Description

Which version of the app?

WinUI 3 Gallery

Description

Most devs do not have a touch screen, and it's kind of hard to test out and see the demos. Samples include:

  • SwipeControl
  • PullToRefresh

We can add a tool right beside those samples to simulate touch input, visualize it with a semi-transparent circle.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the SwipeControl and PullToRefresh samples in the WinUI 3 Gallery to understand how their demos are structured and where a companion tool could fit. Define the interaction and visualization behavior for simulated touch, including the semi-transparent circle, and consider the scope across the touch-oriented controls named in the issue.
