This message is posted when the user releases the stylus from the touch screen while the stylus is pressed to the touch screen in the client area of a window or when the user releases the left mouse button while the cursor is located within the client area of a window. If another window does not capture the stylus or mouse input, the OS posts the message to the window that contains the stylus tip or cursor.
