Examples

The following example shows an event handler for the ManipulationDelta event that calls the ReportBoundaryFeedback method when the user moves the element over the edge of its container. To test this example, follow the steps in Walkthrough: Creating Your First Touch Application and replace the code in step 5 with this code.

void Window_ManipulationDelta(object sender, ManipulationDeltaEventArgs e)
{

    Rectangle rectToMove = e.OriginalSource as Rectangle;
    Vector overshoot;

    // When the element crosses the boundary of the window, check whether 
    // the manipulation is in inertia.  If it is, complete the manipulation.
    // Otherwise, report the boundary feedback.
    if (CalculateOvershoot(rectToMove, e.ManipulationContainer, out overshoot))
    {
        if (e.IsInertial)
        {
            e.Complete();
            e.Handled = true;

        }
        else
        {
            //Report that the element hit the boundary
            e.ReportBoundaryFeedback(new ManipulationDelta(overshoot, 0, new Vector(), new Vector()));
        }

Remarks

Use the ReportBoundaryFeedback method to indicate that an element has moved beyond a certain boundary. For example, if a user moves an element outside of the bounds of a Window, you can call this method to report that to the window. When you call ReportBoundaryFeedback, the ManipulationBoundaryFeedback event occurs. By default, the Window subscribes to the ManipulationBoundaryFeedback event to provide visual feedback to the user that a boundary has been reached. You can subscribe to ManipulationBoundaryFeedback to implement custom behavior.
