Methods

  Name Description
AddHandler Adds a routed event handler for a specified routed event, adding the handler to the handler collection on the current element. Specify handledEventsToo as true to have the provided handler be invoked for routed event that had already been marked as handled by another element along the event route. (Inherited from UIElement.)
ApplyTemplate (Inherited from Control.)
Arrange Positions child objects and determines a size for a UIElement. Parent objects that implement custom layout for their child elements should call this method from their layout override implementations to form a recursive layout update. (Inherited from UIElement.)
ArrangeOverride When overridden in a derived class, positions child elements and determines a size for a FrameworkElement derived class. (Overrides FrameworkElement..::.ArrangeOverride(Size).)
CaptureMouse Sets touch capture to a UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement.)
CheckAccess Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
ClearValue Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Finalize Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. Finalize is protected and, therefore, is accessible only through this class or a derived class. (Overrides Object..::.Finalize()()().)
FindName Retrieves an object that has the specified identifier name. (Inherited from FrameworkElement.)
Focus (Inherited from Control.)
GetAnimationBaseValue Returns any base value established for a Windows Phone dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
GetBindingExpression Retrieves the BindingExpression for a dependency property where a binding is established. (Inherited from FrameworkElement.)
GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
GetTemplateChild (Inherited from Control.)
GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
GetValue Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
GoBack Navigates to the most recent entry in the back navigation history, or throws an exception if no entry exists in back navigation. (Inherited from Frame.)
GoForward Navigates to the most recent entry in the forward navigation history, or throws an exception if no entry exists in forward navigation. For Windows Phone, this method will always throw an exception because there is no forward navigation stack. (Inherited from Frame.)
InvalidateArrange Invalidates the arrange state (layout) for a UIElement. After the invalidation, the UIElement will have its layout updated, which will occur asynchronously. (Inherited from UIElement.)
InvalidateMeasure Invalidates the measurement state (layout) for a UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement.)
Measure Updates the DesiredSize of a UIElement. Typically, objects that implement custom layout for their layout children call this method from their own MeasureOverride implementations to form a recursive layout update. (Inherited from UIElement.)
MeasureOverride When overridden in a derived class, measures the size in layout required for child elements and determines a size for the FrameworkElement-derived class. (Overrides FrameworkElement..::.MeasureOverride(Size).)
MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Navigate Navigates to the content specified by the uniform resource identifier (URI). (Inherited from Frame.)
OnApplyTemplate This method applies a template to the PhoneApplicationFrame. (Overrides Frame..::.OnApplyTemplate()()().)
OnContentChanged Called when the value of the Content property changes. (Inherited from ContentControl.)
OnCreateAutomationPeer Returns a FrameAutomationPeer for use by the Windows Phone automation infrastructure. (Overrides UIElement OnCreateAutomationPeer().) (Inherited from Frame.)
OnDoubleTap (Inherited from Control.)
OnDragEnter (Inherited from Control.)
OnDragLeave (Inherited from Control.)
OnDragOver (Inherited from Control.)
OnDrop (Inherited from Control.)

OnMouseRightButtonUp (Inherited from Control.)
OnMouseWheel (Inherited from Control.)
OnTap (Inherited from Control.)
OnTextInput (Inherited from Control.)
OnTextInputStart (Inherited from Control.)
OnTextInputUpdate (Inherited from Control.)
ReadLocalValue Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
ReleaseMouseCapture Removes touch capture from a UIElement. After this call, typically no object holds touch capture. (Inherited from UIElement.)
RemoveBackEntry This method is used to remove the most recent entry from the back stack, or throws an InvalidOperationException if there are no more entries to remove. If you want to remove more than one item, you call this method multiple times. This API is synchronous and must be called from the UI thread.
RemoveHandler Removes the specified routed event handler from this UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement.)
SetBinding Attaches a binding to a FrameworkElement, using the provided binding object, and returns a BindingExpressionBase for possible later use. (Inherited from FrameworkElement.)
SetValue Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
StopLoading Stops asynchronous navigations that have not yet been processed. (Inherited from Frame.)
ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
