Flow Documents and Code Behind

It is possible to have XAML controls with event handlers in a Flow Document. This can be accomplished using Visual studio 2005 by:

• Add a FlowDocument (WPF) to a Visual Studio 2005 .NET 3.0 WPF project (i.e. FlowDocument2.xaml)
• Add a class to the project named FlowDocument2.xaml.vb (VS 2005 does not automatically add an associated "code-behind" class)
• In FlowDocument2.xaml in the <FlowDocument> element add the attribute: <FlowDocument a:Class="FlowDocument2" ....
• Within a <Paragraph> element add:
  Test Text<InlineUIContainer><Button Name="TestCmd" Content="Press Me"></Button></InlineUIContainer>Test Text
• Build the project
• In the Code-behind class (FlowDocument2.xaml.vb) for TestCmd (the button) add a click event
• In the click event place some code (i.e. MessageBox.Show("clicked")
• Make FlowDocument2.xaml the startup URI for the project
• Run the project (F5 or <Shift>F5
