Expose the SupportsGesture property in the GestureInfoHelper class to enable users to enable/disable gesture support manually. Workaround: set the field with Reflection private void DisableGestures() { Type gestureHelperType = typeof(GestureInfoHelper); FieldInfo field = gestureHelperType.GetField("supportsGestures", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static); field.SetValue(null,false); }
