How to Enable Touchscreen Scrolling in WPF CardView?

This article explains how to enable touchscreen swipe‑based scrolling in the CardView control for WPF applications.

By default, the CardView uses scrollbars or navigation buttons to move between cards. On touch-enabled devices, this may feel less intuitive. To support natural touch gestures such as swiping, you can wrap the CardView inside a ScrollViewer and enable panning using the PanningMode property.

PanningMode supports several options, including:

• None
• HorizontalOnly
• VerticalOnly
• Both
• HorizontalFirst
• VerticalFirst

This example enables two‑direction scrolling using touch:

<ScrollViewer PanningMode="Both"
             VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" >
   <StackPanel Margin="10">
       <syncfusion:CardView>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 1">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the first card." Margin="10"/>	
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 2">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the second card." Margin="10"/>
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 3">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the third card." Margin="10"/>
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 4">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the fourth card." Margin="10"/>
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 5">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the fifth card." Margin="10"/>
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 6">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the sixth card." Margin="10"/>
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 7">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the seventh card." Margin="10"/>
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 8">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the eighth card." Margin="10"/>
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 9">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the ninth card." Margin="10"/>
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
           <syncfusion:CardViewItem Header="Card 10">
               <TextBlock Text="This is the tenth card." Margin="10"/>
           </syncfusion:CardViewItem>
       </syncfusion:CardView>     
   </StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
