Occurs when an otherwise unhandled Tap interaction occurs over the hit test area of this element.

Syntax

public event TappedEventHandler Tapped

<uiElement Tapped="eventhandler"/>

Event information

Remarks

This event is a routed event. An element must have IsTapEnabled be true to be a Tapped event source. If the event is permitted to bubble up to parent elements because it goes unhandled, then it is possible to handle the event on parent elements even if IsTapEnabled is false on that element. For more info on the routed event concept, see Events and routed events overview.

For touch actions and also for interaction-specific or manipulation events that are consequences of a touch action, an element must be hit-test visible in order to be the event source and fire the event that is associated with the action. UIElement.Visibility must be Visible. Other properties of derived types also affect hit-test visibility. For more info, see Hit testing and input events.

This event also supports the ability to attach event handlers to the route that will be invoked even if the event data for the event is marked Handled. See AddHandler.

Specific Windows Runtime controls may have class-based handling for the Tapped event. If so, the control probably has an override for the method OnTapped. For more info on how class-based handling for events works, see Input event handlers in controls.
