public event EventHandler<BreadcrumbQueryPathEventArgs> QueryPath

Event Data

The QueryPath event's data class is BreadcrumbQueryPathEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property Description
Breadcrumbs Gets or sets a set of breadcrumb items that correspond to the path entered by an end user.
Handled Gets or sets a value that indicates the present state of the event handling for a routed event as it travels the route. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
OriginalSource Gets the original reporting source as determined by pure hit testing, before any possible Source adjustment by a parent class. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
Path Gets the path entered by an end user.
PathSeparator Gets a separator used to separate path items.
RoutedEvent Gets or sets the RoutedEvent associated with this RoutedEventArgs instance. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
Source Gets or sets a reference to the object that raised the event. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method Description
InvokeEventHandler(Delegate, Object) When overridden in a derived class, provides a way to invoke event handlers in a type-specific way, which can increase efficiency over the base implementation. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
OnSetSource(Object) When overridden in a derived class, provides a notification callback entry point whenever the value of the Source property of an instance changes. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.

Remarks

The QueryPath event occurs in the following cases:

  • an end user pastes a path into the path edit box and presses Enter (SelectedPath property changed)
  • an end user types a path into the path box and enters a path separator
  • on the SelectedItemPath property change.

Handle the QueryPath event to parse the user input and provide a set of the selected breadcrumbs items.

The event arguments expose the BreadcrumbQueryPathEventArgs.Path property that returns a set of strings separated by a path separator.

Use the BreadcrumbQueryPathEventArgs.Breadcrumbs property to provide a breadcrumb control with a set of selected nodes that correspond to path entered by an end user.
