public enum GestureType
Members
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| None | Represents no gestures. |
|
| Tap | The user briefly touched a single point on the screen. |
|
| DoubleTap | The user tapped the screen twice in quick succession. This always is preceded by a Tap gesture. If the time between taps is too great to be considered a DoubleTap, two Tap gestures will be generated instead. |
|
| Hold | The user touched a single point on the screen for approximately one second. This is a single event, and not continuously generated while the user is holding the touchpoint. |
|
| HorizontalDrag | The user touched the screen, and then performed a horizontal (left to right or right to left) gesture. |
|
| VerticalDrag | The user touched the screen, and then performed a vertical (top to bottom or bottom to top) gesture. |
|
| FreeDrag | The user touched the screen, and then performed a free-form drag gesture. |
|
| Pinch | The user touched two points on the screen, and then converged or diverged them. Pinch behaves like a two-finger drag. When this gesture is enabled, it takes precedence over drag gestures while two fingers are down. |
|
| Flick | The user performed a touch combined with a quick swipe of the screen. Flicks are positionless. The velocity of the flick can be retrieved by reading the Delta member of GestureSample. |
|
| DragComplete | A drag gesture (VerticalDrag, HorizontalDrag, or FreeDrag) was completed. This signals only completion. No position or delta data is valid for this sample. |
|
| PinchComplete | A pinch operation was completed. This signals only completion. No position or delta data is valid for this sample. |
Remarks
These values can be combined when reading them from, or writing them to, TouchPanel.EnabledGestures.
