Description

I am using FlipView control in my tablet. But I found I can not use swipe left or swipe right to change the FlipView SelectedIndex. I think it should support like windows store app.

Environment

  • MahApps.Metro v1.2.4
  • Windows 10.0.10586.318
  • Visual Studio 2015 update 2
  • .NET Framework 4.5.2

Investigate how FlipView currently handles input events. Look at FlipView.cs in the MahApps.Metro source for existing gesture handling. Research Windows touch event handling and swipe gesture recognition. Consider implementing manipulation events or using GestureRecognizer.
