This language reference section contains descriptions of programming elements for touch events, gestures, and gesture animations.

The touch APIs are divided into two sections, the Gesture APIs which manage touch input, and the Gesture Physics Engine APIs which control how the display area reacts to user touch.

Touch functions, messages, and structures are shared with the mouse, since applications process stylus events as a click of the left mouse button. For additional Touch reference information, see Mouse Reference.
