To do this, you will need to implement an animation similar to swipe.
Touch Recommendations in WPF Applications
I have not tried this myself, but here is what the open source repository for the WPF carousel is , which might be worth a look at
Blog post about saber animation in WPF
Change the image to the desired "swipe movement" :)
Free animation libraries if you don't want to create animations yourself
Hope this helps!
Here (by the way) the carousel control in the second link, if it is gone, like the previous one:
