Property Value
The pointer emulation mode. The default is Never.
Remarks
For non-pointer input devices, focus is moved between controls through a variety of methods, such as the Tab and arrow keys on a keyboard or the directional pad (D-pad) and thumb sticks on a game controller. For some user experiences, such as maps and drawing surfaces, it is not possible or practical to use XY focus navigation. RequiresPointer enables an app to provide a more pointer-like interaction experience through a cursor that can be moved freely using the game controller.
RequiresPointer is supported only when using a game controller. The property is ignored otherwise.
