Disable pivot flick for WP7 - windows

Question

seeing this blog post : http://mine.tuxfamily.org/?p=111, I'm trying to disable the pivot flick when flicking on a control inside the pivot.
I've tryed the proposed solution with IsHitTestVisible, but it seems that the application locks when setting it to false.
To reproduce the problem, create a wp7 basic application. Use this xaml :
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent">
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<controls:Pivot Name="pivotCtrl" Grid.Row="1">
<controls:Pivot.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Value1}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:Pivot.HeaderTemplate>
<controls:Pivot.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="40"/>
<RowDefinition Height="40"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Height="38" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" Text="{Binding Value1}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Height="38" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" Text="{Binding Value2}" />
<Canvas Grid.Row="2" Width="400" Height="300" Background="Yellow" MouseLeftButtonUp="Canvas_MouseLeftButtonUp" MouseLeftButtonDown="Canvas_MouseLeftButtonDown" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:Pivot.ItemTemplate>
</controls:Pivot>
</Grid>
</Grid>
with this code behing :
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
List<Element> elements = new List<Element>();
for (int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++)
elements.Add(new Element { Value1 = "Value - " + i, Value2 = "Something - " + i});
pivotCtrl.ItemsSource = elements;
}
private void Canvas_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("On");
pivotCtrl.IsHitTestVisible = true;
}
private void Canvas_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Off");
pivotCtrl.IsHitTestVisible = false;
}
}
public class Element
{
public string Value1 { get; set; }
public string Value2 { get; set; }
}
In debug mode, I can see the "Off" value, but never the "On" one.
Maybe there's another solution for this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
