[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.Guid(2760536545, 35764, 21911, 158, 49, 144, 58, 63, 106, 4, 251)]
public delegate void PointerEventHandler(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e);

Public Delegate Sub PointerEventHandler(sender As Object, e As PointerRoutedEventArgs)

Parameters

sender: Object
Platform::Object

The object where the event handler is attached.

e: PointerRoutedEventArgs

Event data for the event.

Attributes: ContractVersionAttribute GuidAttribute

Examples

The following code example shows scenario 2 from the Input sample. This code shows some usage patterns for direct manipulation using the PointerPressed, PointerReleased, PointerEntered, PointerExited, and PointerMoved events.
