Description

Description
It seems that WebView2 does not pass WM_TOUCH messages, so the app is not aware of such events.

Also tried ofxWinTouchHook without success.

Version
SDK: 1.0.1418.22
Runtime: WebView2 Runtime 107.0.1418.62
Framework: Win32
OS: Win10

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior in a Win32 WebView2 app using SDK 1.0.1418.22 and Runtime 107.0.1418.62 on Windows 10, focusing on whether WM_TOUCH messages reach the host. Compare the result with the attempted ofxWinTouchHook approach; done requires a confirmed cause, supported behavior, or documented workaround.
