Gestures
RadImageGallery for ASP.NET AJAX handles gestures from touch enabled screens.You can use tap, swipe, tap and hold and etc. to navigate through the images or turn on/off certain features of the control. In addition the ImageGalleryItem exposes a PreventDefaultGestures property which determines whether the gestures are enabled or not for the currently viewed item. When set to false the tap and hold, swipe and double tap gestures performed over the ImageArea will not trigger an action.
Classic rendering
This is the default rendering of RadImageGallery control.
Image Navigation
With the current implementation you can switch the main image using three gestures.
Tapping on the previous/next image buttons
Performing a left or right swipe over the main image
Tapping on a thumbnail from the thumbnails area
Additionally you can swipe left or right over the thumbnails area to navigate to the next/previous subset of thumbnails. The same effect can be achieved by taping over the previous or next buttons.

Mobile rendering
When using Mobile render mode the gestures that you can perform are a little bit different in comparison with the Classic rendering.
Image Navigation
With the current implementation you can switch the main image using two gestures.
Tapping on the previous/next image buttons
Tapping on a thumbnail from the thumbnails area
Additionally you can swipe left or right over the thumbnails area to navigate to the next/previous subset of thumbnails. The same effect can be achieved by taping over the previous or next buttons.
