The MSGestureEvent
is a proprietary interface specific to Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge which represents events that occur due to touch gestures. Events using this interface include MSGestureStart
, MSGestureEnd
, MSGestureTap
, MSGestureHold
, MSGestureChange
, and MSInertiaStart
.
MSGestureEvent
derives from UIEvent
, which in turn derives from Event
. Though the MSGestureEvent.initGestureEvent()
method is kept for backward compatibility, the creation of an MSGestureEvent
object should be done using the MSGestureEvent()
constructor.
This interface also inherits properties of its parents, UIEvent
and Event
.
-
MSGestureEvent.expansion
Read only
-
The diameter of the gesture area. For example, the distance between fingers.
-
MSGestureEvent.gestureObject
Read only
-
Returns the MSGesture
object for this gesture event.
-
MSGestureEvent.rotation
Read only
-
Amount of rotation (in radians) since the previous MSGestureEvent
of the current gesture. Positive values indicate clockwise rotation; negative values indicate counterclockwise rotation.
-
MSGestureEvent.scale
Read only
-
The difference in scale (for zoom gestures) from the previous MSGestureEvent
of the current gesture.
-
MSGestureEvent.translationX
Read only
-
Distance traversed along the X-axis since the previous MSGestureEvent
of the current gesture
-
MSGestureEvent.translationY
Read only
-
Distance traversed along the Y-axis since the previous MSGestureEvent
of the current gesture
-
MSGestureEvent.velocityAngular
Read only
-
Angular velocity. Expressed in radians.
-
MSGestureEvent.velocityExpansion
Read only
-
The velocity of the expansion of the gesture area.
-
MSGestureEvent.velocityX
Read only
-
Velocity along the direction of the X-axis.
-
MSGestureEvent.velocityY
Read only
-
Velocity along the direction of the Y-axis.
This interface also inherits methods of its parents, UIEvent
and Event
.
-
MSGestureEvent.initGestureEvent()
Deprecated
-
Initializes the value of an MSGestureEvent
. If the event has already being dispatched, this method does nothing. This method is deprecated as of Microsoft Edge.
Not part of any specification. Microsoft has a description on MSDN.
