRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("RightTapped");
    }
