Description

We are trying to implement a two-finger tap gesture for showing the context menu. The context menu appears in touch and hold by default in touch monitors. In order to create customized actions, how can we recognize and track multiple touch points? Or is there an event that can be used to identify multiple finger touches?
Any assistance is much valued.
Thank you.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the WinUI 3 touch and gesture event documentation for Windows App SDK 1.5, then determine whether multi-touch tracking is exposed. Done would require a clearly scoped framework change or a documented supported event/API.
