How to dismiss a ContentDialog by tapping out site of it in Windows Phone 8.1?

Question

I have a problem with ContentDialog, as you knew, a ContentDialog can be dismissed when we tap to its button, but now, I want to dismiss this by tapping to the out site section of it. How to do that? Please help me!

Answer 1

When you calling the ShowAsync method of ContentDialog pass the CancellationTokenSource(cts);

 CancellationTokenSource cts;
 cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
contentDialog.ShowAsync().AsTask(cts.Token); 

listen for Tapped event of the page. Cancel the task(ContenDialog task) inside event method like below

void Page_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
           contentDialog.Hide();
            cts.Cancel();

        }

Answer 2

Have a look at the PopUp control and its IsOpen property. I hope thats more suitable in your case though the ContentDialog has Hide() method to hide it.
