How to enable manipulation events in custom control?

Question

I am creating a Windows Phone 7.5 Silverlight application. I am creating a new custom control:

public class ChartCanvas : Canvas

When I use it on another page, it doesn't fire any events. Here is my XAML:

<Controls:ChartCanvas x:Name="chartControl" 
                      Margin="8"
                      DoubleTap="chartControl_DoubleTap" 
                      ManipulationStarted="chartControl_ManipulationStarted" />

How do I enable the DoubleTap event and manipulation events for this control?

You probably would want to bind your events to your datacontext's ViewModel since this would have a control that is generic that can have different implementation of handling the events.

Unless you explicitly coded in the ChartCanvas behind the code the logic for DoubleTap/ManipulationStarted and don't want it to be generic e.g. for handling data/stuff then this should be fine

Yes, sure, this is just an example. But my question is a bit another. – Eugene Aug 27 '12 at 11:31
I thought your question was how to enable the DoubleTap event and manipulation events for the control? – 123 456 789 0 Aug 27 '12 at 13:21
Yes the question is the on you mentioned. The problem is that these events doesn't fire at all. I added event handlers and put there breakpoints and breakpoints doesn't fire. – Eugene Aug 27 '12 at 13:36
Where is your breakpoint, could you give more sample code? Which class is it? – 123 456 789 0 Aug 28 '12 at 02:13
