[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]

[MainWindow.xaml](https://aka.ms/dc/file?name=B5b2de958b07e4db584ab44e45f2ec491638682164542109995_MainWindow.xaml&tid=5b2de958b07e4db584ab44e45f2ec491638682164542109995)

We would like to seek a technical help on simulating the behavior of virtual touch pad in our application on windows 10.
Following are the details based on the analysis done so far.

**Problem Statement:**
- When touch operations are performed on a WPF application, the mouse cursor/pointer moves to the same location where first touch is done.
- Mouse cursor/pointer is not visible

**Expected output:**
- The mouse cursor/pointer should move on desktop when user performs touch and drag operation on an application
- We don’t want mouse cursor/pointer to move its position when touch operation is performed

**Sample application details:**
- Application type : WPF app
- Canvas is added on window to capture touch events.
- Dot Net Framework : 4.8
Note: The sample XAML and Code behind is attached to this message

**Analysis done so far:**
The following option were tried, but we couldn’t get the mouse cursor separated from touch operations:

1. Using hooks to filter the low-level mouse events
[- API name: SetWindowsHookEx]()
a. The hook is applied to capture the Low-level mouse input events using Hook procedure for WH_MOUSE_LL = 14;
- In call back function check as below:
a. If touch is active and if mouse event is received then filter out the mouse events
`private static IntPtr MouseHookCallback(int nCode, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)`
2. Mouse cursor/pointer movement
- It is observed that when touch is performed the cursor/pointers is not visible
- We tried to set the visibility with Native Win32 API; s but couldn't get the cursor visible

**Query:**
We would like to seek help to get the mouse cursor/pointer movement and visibility on screen and controlled by touch operations from custom application in WPF
