Easiest way to react to swipe gestures?

Question

I want to bring up a Flyout that places a row of thumbnails at the bottom of the screen, like the Favorites row in IE on the Surface 2.  I found this sample by Vishal:

I'm about to dive into it, but before I make that journey I wanted to make sure there isn't some simple existing swipe event or UI property I can set to react to the common "swipe from bottom of the screen" gesture.

Answer 1

The AppBar class implements this for you. See Adding app bars .

If you want to roll your own take a look at the EdgeGesture class and the Edge gesture invocation sample
