I am having problems with generating a click event for items inside an items control. I am new to xaml nad wpf. Can you the experts help me out. Below is the code that i have come up with but now having no clue on how to add a click event to for the generated items. Will very much appreciate your responses. Thank you for reading
<itemscontrol itemssource="{Binding Text, Source={StaticResource TextContainer}}">
<itemscontrol.itemspanel>
<itemspaneltemplate>
<wrappanel itemwidth="100">
ItemHeight="100" />
<itemscontrol.itemtemplate>
<datatemplate datatype="{x:Type sys:String}">
<border cornerradius="100">
removed="BlueViolet">
<Button Margin="20"
Content="{Binding}"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" />
This is one of the basics of UI programming even developer should know. The most primitive approach is shown here:

However, rarely do it this way, only in cases where I want to share the same event handler in different controls. More often, I use anonymous handlers . For example,
ItemControl myParentControl = // ... UIElement item = // ... // insert/add it: myParentControl.AddChild(item); item.MouseDown += (sender, eventArgs) => { UIElement uiElement = (UIElement)sender; // or you can cast to your // more derived class HandleTheEventSomehow(uiElement); // or HandleTheEventInSomeOtherWay(uiElement, eventArgs.Timestamp); As UIElement does not have Click event, I used MouseDown example. But you can use more derived class with Click (you just did not specify what it is), such as Button and handle this event in the same way; if you need, you can case sender to this UI element type.
