Using the touch screen
Gesture
Description
Slide to pan
Slide is primarily used for panning interactions but can
also be used for moving, drawing or writing. Slide can also
be used to target small, densely packed elements by
scrubbing (sliding the fnger over related objects such as
radio buttons).
Swipe to select, command, and move
Sliding the fnger a short distance, perpendicular to the
panning direction, selects objects in a list or grid
(ListView and GridLayout controls). Display the AppBar
with relevant commands when objects are selected.
Pinch and stretch to zoom
While the pinch and stretch gestures are commonly used
for resizing, they also enable jumping to the beginning,
end, or anywhere within content with Semantic Zoom. A
Semantic Zoom control provides a zoomed out view for
showing groups of items and quick ways to dive back into
them.
Turn to rotate
Rotating with two or more fngers causes an object to
rotate.
