GestureRecognizer only sending navigation events on Y axis?

Flarb

So is there some kind of limitation with GestureRecognizer that it can only recognize navigation on one axis?

I'm trying to use a virtual joystick kind of control where you move your finger around to indicate up, down, left, right, in, and out.

So, I enable all of the navigation inputs like this:

_gestureRecognizer.SetRecognizableGestures(GestureSettings.NavigationRailsX);
_gestureRecognizer.SetRecognizableGestures(GestureSettings.NavigationRailsY);
_gestureRecognizer.SetRecognizableGestures(GestureSettings.NavigationRailsZ);

(I've also tried the non rails version, and the same thing happens except it only sends values on the z axis)

But in NavigationUpdated (the delegate for the updated event) I only ever get a value in the y axis for up and down movement in the normalizedOffset argument (it's always 0, x, 0 where X is some nonzero value)

Is there a proper way to enable gesture recognition on all axes?

Hi @Flarb,
You will need to OR (|) the values together in a single call to SetRecognizableGestures().

_gestureRecognizer.SetRecognizableGestures(GestureSettings.NavigationRailsX |GestureSettings.NavigationRailsY | GestureSettings.NavigationRailsZ);

Oh my god I just realized these were flags--duh! Thanks a lot though!
