Gestures

Version 2.0 no longer provides explicit support for user-defined gestures. The burden of recognizing and handling new gestures instead falls to the recognizer and application. The Gesture Manager (GESTMAN.EXE) and API function ExecuteGesture do not exist in version 2.0.

The standard set of "circle-letter" gestures remains, however. All version 2.0 edit controls pics/PENAPI00090001.gif hedit, bedit, and iedit pics/PENAPI00090001.gif respond normally to the gestures listed in the following table. An application or recognizer is free to provide support for any other gesture.

This table lists the gestures available in version 2.0 edit controls. Note that the V-circle and check-mark-circle gestures have identical behavior. The V-circle gesture is provided only to prevent confusion with the check-mark-circle gesture.
