Microsoft-Windows-Embedded-GestureFilter (Industry 8.1)

7/8/2014

Review the settings and examples of the Microsoft-Windows-Embedded-GestureFilter feature package for Windows System Image Manager (SIM) in Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry (Industry 8.1).

You can disable the edge gestures by changing the value of the DisabledEdges setting for Gesture Filter.

Gesture Filter does not filter gestures on accounts with administrator rights.

The top edge gesture and the bottom edge gesture bring up the app bar, which is specific for each Windows Store app. You cannot block these gestures. You can, however, block the extended swipe gesture which closes a Windows Store app.

Some Windows Store apps use charms to change settings for the app. Blocking the right edge gesture prevents a user from using the touchscreen to access the charms. Blocking the right edge gesture does not prevent users from using the keyboard shortcut to bring up charms.

Settings available in Windows SIM
