Gestures

Question

Can anybody point me to an example of how to use gestures in 2.1.    I'm most interested in using the drag gesture to pan the map.    The map automatically seems to understand my pinch gestures to zoom.   Why doesn't it do the pan automatically (do I need to do something special)?

I tried the following code to get any gesture (no message box appears):

private void MyMap_MapGesture(object sender, Map.MapGestureEventArgs e)
        {
           GestureType Gest = e.Gesture;

MessageBox.Show("Test" + Gest.ToString());
           if (Gest == GestureType.Drag)
           {
               //ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Map.MouseEventArgs mouseEventArgs = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Map.MouseEventArgs();
               //mouseEventArgs.MapPoint = e.MapPoint;
               MyMap.PanTo(e.MapPoint);
           }
        }

I'm testing this on an HP Slate which seems to understand gestures in my old ADF solution.

Does anyone have any update on this?

We are also facing the same issue. Touch Events like Map pan and Tap is not working when windowless parameter is true.

is there a way to get pan to work even when using <param name="Windowless" value="true" /> ?

Okay I finally figured this out. If you use the <param name="Windowless" value="true" /> on your Silverlight Object tag in your html or aspx page it disables the pan gesture (pinch and expand gestures still work).  It also seems to work better with my HP Slate as the other setting sometime crashes on gestures.    BTW: I believe I got that code from the default template (may that should be removed?).
