"Clickable" textblock?

Asked 2010-11-29T21:19:59.630

I have a WP7 app where I would like to have a "clickable" TextBlock area, that when a user clicks on the TextBlock, it puts it into edit mode (a different control). This would add another explicit step for a user before editing text.

There is no click event for the TextBlock (which doesn't surprise me).

Is there any way to do this? Wrapped in another control, or something similar?

It sounds like you just need a button. Change the control template to remove the border styling etc. and make your own (or clear the existing) visual states. Or even edit it so the 'depressed' state gives a little 3D projection.

Also, with a button, you can also use the Command on the button if you're using MVVM.
