EdgeGesture.GetForCurrentView | getForCurrentView method

Gets an instance of the EdgeGesture class that is used to add and remove event delegate handlers for the current view.

Syntax

public static EdgeGesture GetForCurrentView()

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

Type: EdgeGesture

The currently relevant instance of the EdgeGesture object.

Remarks

This method uses the current CoreWindow of your application's CoreApplication object to determine the particular instance. That is, there is a 1:1 correspondence between different instances of EdgeGesture and CoreWindow. You cannot obtain an instance of an EdgeGesture class for another app, nor can an EdgeGesture instance be obtained for an app without a current CoreWindow.

Windows Phone 8

This API is not implemented and will throw an exception if called.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the use of GetForCurrentView to retrieve an instance EdgeGesture through which it then registers for edge gesture events.

var edgeGesture = Windows.UI.Input.EdgeGesture.getForCurrentView();
edgeGesture.addEventListener("starting", onStarting);
edgeGesture.addEventListener("completed", onCompleted);
edgeGesture.addEventListener("canceled", onCanceled);
