Remarks

The input staging area processes raw input into WPF events. Canceling the PreProcessInput event will remove the input event from the staging area. The PostProcessInput event exposes the staging area as a stack and enables items to be popped off or pushed on to the top of the staging area. A filter is any code routine that listens for the PreProcessInput event or the PostProcessInput event. A monitor is any code routine that listens for the PreNotifyInput event or the PostNotifyInput event. Note that filters can modify the input staging area, whereas monitors cannot.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
