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 User

Answer 1

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 2

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

Please see this answer to a very similar question for a slightly longer response: WP7 Toggle switch in a Pivot control?

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.
