Click event for the "..." three dots of the application bar to change the opacity

Question

I just can not find how to generate a click event for the 3-dots-button of the application bar. the start mode of it is minimized and opacity is 0. I want to change the opacity to 1 the use has clicked the three dots button to expand the bar. like so:

if (ApplicationBar.Mode == ApplicationBarMode.Default)
        {
            ApplicationBar.Opacity = 1;
        }
        else { 
            ApplicationBar.Opacity = 0;
        }

at the very right within the application bar to open and close the menu list and icon discripiton and the icons if the mode is minimized — user3168511, Feb 09 '14 at 11:13

You cannot compare ApplicationBar.Mode as it doesn't change when you click ellipsis (those three dots). Thought you can surely try subscribe to StateChanged event to do something like this :

// in constructor
ApplicationBar.StateChanged+=ApplicationBar_StateChanged;

private void ApplicationBar_StateChanged(object sender, ApplicationBarStateChangedEventArgs e)
{
        if (e.IsMenuVisible) ApplicationBar.Opacity = 1;
        else ApplicationBar.Opacity = 0;
}

But to make it work your ApplicationBar must have MenuItems.

Can you please tell the same thing for Windows 10? – hellodear Dec 19 '16 at 13:37 — hellodear, Dec 19 '16 at 13:37
