trouble in handling click and touch events on listview in xaml

Question

I have created a listview in xaml. My requirements are- Mouse click left click - leftclick handler and get the selected item index right click - rightclick handler and get the selected item index Touch tap - same behavior as left click swipe - same behavior as right click My code : <ListView x:Name="myList" ItemsSource="{Binding myList}" SelectionMode="Single" IsSwipeEnabled="True" Tapped="onItemSelected" RightTapped="onItemRightTapped"/> I want only one item to be selected at a time. On left clicking, event handler is invoked and i can use the selected index. On right clicking, i am facing trouble to invoke the handler and find the selected index. Any help ?

Answer 1

You did not enable the right tap.

See the documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.uielement.righttapped.aspx

PS, I would not do this.  RightTapped is reserved for context menus and this will confuse your users potentially resulting in bad review scores for your app.

Answer 2

Even if I enable the right tap, the right tap handler is not invoked.
As I saw in some articles, right tap handler is automatically swallowed and is not invoked if we set the selection mode not equal to none.

I need selection of listview item and event handlers for both left and right clicks.

Did you try this technique:
