IDirectManipulationCompositor2 Represents a compositor object that associates manipulated content with drawing surfaces across multiple processes.
IDirectManipulationContent Encapsulates content inside a viewport, where content represents a visual surface clipped inside the viewport.
IDirectManipulationDeferContactService Represents a service for managing associations between a contact and a viewport.
IDirectManipulationDragDropBehavior Represents behaviors for drag and drop interactions, which are triggered by cross-slide or press-and-hold gestures.
IDirectManipulationDragDropEventHandler Defines methods to handle drag-drop behavior events.
IDirectManipulationFrameInfoProvider Represents a time-keeping object that measures the latency of the composition infrastructure used by the application and provides this data to Direct Manipulation.
