Share picker like "Share page" in WP7 internet explorer

Is there any way I can get a share picker like the one seen when you share a page from Internet Explorer? It allows you to choose from Messaging, individual emails, or social networks.

This msdn site lists several individual launchers (like social networks, email), but not the one higher up the chain?

Is this possible?

Thanks

  • No - you have to write your own.

    The two best options that I found are: 1. Write your own using the primitive Popup class. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.primitives.popup(v=vs.95).aspx

    1. Use the toolkit ListPicker to simulate such a popup. http://www.windowsphonegeek.com/articles/listpicker-for-wp7-in-depth http://silverlight.codeplex.com/

    (BTW: I am using the Popup and so far am very happy. Took a while to get it just right, but it's good once you do)
