Hey, I am using Application.xaml to set up the style of a button that's going to be on a lot of the pages in my program. I've got it so that the button will animate an arrow inside the button when it's pressed AND the mouse is over the button.
What I want is for the button to navigate back a page if it is simply clicked, but go to a specific HOME page if it is pressed and held for 1.5 seconds.
This is my code (It's probably terrible D: )
What do I do? D:
What I have tried doing is the following
<MultiTrigger.EnterActions> <BeginStoryboard> <Storyboard Completed="ArrowTransformComplete"> ... </Storyboard> </BeginStoryboard> </MultiTrigger.EnterActions>
and in the code behind (Application.xaml.vb)
Private Sub ArrowTransformComplete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim HomePanda As New HomePanda()
Me.NavigationService.Navigate(HomePanda)
End Sub
However, it tells me that
'NavigationService' is not a member of 'WpfApplication1.Application'.
I'm assuming this is because Application.xaml isn't in a navigation window like the rest of my program. Putting this code into a page with the button causes the error
'ArrowTransformComplete' is not a member of 'WpfApplication1.Application'. in file Application.g.vb
When you attempt to debug the program.
Will I have to add code to every single page of my application or is there some way to keep it in the style/control template? :s

Will I have to add code to every single page of my application or is there some way to keep it in the style/control template? :s
