Microsoft publishes official documentation about single-touch gestures in Windows Mobile 6.5 July 10, 2009 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. It is documentation for developers, not for end users and only 5 gestures are supported: Tap, Double Tap, Hold, Flick and Pan. Obviously since Windows Mobile 6.5 lacks multi-touch so ultra-fast panning with 2 fingers is not possible: users need to hold down the finger before moving it - much slower and less natural than multi-touch. Anyway getting finger gestures is the biggest achievement in Windows Mobile development since 4 years, so we should be happy that at least something new is coming out of Microsoft: Touch gestures describe gestures in which you use a finger or stylus to make a short, directional movement over a control or object on the screen. Most gestures are a single stroke. Therefore, they correspond to one finger–down (WM_LBUTTONDOWN) and finger–up (WM_LBUTTONUP) event pair. The exception is double tap, in which there are two finger–down and finger–up event pairs in short succession. Gestures are recognized based on finger–down and finger–up events, plus the direction, position, and velocity calculated by the gesture recognizer. Windows Mobile supports five kinds of gestures.
