Occurs when a pointer that made contact abnormally loses contact.

Syntax

public event PointerEventHandler PointerCanceled

<uiElement PointerCanceled="eventhandler"/>

Event information

Remarks

Note  PointerCanceled might fire instead of PointerReleased. Don't rely on PointerPressed and PointerReleased events always occurring in pairs. To function properly, your app must listen for and handle all events that represent likely conclusions to the Press action, and that includes PointerCanceled. Some of the reasons why you might get a PointerCanceled occurrence are:

• User actions that change the relationship of the display area, such as changing resolution or monitor settings
• Input interactions such as a stylus touching the same surface as a previous touch action

This event is a routed event. For more info on the routed event concept, see Events and routed events overview.

This event also supports the ability to attach event handlers to the route that will be invoked even if the event data for the event is marked Handled. See AddHandler.
