Event on button when the mouse left button is down

Question

Good morning I contact cause I made my own user control to create a spin box. The spin box has two buttons for increase and decrease the value. I would like to create an event in order to increase or decrease the value (depend the case) when I stayed cliked in continous on the button. It is not the only click on the button it it is when I stay the left button down and the value continue to increase automatically. Do someone know the name of the event I have to used ? I tried PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown but it gives the same behavior than a Click. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hi first thanks for your answer but actually I found another way to do that by using RepeatButton (System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.RepeatButton)

Hi Romain You can achieve this by using Timer. Please have a look at this sample code: private void incrementbutton_MouseDown ( object sender  MouseEventArgs e ) { timer1 . Enabled = true ; timer1 . Start (); } private void incrementbutton _MouseUp ( object sender  MouseEventArgs e ) { timer1 . Stop (); } private void timer1_Tick ( object sender  EventArgs e ) { // increment your counter here }
