Remarks

Important

The APIs in this namespace require the inputInjectionBrokered restricted capability.

Using input injection requires the following be added to the Package.appxmanifest:

  • To <Package>
    • xmlns:rescap="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/foundation/windows10/restrictedcapabilities"
    • IgnorableNamespaces="rescap"
  • To <Capabilities>
    • <rescap:Capability Name="inputInjectionBrokered" />
