How to find the mouse position on runtime?

Question

I wrote a UserControl that contains 8 Buttons.

I added this UserControl to my page - and now I want to:

1. Catch the button click event - so I add the implementation of INotifyPropertyChanged to the userControl and in the click event I send event that will be catch by the page

2. Find the exact position of the button that was clicked - the screen location on the page -

this is something that I can't find how to do.

Please help ... ?

Answer 1

only way to get the mouse position at runtime is in a mouse event handler, by calling e.GetPosition() - where "e" is a MouseEventArgs

double point1 = e.GetPosition(bitmapCadView.UIElement).X;

double point2 = e.GetPosition(bitmapCadView.UIElement).Y;

Answer 2

Create a custom event args (e.g. WhereWasIPressedArgs) containing the position information you require and add a custom event on your control

e.g. event EventHandler<WhereWasIPressedArgs> WhereWasIPressed;.

In your 8-button control use mouse position information to set the argument's position property and call your event.
