Windows.UI.Input Namespace

Base class for an InputActivationListener object associated with a window, view, or other visual element.

Contains event data for the CrossSliding event.

Contains event data for the Dragging event.

Provides access to the events that notify an app of triggers to its edge-based UI.

Provides access to the type of user input that triggered the edge gesture event.

Provides gesture and manipulation recognition, event listeners, and settings.

Contains event data for the Holding event.

Provides the ability to access and observe changes to the activation state of a window, view, or other visual element.

Contains event data for the InputActivationChanged event.

Enables an app to override the system processing of raw keyboard input, including key combinations such as shortcut keys, access keys (or hot keys), accelerator keys, and application keys.

The raw keyboard input is intercepted, suppressed, and routed to the app (when in the foreground) for processing.

Contains event data for the ManipulationCompleted event.

Contains event data for the GestureRecognizer.ManipulationInertiaStartingEvent.

Contains event data for the ManipulationStarted event.

Contains event data for the ManipulationUpdated event.

Provides properties associated with the button wheel of a mouse device.

Provides basic properties for the input pointer associated with a single mouse, pen/stylus, or touch contact.

Provides extended properties for a PointerPoint object.

In most cases, we recommend that you obtain pointer info through the pointer event handlers of your chosen Windows 8 language framework (Windows app using JavaScript, UWP app using C++, C#, or Visual Basic, or UWP app using DirectX with C++).

If the event argument doesn't expose the pointer details required by your app, you can get access to extended pointer data from the event argument through the getCurrentPoint and getIntermediatePoints methods or currentPoint and intermediatePoints properties. We recommend using the getCurrentPoint and getIntermediatePoints methods as you can specify the context of the pointer data.

The static PointerPoint methods, GetCurrentPoint and GetIntermediatePoints, always use the context of the app.

Provides access to the visual feedback settings for pointer input.

Represents a wheel input device or accessory such as the Surface Dial.

With a form factor based on a rotate action (or gesture), the Surface Dial is intended as a secondary, multi-modal input device that complements input from a primary device. In most cases, the device is manipulated by a user's non-dominant hand while performing a task with their dominant hand (such as inking with a pen). It is not designed for precision pointer input (like touch, pen, or mouse).

The Surface Dial also supports both a press and hold action and a click action. Press and hold has a single function: display a menu of commands. If the menu is active, the rotate and click input is processed by the menu. Otherwise, the input is passed to your app for processing.

The RadialController and related APIs (see end of topic) enable you to customize both the integrated command menu and the interaction experience supported by your app.

Contains event data for the ButtonClicked event (fired only while a custom RadialController tool is active).

Your app does not receive this event when:

• The RadialController menu is active
• A built-in tool is active

Contains event data for the ButtonHolding event (fired only when IsMenuSuppressed is true).

Contains event data for the ButtonPressed event.

Contains event data for the ButtonReleased event.

Provides configuration details for the RadialController menu.

Contains event data for the ControlAcquired event when a custom tool is selected from the RadialController menu, or when an app associated with the RadialController object is brought to the foreground (fired only while a custom RadialController tool is active).

Represents the integrated menu of contextual tools associated with the RadialController object.

Represents a single custom tool from the RadialController menu.

Contains event data for the RotationChanged event (fired only while a custom RadialController tool is active).

Your app does not receive this event when:

• The RadialController menu is active
• A built-in tool is active

Provides contact details for the wheel device when placed on the digitizer surface, while a custom RadialController tool is active.

In device-independent pixel (DIP), relative to the application window.

Contains event data for the ScreenContactContinued event (fired only while a custom RadialController tool is active).

Your app does not receive this event when:

• The RadialController menu is active
• A built-in tool is active

Contains event data for the ScreenContactEnded event (fired only while a custom RadialController tool is active).

Your app does not receive this event when:

• The RadialController menu is active
• A built-in tool is active

Contains event data for the ScreenContactStarted event (fired only while a custom RadialController tool is active).

Your app does not receive this event when:

• The RadialController menu is active
• A built-in tool is active

Contains event data for the RightTapped event.

Enables the ability to handle events generated by hardware system buttons (such as the Function buttons).

Contains event data for the SystemFunctionButtonPressed and SystemFunctionButtonReleased events.

Contains event data for the SystemFunctionLockChanged event.

Contains event data for the SystemFunctionLockIndicatorChanged event.

Contains event data for the Tapped event.

Contains the distance thresholds for a CrossSliding interaction.

Contains the accumulated transformations for the current manipulation.

Contains the velocities of the accumulated transformations for the current interaction.

Provides generalized transformation functions.

Specifies the possible states of the CrossSliding event.

Specifies the possible states of the Dragging event.

Specifies the type of user input that triggered the edge gesture event.

Specifies the permission state for tracking the user's gaze.

Specifies the interactions that are supported by an application.

Specifies the state of the Holding event.

Specifies all possible activation states for a view, window, or other user interface element.

Specifies the types of pointer updates that are supported by an application.

Specifies the set of system icons available for a custom RadialController tool on the RadialControllerMenu.

Specifies the set of built-in RadialController tools available on the RadialControllerMenu.
