Windows Mobile 65 Gestures in Managed Code

One of the interesting new features available for Windows Mobile 6.5 Devices is native support for gestures. In the Windows Mobile 6.5 documentation, gestures are defined as “short, directional movements over a control or object on the screen”.  The functionality to make use of Windows Mobile 6.5 Gestures is implemented in a static native library. This means that this functionality is not immediately available for Managed Application Developers.

To make this functionality available for Managed Developers, DotNETForDevices is happy to announce the immediate availability of a whitepaper and sample code to use Windows Mobile 6.5 Gestures in managed code.

The sample code combines the GestureAPISamples that are shipped as part of the Windows Mobile 6.5 DTK, with identical functionality, but of course entirely executing in managed code.

You can download the whitepaper from this location:

The sample code is available at the same location:

The source code of the GestureHelper Type Library is absolutely royalty free. Take the code, play with it and modify it to meet your own requirements. However, the source code is shipped as is. You will be using the code at your own risk.
