Examples

The following example enables you to create simple patterns on a Canvas by dragging two fingers on a touchscreen. Each touch is represented by a TouchDevice in the TouchEventArgs. The pattern is created by drawing a line between the touch points that are provided by the touches. This example requires a Windows Touch-compatible screen.

The following markup creates the user interface, which consists of a Canvas that is centered in a grid, and attaches the event handlers for the touch events.

<Window x:Class="WpfTouchEventsSample.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="525" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <Canvas x:Name="canvas1"
                Width="500" Height="500"
                Background="Black"
                TouchDown="canvas_TouchDown"
                TouchMove="canvas_TouchMove"
                TouchUp="canvas_TouchUp" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

The following code handles the touch events. When a touch is pressed on the Canvas, the TouchDevice is captured to the Canvas. When the touch is lifted, the TouchDevice is released. When a touch moves on the Canvas, the Id is checked. If the move came from the first touch, its location is recorded. If the move came from the second touch, a line is drawn from the position of the first touch to the position of the second touch.

Remarks

You typically access a TouchDevice by using the TouchEventArgs.TouchDevice property. A TouchDevice represents a single touch on a screen. If multiple touches are present, use the Id property to distinguish between them.

Note

This class contains an inheritance demand at the class level that applies to all members. A SecurityException is thrown when the derived class does not have full-trust permission. For more information about security demands, see Link Demands and Inheritance Demands.
