A new set of APIs is being introduced that will enable application developers to take advantage of the new Windows Mobile 6.5 touch gesture framework. The gesture APIs allow an application to handle touch gesture input and provide a visually consistent experience with the rest of the device UI. Note that the gesture APIs are only available on the Windows Mobile Classic and Professional SKUs. The headers and libraries are installed in the Windows Mobile SDK\Pocket PC\ folder. Samples that make use of these APIs are installed into the Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit\Samples\ folder.

Additional Information


Known Issues:
  • On some configurations, repairing the emulator image pack may show an error dialog if Visual Studio is not installed. The dialog can be closed and the repair will finish successfully.
  • Removing the emulator image package will remove the Cellular Emulator shortcut from the Start Menu (when other locales or the Windows Mobile 6 SDKs are installed). Refreshing the remaining locales or the SDK will re-install the shortcut.
  • If the install fails with "Setup Wizard ended prematurely" message, install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) and restart the Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit package install.
