How to stop the WP7 pivot control handling the Flick Gesture event in Silverlight Toolkit

Question

I have a Pivot Control in my WP7 app that by nature responds to left and right swipes to move between the pivot items.

I then want to use the Flick Gesture on a UserControl (a small UI segment on my page) for something else.

My user control does handle the event but so does the Pivot control, so it navigates to the next item. I have not figured out how to stop the event when the usercontrol handles it.

Is it possible to use a sub control with the flick gesture within a WP7 Pivot Control?

eg:

        private void glBlinds_Flick(object sender, FlickGestureEventArgs e)
        {
                //do stuff
                e.Handled = true;
        }

Answer 1

The short answer is don't put a control which supports a gesture on top of another control which also supports the same gesture.

Answer 2

This solution posted recently seems to be working out for people for dealing with gesture conflicts on pano / pivot. You might like to check it out.

Answer 3

I found this works well for incorporating a slider on a pivot item:

LayoutRoot
  Pivot
    PivotItem
      Grid
        Scrollviewer
          [Content goes here, I use another grid]
        Slider

If I skip the grid and place the slider inside the scrollviewer it doesn't work. I stumbled upon this solution as I wanted to support landscape and still have the slider visible / usable.

You might be able to place your small UI segment for the gesture similar to where I placed my slider.
