It’s because it’s a TextBlock. TestBlock doesn’t support any events.

If it was a Button you’d see 5 events. If you want, you can open up the C++ source file ‘Button.h’, and you can see where these 5 events come from.

But TextBlock.h doesn’t declare any events, so there aren’t any Events to display in the Details panel. If you want your TextBlock to support events, Wrap it with a Button class. (Right click it in the Hierarchy, 'Wrap As…). If you’re following a tutorial maybe it already has a parent which is a Button, in that case just click on its parent.

Question, why is this unchecked by default? Anyone know?

+1 to above, and also it would be great to know why conceptually the button should be “Is variable” in order to have events
