Description

Returns the type of trackpad/touch gesture — Scroll, Magnify, Swipe, Rotate, or LongPress — associated with this pointer event.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns ESlateGesture::None for ordinary mouse/touch move and click events — only populated for gesture-recognizer events on supported platforms such as macOS trackpads.
• Gesture support and which gesture types are actually raised varies significantly by platform and input device.
