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

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

I'm in the same situation, and I'm looking for "the recommended way". In the meantime, Mike Francis posted a solution on his blog, using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input.TouchPanel's gesture recognition within a Silverlight app. I didn't try it.

Thanks for the link, that was pretty much the solution I was contemplating. I wonder if this is something missing from the beta? – David Hayes Jul 30 '10 at 13:07

Button b = new Button();
b.Hold += new EventHandler<System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs>(HoldEventHandler);

The above code should work for touch and hold event
