Remarks

Create an instance of this class by calling SwapChainBackgroundPanel.CreateCoreIndependentInputSource or SwapChainPanel.CreateCoreIndependentInputSource.

The CoreIndependentInputSource class enables an app to handle input and rendering independent of the XAML UI thread, because you're intentionally providing the input processing logic on a background thread. You must call CreateCoreIndependentInputSource from a non-UI thread, otherwise the CreateCoreIndependentInputSource method call will fail.
