How to enable Gesture Detection & Mainitain Default Behavious

Question

When using Windows.Ui.input.gestureRecognizer api for gesture detection, for windows touch devices we need to set ms-touch-action:none to disable default behaviours like panning and zooming content and feed it to the code. How do we enable both behaviours. Like i want to pan over a page and detect though the api that i am panning.

Hi Ragarock,

>>How do we enable both behaviours. Like i want to pan over a page and detect though the api that i am panning

A manipulation-blocking element is defined as an element that explicitly blocks direct manipulation via declarative markup, and instead fires gesture events such as MSGestureStart, MSGestureChange, and MSGestureEnd, see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj150607.aspx

Then we can set up a GestureRecognizer object with a collection of input event handlers for processing various pointer and gestures.

About GestureRecognizer class, check the code sample in this link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/br241937?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=javascript&f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#code-snippet-2

No im asking is there any way possible to keep default behaviours of panning and zooming intact while firing pointer events to code.
