How to remove all Click event handlers? [duplicate]

Answer 1

The below is a helpful utility method for retrieving all subscribed event handlers for any routed event:

/// <summary>
/// Gets the list of routed event handlers subscribed to the specified routed event.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="element">The UI element on which the event is defined.</param>
/// <param name="routedEvent">The routed event for which to retrieve the event handlers.</param>
/// <returns>The list of subscribed routed event handlers.</returns>
public static RoutedEventHandlerInfo[] GetRoutedEventHandlers(UIElement element, RoutedEvent routedEvent)
{
    // Get the EventHandlersStore instance which holds event handlers for the specified element.
    // The EventHandlersStore class is declared as internal.
    var eventHandlersStoreProperty = typeof(UIElement).GetProperty(
        "EventHandlersStore", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    object eventHandlersStore = eventHandlersStoreProperty.GetValue(element, null);

    // Invoke the GetRoutedEventHandlers method on the EventHandlersStore instance 
    // for getting an array of the subscribed event handlers.
    var getRoutedEventHandlers = eventHandlersStore.GetType().GetMethod(
        "GetRoutedEventHandlers", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    var routedEventHandlers = (RoutedEventHandlerInfo[])getRoutedEventHandlers.Invoke(
        eventHandlersStore, new object[] { routedEvent });

    return routedEventHandlers;
}

Using the above, the implementation of your method becomes quite simple:

private void RemoveClickEvent(Button b)
{
    var routedEventHandlers = GetRoutedEventHandlers(b, ButtonBase.ClickEvent);
    foreach (var routedEventHandler in routedEventHandlers)
        b.Click -= (RoutedEventHandler)routedEventHandler.Handler;
}
