windows phone 8 Panorama flick direction

Question

Is there a way I can catch the flicked direction of the Panorama in WP8 by overriding its manipulation events.

I need to make a decision based on which direction it being swiped to.

I dont know how to catch the flick but I know how to know if the user is sliding to right or to left. Maybe, this will fit your need.

We are going to use the event SelectionChanged. We have a list of PanoramaItem like this :

<phone:Panorama x:Name="SamplePanorama" SelectionChanged="SamplePanorama_SelectionChanged">

    <phone:PanoramaItem Header="Sample1" Tag="sample1" />

    <phone:PanoramaItem Header="Sample2" Tag="sample2" />

    <phone:PanoramaItem Header="Sample3" Tag="sample3" />

</phone:Panorama>

And in your C# :

private void Panorama_SelectionChanged_1(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.AddedItems.Count < 1) return;
    if (!(e.AddedItems[0] is PanoramaItem)) return;

    PanoramaItem selectedItem = e.AddedItems[0] as PanoramaItem;
    string tag = selectedItem.Tag.ToString();

    if (tag.Equals("sample2"))
        // user flick from right to left
    else if (tag.Equals("sample3"))
        // user flick from left to right
 }
