WPF Handlers for user control sub-controls

Question

I have defined a user control to represent a tab item comprising of a few buttons. When I create an instance of the user tab item I would like to define click handlers for button clicks. e.g. for

<TabItem >
   <my:Tab1/>   
</TabItem>

For Button1 and Button2 within Tab1 I would like to define something like

<TabItem >
    <my:Tab1 Button1:Click="button1_Click" Button2:Click="button2_Click"/>
</TabItem>
Naturally, the above doesn't work. Does anyone know how I can achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using routed events? – paddy May 29 '13 at 23:34 — paddy, May 29 '13 at 23:34

It can be done by routed events on you user control that rise buttons click event handler or by using commands. This is probably a same case as yours

Thanks for the quick response. So in Tab1::button1_Click() I raise a routed event? How do I declare a handler in my main application that owns the instance of the user control? – user1400716 May 29 '13 at 23:51
