tap on image should open dialog boxes in WP7

Question

I have an image so when I tap on the image it should open me a dialogue box with two buttons saying Camera or Gallery so the user can select to choose whether he wants to take a picture from camera or use already existing image from gallery.

I m using GestureListener to listen to Tap event.

    <Image Margin="88.687,189.769,58.674,340.698" Grid.Row="1" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" UseLayoutRounding="False" d:LayoutRounding="Auto" Source="feet,vintage,music,girl,girl,guitar,jeans-7285bdf005743617f8892359619b148a_h.jpg" Stretch="UniformToFill">
        <Image.RenderTransform>
            <CompositeTransform Rotation="-8.33"/>
        </Image.RenderTransform>
        <toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>
            <toolkit:GestureListener Tap="GestureListener_Tap" />
        </toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>
    </Image>

But I dont know how to invoke the dialogue box if the user tap on the image. Or Is it possible I could use context menu to select camera or gallery.

please suggest

Answer 1

Instead of adding the Gesture Listener , you can just add an event handler to the Tap event of the image control .

 < Image Tap = "MyImageTap" name="MyImage"> < /Image>

from the XAML . Or you can do the same in code by: MyImage.Tap += new RoutedEventHandler(MyImageTap);

 from the XAML . Or you can do the same in code by: MyImage.Tap += new RoutedEventHandler(MyImageTap); 

Then in the event handler function, you can perform the desired logic.
For presenting a pop-up, you can use the default Popup control, or can create your own control, as per your needs.

If you want a ContextMenu you should use the ContextMenu from the Silverlight Toolkit as you're already attempting to use for the GestureListener.

Then you can assign two different commands, one for opening the CameraCaptureTask or another for opening the PhotoChooserTask .
