WinRT Gesture Support

Question

Are there any built-in APIs for handling gestures in WinRT (to scale up). I already have zoom working with the mouse using:

public event PointerEventHandler PointerWheelChanged; // UIElement class 

and I need a touch equivalent. Any pointers on the best way to achieve this? Should I use one of these "manipulation" events?

  public event ManipulationDeltaEventHandler ManipulationDelta;

This talk with Reed Townsend discusses how to use the gesture recognition API. You can also look at the GestureRecognizer class for more information on how to recognize gesture in Runtime Windows applications.
