Examples

Here we set up a GestureRecognizer object with a collection of input event handlers for processing various pointer and gestures. For more information on how to listen to and handle Windows Runtime events, see .

Note

Use the target or currentTarget property of the event object instead of the GestureRecognizer object in the event handler.


// inputManager handles gesture recognition for this sample.
function inputManager(target) {
    // Initialize the gesture recognizer.
    var gr = new Windows.UI.Input.GestureRecognizer();

    // Turn off visual feedback for gestures.
    // Visual feedback for pointer input is still displayed. 
    gr.showGestureFeedback = false;

    // Configure gesture recognizer to process the following:
    // double tap               - start questions and timer.
    // tap                      - move to next question.
    // right tap                - show answer.
    // hold and hold with mouse - start clues.
    gr.gestureSettings =
        Windows.UI.Input.GestureSettings.tap |
        Windows.UI.Input.GestureSettings.doubleTap |
        Windows.UI.Input.GestureSettings.rightTap |
        Windows.UI.Input.GestureSettings.hold |
        Windows.UI.Input.GestureSettings.holdWithMouse;

    // Register event listeners for these gestures.
    gr.addEventListener('tapped', tappedHandler);
    gr.addEventListener("holding", holdingHandler);
    gr.addEventListener("righttapped", rightTappedHandler);

    // Register event listeners for DOM pointer events.
    // The event pointer(s) are passed to the gesture recognizer
    // for further processing.
    target.addEventListener('MSPointerDown', pointerDown, false);
    target.addEventListener('MSPointerMove', pointerMove, false);
    target.addEventListener('MSPointerUp', pointerUp, false);
    target.addEventListener("MSPointerOver", pointerOver, true);
    target.addEventListener("MSPointerOut", pointerOut, true);
}

// Handle the pointer move event.
// The holding gesture is routed through this event.
// If pointer move is not handled, holding will not fire.
function pointerMove(evt) {
   _eventLog.innerText += "pointer move || ";

   // Get intermediate PointerPoints
   var pps = evt.intermediatePoints;

   // Pass the array of PointerPoints to the gesture recognizer.
   gr.processMoveEvents(pps);
};

// The pointer move event must also be handled because the 
// holding gesture is routed through this event.
// If pointer move is not handled, holding will not fire.
// A holding event is fired approximately one second after 
// a pointer down if no subsequent movement is detected.
function holdingHandler(evt) {
    if (evt.holdingState == Windows.UI.Input.HoldingState.started) {
        _eventLog.innerText += "holding || ";
    } else if (evt.holdingState == Windows.UI.Input.HoldingState.completed) {
        _eventLog.innerText += "holding completed || ";
    } else {
        _eventLog.innerText += "holding canceled || ";
    }
}

            // Mark event handled, to prevent execution of default event handlers
            args.Handled = true;
        }
    }
}

Remove the event handler and set the gesture recognizer to null if it is no longer needed:


gr.removeEventListener('MSPointerDown', pointerDown);
gr = null;

this._gestureRecognizer = null;

Remarks

You can create a gesture object for each appropriate element when your app starts. However, this approach might not scale well depending on the number of gesture objects you need to create (for example, a jigsaw puzzle with hundreds of pieces).

In this case, you can create gesture objects dynamically on a pointerdown event and destroy them on an MSGestureEnd event. This approach scales well, but does incur some overhead due to creating and releasing these objects.

Alternatively, you can statically allocate and dynamically manage a pool of reusable gesture objects.

Note

: This class is not agile, which means that you need to consider its threading model and marshaling behavior. For more info, see Threading and Marshaling (C++/CX) and Using Windows Runtime objects in a multithreaded environment (.NET).

For more detail on how to use cross-slide functionality, see Guidelines for cross-slide. The threshold distances used by the cross-slide interaction are shown in the following diagram.

Screen shot showing the select and drag and drop processes.

The PivotRadius and PivotCenter properties are used only when single pointer input is detected. They have no effect on multiple pointer input. The value for these properties should be updated regularly during the interaction.

Rotation is supported by a GestureRecognizer only when manipulationRotate is set through the GestureSettings property.

Rotation is not supported for single pointer input if the value of PivotRadius is set to 0.

Constructors

Edit

Initializes a new instance of a GestureRecognizer object.

public : GestureRecognizer()public GestureRecognizer()Public Sub New()// You can use this method in JavaScript.

Remarks

The following is a list of default GestureRecognizer property values.

Properties

AutoProcessInertia AutoProcessInertia AutoProcessInertia AutoProcessInertia

Edit

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether manipulations during inertia are generated automatically.

If this flag is set, the distance threshold is not subtracted from the initial position.

Note

This distance threshold is intended to account for any slight movement of the contact after initial detection. It helps the system differentiate between cross-sliding and panning, and helps ensure that a tap gesture is not interpreted as either.

