Property Value

ManipulationPivot

An object that describes the pivot for a single-point manipulation.

Examples

The following example shows an event handler for the ManipulationStarting event and sets the ManipulationStartingEventArgs.Pivot property. To test this example, follow the steps in Walkthrough: Creating Your First Touch Application and replace the code in step 4 with this code.

void Window_ManipulationStarting(object sender, ManipulationStartingEventArgs e)
{
    // Set the ManipulationPivot so that the element rotates as it is
    // moved with one finger.
    FrameworkElement element = e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;
    ManipulationPivot pivot = new ManipulationPivot();
    pivot.Center = new Point(element.ActualWidth / 2, element.ActualHeight / 2);
    pivot.Radius = 20;
    e.Pivot = pivot;

    e.ManipulationContainer = this;
    e.Handled = true;
}

Private Sub Window_ManipulationStarting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ManipulationStartingEventArgs)
    ' Set the ManipulationPivot so that the element rotates as it is
    ' moved with one finger.
    Dim element As FrameworkElement = TryCast(e.OriginalSource, FrameworkElement)
    Dim pivot As New ManipulationPivot()
    pivot.Center = New Point(element.ActualWidth / 2, element.ActualHeight / 2)
    pivot.Radius = 20
    e.Pivot = pivot

    e.ManipulationContainer = Me
    e.Handled = True
End Sub

Remarks

When you set the Pivot property, the manipulation will contain rotation data when the user uses one finger during a manipulation. This is to simulate real-world situations where you can use one finger to rotate an object, such as a piece of paper on a table. If the Pivot is null, the user must use two fingers to cause rotation.
