ContentElement::PreviewMouseDown Event
Occurs when any mouse button is pressed while the pointer is over this element.
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
This event creates an alias for the Mouse::PreviewMouseDown attached event for this class, so that PreviewMouseDown is part of the class members list when ContentElement is inherited as a base element. Event handlers that are attached to the PreviewMouseDown event are attached to the underlying Mouse::PreviewMouseDown attached event and receive the same event data instance.
The PreviewMouseDown event is often raised together with either PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown or PreviewMouseRightButtonDown, which correspond to a press of one of the two standard mouse buttons. PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown and PreviewMouseRightButtonDown are also routed events, but they are direct routed events, and the appropriate button-specific event is raised when the Mouse::PreviewMouseDown event reaches this element along the event route. See Remarks for PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown or PreviewMouseRightButtonDown.
