         void UpBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
            Console.WriteLine("Click");
My question, why doesn't the repeat button fire off continously when I press and hold?
Thank you for your help.
                Have you tried setting Background="Transparent" on root grid in the template of the button?

                @DoubleDunk, Does it fire only once or never? Don't know if this is  copy/paste error or you mixed controls but your class name is SampleController but it has constructor for CmdController.

                I am sorry for the copy/paste error, you are absolutely right. To answer your questions, when I press and hold it only fires off the click event once.

                @Stewbob Actually in my case it only fires off once when I click and hold, I do not have to release it button.

                @DoubleDunk, I cannot reproduce it here as it keeps triggering Click event. I only found this. Maybe it will give you an idea for a workaround

To sum up comments. Even though I am not able to reproduce the problem stated in the question, as the code above works fine for me, I have found very similar issue in RepeatButton fires event only once! article. There is no definite answer what's causing the issue but it may give some clues to what to try
