Question

I have difficulties with implementing Holding event on Image in a Metro app.

<Image Name="imgArrowUp" Source="Images/controls/arrow_up.png" Tapped="imgArrowUp_Tapped" Holding="imgArrowUp_Holding" />

Tapped event works just fine. But I can’t manage to raise Holding event using mouse. I searched through internet and I found some information about GestureSettings.HoldWithMouse, but I don’t get how to use it. I thought it is a XAML argument, but unfortunately it is not.

How can I raise Holding event on the image using left mouse button?

Answer 1

Here is an answer. Only problem was badly chosen event.

Although Holding event eventually worked well using tablet, it doesn’t provide solution I was trying to find. Using PointerPressed and PointerReleased events solve the problem.
