Why does nothing in WPF have a click event?

Question

This seems very strange to me.

I know through some adventurous inheritance you can convert most UIElements to a button, but it is a cumbersome way of implementing the most basic of of computer events

Answer 1

The ButtonBase class certainly has a Click event. So has derived classes.

Answer 2

I think the most basic events are MouseDown and MouseUp which are available to every UIElement
