Button.OnClick Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Raises the Click event.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Overrides Sub OnClick
protected override void OnClick()

Remarks

This override notifies the Silverlight automation infrastructure to raise the click event. Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. The OnClick method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnClick in a derived class, be sure to call the base class’s OnClick method so that registered delegates receive the event.
