I've got a WPF touch application that's working pretty well apart from one thing: capturing the event that's fired when a user first touches an element. TouchDown doesn't seem to work, at least not without a significant delay. TouchEnter works fine when a user slides their finger onto the element, but when they first put their finger onto it there is a significant delay before any event is fired. I need the element to respond pretty much immediately, so any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Solution is to add to the XAML for the control: Stylus.IsPressAndHoldEnabled="False"

<Image Name="image" Source="images\animage.jpg" Stylus.IsPressAndHoldEnabled="False"/>