Methods

CanBeDoubleTap(PointerPoint) CanBeDoubleTap(PointerPoint) CanBeDoubleTap(PointerPoint) CanBeDoubleTap(PointerPoint)

Edit

Identifies whether a tap can still be interpreted as the second tap of a double tap gesture.

public : PlatForm::Boolean CanBeDoubleTap(PointerPoint value)public bool CanBeDoubleTap(PointerPoint value)Public Function CanBeDoubleTap(value As PointerPoint) As bool// You can use this method in JavaScript.
Parameters
value
PointerPoint PointerPoint PointerPoint PointerPoint

The last input pointer.

Returns
PlatForm::Boolean bool bool bool

True if a UI element supports the double tap gesture and the time threshold to complete the gesture has not been crossed; otherwise false.

Remarks

This method supports GestureRecognizer object pool management, where GestureRecognizer objects are dynamically assigned to a set of UI elements.

Specifically, GestureRecognizer objects can be recycled for UI elements that do not support or can no longer process a double tap gesture. For example, if CanBeDoubleTap returns true for the most recent PointerPoint, it’s not safe to recycle the GestureRecognizer because a double tap is still a viable interaction based on subsequent input. If CanBeDoubleTap returns false, the GestureRecognizer can be safely recycled.

This method is not required if GestureRecognizer object pool management is not implemented.

Events

CrossSliding CrossSliding CrossSliding CrossSliding

Edit

Occurs when a user performs a slide or swipe gesture (through a single touch contact) within a content area that supports panning along a single axis only. The gesture must occur in a direction that is perpendicular to this panning axis.

Note

A swipe is a short sliding gesture that results in a selection action while the longer slide gesture crosses a distance threshold and results in a rearrange action. The swipe and slide gestures are demonstrated in the following diagram. Diagram showing the select and drag actions.

public : event TypedEventHandler CrossSliding<GestureRecognizer,  CrossSlidingEventArgs>public event TypedEventHandler CrossSliding<GestureRecognizer,  CrossSlidingEventArgs>Public Event CrossSliding<GestureRecognizer,  CrossSlidingEventArgs>// You can use this event in JavaScript.

Remarks

CrossSlide must be set in the GestureSettings property to support CrossSliding.

CrossSliding distance thresholds are disabled by default. Use CrossSlideThresholds to set these values.

Dragging Dragging Dragging Dragging

Edit

Occurs when a user performs a slide or swipe gesture with a mouse or pen/stylus (single contact).

public : event TypedEventHandler Dragging<GestureRecognizer,  DraggingEventArgs>public event TypedEventHandler Dragging<GestureRecognizer,  DraggingEventArgs>Public Event Dragging<GestureRecognizer,  DraggingEventArgs>// You can use this event in JavaScript.

Remarks

Drag must be set in the GestureSettings property to support Dragging.

Holding Holding Holding Holding

Edit

Occurs when a user performs a press and hold gesture (with a single touch, mouse, or pen/stylus contact).

public : event TypedEventHandler Holding<GestureRecognizer,  HoldingEventArgs>public event TypedEventHandler Holding<GestureRecognizer,  HoldingEventArgs>Public Event Holding<GestureRecognizer,  HoldingEventArgs>// You can use this event in JavaScript.

Remarks

To support Holding with touch and pen/stylus input, specify Hold in the GestureSettings property.

To support Holding with mouse input, specify HoldWithMouse in the GestureSettings property.

The Holding event is fired twice: Once when holding starts (started ) and again when holding ends (completed or canceled ).

ManipulationCompleted ManipulationCompleted ManipulationCompleted ManipulationCompleted

Edit

Occurs when the input points are lifted and all subsequent motion (translation, expansion, or rotation) through inertia has ended.

public : event TypedEventHandler ManipulationCompleted<GestureRecognizer,  ManipulationCompletedEventArgs>public event TypedEventHandler ManipulationCompleted<GestureRecognizer,  ManipulationCompletedEventArgs>Public Event ManipulationCompleted<GestureRecognizer,  ManipulationCompletedEventArgs>// You can use this event in JavaScript.

ManipulationInertiaStarting ManipulationInertiaStarting ManipulationInertiaStarting ManipulationInertiaStarting

Edit

Occurs when all contact points are lifted during a manipulation and the velocity of the manipulation is significant enough to initiate inertia behavior (translation, expansion, or rotation continue after the input pointers are lifted).

public : event TypedEventHandler ManipulationInertiaStarting<GestureRecognizer,  ManipulationInertiaStartingEventArgs>public event TypedEventHandler ManipulationInertiaStarting<GestureRecognizer,  ManipulationInertiaStartingEventArgs>Public Event ManipulationInertiaStarting<GestureRecognizer,  ManipulationInertiaStartingEventArgs>// You can use this event in JavaScript.

Remarks

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of rest or its velocity.

This event is raised before inertia processing.

Inertia behavior for this manipulation can be customized in the handler for this event. For example, inertia can be set to end after a specific distance or UI is displayed.

Note

These settings cannot be customized after the event.
