Custom Gesture Recognition (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
Compact 2013 provides a built-in gesture recognizer that is always active when you enable touch and gestures. You cannot remove or disable it. However, an OEM may need gesture recognition capabilities different from those supplied by the built-in recognizer. If so, the OEM can modify the built-in recognizer, or create a custom recognizer to recognize additional gestures. A recognizer is a kernel mode module.
Important
Modifying the built-in recognizer makes it more difficult to take advantage of future enhancements that Microsoft might provide for that recognizer.
This section provides information about gesture recognition and the built-in recognizer. For an overview of touch and gesture software, and a description of the touch and gesture architecture, see Touch and Gesture. For an introduction to gesture recognizers specifically, see Gesture Recognizers.
