ContextMenu on tap instead of tap and hold

Question

I need to open up a menu and since WP7 is not designed to perform such actions, I am taking help of Toolkit. Following is the sample code:

Answer 1

You could add GestureListener to the Border and subscribe to the Tap event. In the event handler, you get the ContextMenu for the Border and set IsOpen to true if it doesn't have a logical parent.

    
        
    
    
        
            
            
            
        
    
    


private void GestureListener_Tap(object sender, GestureEventArgs e)
{
    Border border = sender as Border;
    ContextMenu contextMenu = ContextMenuService.GetContextMenu(border);
    if (contextMenu.Parent == null)
    {
        contextMenu.IsOpen = true;
    }
}
