Okay, im positive this has an answer somewhere but I have been banging my head against a wall FOREVER trying to get this to work, an working around it for days, and im losing my mind here. I cannot find a single example that works or does what I want... at least not that I understand how its written.
Im writing a custom control, basically a content view with a calculator in it. One of the controls in this is an entry.
What i want is VERY simple... when you create an entry in XAML you can do
<Entry TextChanged="FunctionToRun">
and then whenever the text is changed, an event is fired and that function is run.
In my case i want to add a custom event to my calculator class so that when i create one on a page:
<local:myCalculator CountUpdated="FunctionToRun">
that function gets run.
Everything I look at online talks about using an ICommand and all this - but literally every single example I have tried leads me to either:
A) Not be able to link my function in XAML (errors) B) Only calls something inside the calculator class.... but doesnt trigger any events, and i cannot force it to.
I think i completely do not understand ICommand, and no matter how many examples I ahve looked at I cannot get what im after.
Anyone able to help? im sure its stupidly simple...
