Windows Phone: OnManipulationStarted doesn't fire when touching ad control

Question

When I try to add Nokia Ad Exchange ad control in my page XAML, the overridden OnManipulationStarted event handler doesn't fire when I touch it. It is fired if I touch anything else, but if I touch it specifically, then it doesn't enter in the method code.

Is this a related issue to the control or should I add something else?

Answer 1

It's probably handled by the control, so it doesn't bubble up. You can use the alternative control.AddHandler method rather than += to add an event handler. It takes a boolean that specifies if you want the event handler called even if it was handled by a sub-element.
