title: Disable mouse promotion
body: <p>Is there any way to disable mouse promotion from code, that is preventing windows to interpret touch events as mouse events?</p>
  
  <p>I capture touch events in my WPF application, and I don't want these interactions to effect mouse pointer visibility and position.</p>
  
  <p>There is a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.input.touchframeeventargs.suspendmousepromotionuntiltouchup%28v=vs.95%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">TouchFrameEventArgs.SuspendMousePromotionUntilTouchUp Method</a> that seems to be doing exactly that. Unfortunately it's available only for Silverlight and Windows Phone.</p>
  
  <p>In addition there are some system settings you can use to disable double click and right click promotion, but nothing to disable mouse promotion as a whole.</p>
  
  <p>A Windows 8 specific solution or a low level solution would also help.</p>
