Mouse.captured windows phone equivalent

I have a MVVM build application, for Windows Phone 8. I have read a bit about it, and found that on WPF you normally use 

     Mouse.Capture();

But this is not possible on Windows Phone 8. Instead I used ManipulationStartedEventArgs. Where I was able to find 

     ManipulationContainer.CaptureMouse();

Firstly is this the same function as: 

     Mouse.Capture();

What I understand is that they bind to a UIElement, which the user chose ?

Second Part

When the mouse has been captured, normally you can invoke:

     Mouse.Captured

To see if the mouse is captured to a UIElement. But I have not been able to find the same method inside ManipulationDeltaEventArgs or ManipulationCompletedEventArgs.

Can you tell me how this is done in Windows Phone, and how to release the mouse again.

Solution

  • So what i did was to tap into the manipulation events and make logic there to ensure movement
