Tap and Hold (Long Press)

Question

Has anyone implemented Tap & Hold in a Windows Phone 7 App yet? I can see a couple of possible approaches KeyDown/KeyUp and a timer or ManipulationStarted/manipulationCompleted and a timer.
However it strikes me that this is a less than idea approach because different apps would have different timer settings leading to inconsistency.
Am I missing something? I was hoping for a TapAndHold event

Answer 1

For all views Hold method is there. It will handle long press function.

Answer 2

Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone adds easy to use gestures support, including On Hold gestures
