Slides -- how two know if a direction is locked

Trying to use our app in a browser. The Slide seems really buggy with a mouse.
I am trying to lock down the swiping when on a browser. With that I need to know if the swipe direction has already been locked.
I can stop them swiping in some cases using this
this.slides.lockSwipeToNext(true)

Later on I need to figure out if I’m still locked from swiping. Any way to know this?
I tried slides.noSwiping but it seems like I always get true.
