Events in ResourceDictionary

Question

I have a DataTemplate in a ResourceDictionary. Now I have a GroupBox in the template, on which I want to use the MouseDown event. But the ResourceDictionary has no code behind (as intended) and no link to the code behind of the file where I use the things from the dictionary.

How do I use this event?

perhaps use an attached property/behavior? – Jake Berger Dec 08 '11 at 18:46 — Jake Berger, Dec 08 '11 at 18:46

i dont know if this applies to you but i had a similar case. I wanted to use MouseDown event on every labels of my ListBox. So here's what i did : I setted the ListBox.ItemTemplate to a ContentPresenter. Then i used MouseDown event on that ContentPresenter. I setted the ContentPresenter's ContentTemplate to the DataTemplate of my label and it worked well, thus separating my DataTemplate from my MouseDown event.

<ListBox
    ItemsSource="{Binding}"
    >
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <ContentPresenter
                ContentTemplate="{StaticResource myLabelTemplate}"
                MouseDown="Event">
            </ContentPresenter>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

Sorry for my bad english ;)
