[This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.]

Occurs when pointer capture previously held by this element moves to another element or elsewhere.

Syntax

public event PointerEventHandler PointerCaptureLost

<uiElement PointerCaptureLost="eventhandler"/>

Event information

Remarks

Note  PointerCaptureLost 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 PointerCaptureLost. A pointer can lose capture either because of user interactions or because you programmatically captured another pointer or released the current pointer capture deliberately.

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.
