Events

Handle events that are sent to and from controls when you interact with them.

When a user interacts with your app, you need to know what action the user has taken so you can respond appropriately. You can handle simple events, such as taps or touches, and you can also handle more complicated events and gestures, such as long presses, pinches, or double taps. You can define exactly how your app responds to user input, and change the behavior of touch events and touch propagation.

To learn more about handling touch events in your apps, visit the Touch interaction documentation.

To download code samples that demonstrate how to handle touch events, visit the Sample Apps page and the Cascades Samples repository in Github.
