Touch Gesture Support
Topic Overview
Purpose
This topic explains the touch gesture support of the XAML controls, the usage of the controls in touch environment and the limitations you can face while using the controls.
Starting from the 12.1 release the Ultimate UI for WPF controls support touch gestures. There are many improvements in the controls to support touch gestures, like larger touch targets and invisible touch buffers so that the controls can be easily operated in a touch environment. Also to make controls even more easy to use with fingers you can apply a specially created Metro Theme.
