LongListSelector does not support touchable objects like buttons in its items - all touches are translated into item selection. The other day, I was refactoring from LongListSelector back to ListBox.

What would have helped tremendously to make the transition from ListBox more attractive for people is a bindable SelectedItem property. That is a real annoyance and I hope it will be fixed soon.

Other than that it's a great control and a great move to integrate it more deeply into the platform. Thanks!

The improvements to the LongListSelector control in WP8 are very welcome. SortedLocaleGrouping is great!

I've come across a couple of annoyances:

1. Scrollbars in both the main LongListSelector display and jump list popup take up horizontal space, adding a margin on the right of the content. The margin disappears if the content isn't tall enough to mean scrolling is necessary. This didn't happen with the WP7 Toolkit LongListSelector.

2. Adding items to the collection that is the ItemsSource of the LongListSelector control seems to scroll the list to the bottom. I had to add a call to ScrollTo to work around this. Again, this wasn't an issue in the WP7 Toolkit control. (For reference, my collection is of the type ObservableCollection>).

One other thing: it'd be nice if we could use 'Stretch' as the HorizontalAlignment for the top-level control in the DataTemplate for JumpListStyle, rather than setting the width manually (it's set to 470 in the example in this post).

So, not this time.
