Prevent Vertical Scrolling During Mobile Horizontal swipe

[Stovetopdropp]

Im having some issues on mobile with the horizontal swipe. I am using a horizontal swipe event on a carousel which does work, however the page typically scrolls vertically while the swipe is happening if the users finger does not move perfectly straight across the screen. Is there a way to prevent vertical page scrolling during a left or right swipe event?

I've found also that if you vertically scroll, sometimes the horizontal swipe will trigger, which is not ideal. It needs to be able to differentiate between the two.

haha, nevermind. Figured out what I was doing wrong.

ah... What happened? Could you share something to us?

Basically, swiping also triggers bottom/top - you need to make sure you ignore these. My code was waiting on a swipe, but didn't differentiate between the two.

For your issue in particular, I'm not sure you can stop people swiping up/down.

User scrolling is not allowed to prevent here. You can judge the direction in swipe callback to know this event is what you want or not.
