Hello, Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform! I checked your project and the problem appeared on the CoreWindow_PointerPressed method. When you click the delete button, the button is not actually clicked. CoreWindow_PointerPressed is like a layer of paper in the middle, blocking your pointer pressed operation. It is not recommended to listen to the pointer pressed event of the entire Window for a control. The purpose of your CoreWindow_PointerPressed method is to determine whether the control should get focus when the pointer pressed, and change the state of the control. In fact, this does not need to listen to the PointerPressed event, it only needs to listen to the CustomEditControl.GotFocus and CustomEditControl.LostFocus events. So the suggestions for your problems are as follows: Cancel all event monitoring on CoreWindow to avoid mutual interference between events. Handle the state of the control through Focus related events. As for getting the cursor to the specified position by pointer pressed, this point needs to be analyzed according to the pointer pressed coordinates, and the StartCaretPosition should be changed. Nevertheless, I still recommend using the default TextBox . The native controls have been tested many times and have integrated many functions. Modifying based on the native TextBox control is easier than writing a TextBox control yourself. Thanks.

With the above code... I was able to add close button, But none of the Mouse Events are Working...

Indudhar Gowda 426

  void CoreWindow_PointerPressed(CoreWindow sender, PointerEventArgs args)
        {
         / See whether the pointer is inside or outside the control.
            Rect contentRect = GetElementRect(BorderPanel);
            if (contentRect.Contains(args.CurrentPoint.Position))
            {
                UpdateTargetBoxID?.Invoke(uniqueKey, Type);
                if (IsReadOnly || !IsEnabled) return;
                SetInternalFocus(uniqueKey);
                Focus(FocusState.Programmatic);  //Todo: A more complete custom control would move the caret to the pointer position. It would also provide some way to select
            }
            else
            {
        }

If I put breakPoint in the above code....Deletebutton Event Will Fire...Else it wont Fire.

Hello, The TextBox provided by UWP is a control for processing text input, and it contains a delete button. Do you have any special requirements for this input control?

**Yes Richard....I need this CustomEditControl itself because we are few Issue in Uwp Textbox, i.e On Screen Keyboard and few other Issues.

Almost everything is working in CustomEditControl Now....I need Only Mouse Events to be Working in customEditControl...I have attached the project above..**

Hi, In contrast, you can modify your project first and add DeleteButton to the existing project (the project I downloaded does not include DeleteButton). In addition, it is recommended that you write down the problems encountered in the use of TextBox in detail, there may be other solutions.

void CoreWindow_PointerPressed(CoreWindow sender, PointerEventArgs args) { Rect contentRect = GetElementRect(BorderPanel); if (contentRect.Contains(args.CurrentPoint.Position)) { var mm = GetElementRect(ClearButton); if (mm.Contains(args.CurrentPoint.Position)) { Text = string.Empty; var range = Selection; SetSelectionAndNotify(range); args.Handled = true; return; }

I need Only 1 thing i.e I need only Mouse Cursor and Select Text in CustomTextControl Using Mouse..

Hi, If you want to enable text selection (including the selected background color), you can set TextBlock's IsTextSelectionEnabled = True

Indudhar Gowda 426 Reputation points

2020-03-24T01:50:47.033+00:00

I tried IsTextSelectionEnabled = True in the beginning of my project and Now as well (Its not working)...You can also download the above link and cross check.

Your CoreWindow_PointerPressed will prevent normal TextSelection behavior, please don't get focus this way.

I tried Richard ...I commented // _coreWindow.PointerPressed += CoreWindow_PointerPressed; ...Now I am not able to type anything..

Please check my original answer. You use PointerPressed to get focus and change the control state. Now you can consider using the GotFocus event to change the control state

Indudhar Gowda 426 Reputation points

2020-03-24T02:56:33.437+00:00

GotFocus will never hit the break point in this usercontrol....I tried as per your instructions.. Please find the screen shot attached.

Please listen to UserControl.GotFocus, StackPanel and TextBlock cannot get focus

RichardZhang-MSFT : 1. If I use UserControl.Focus I can't use this has a generic Control , I need to reuse this Control Multiple Places.

If I Use UserControl I can't access below property

UpdateTargetBoxID?.Invoke(uniqueKey, Type); if (IsReadOnly || !IsEnabled) return; SetInternalFocus(uniqueKey); Focus(FocusState.Programmatic);

Your code is highly integrated. Modify one place and other places also need to modify. When the GotFocus event is triggered, it means that the control has gained focus, and Focus() does not need to repeatedly set focus. Other code can be changed according to your needs to avoid event conflict
