System gestures give information about the IInkCursor object that is being used to create the gesture. They also provide shortcuts to combinations of mouse events and are ways to detect mouse events with less impact on performance.
For example, instead of looking for a MouseUp Event [InkPicture Control]/MouseDown Event [InkPicture Control] pair of events with no other mouse events occurring in between, you can look for the Tap or RightTap system gestures.
As another example, instead of listening for MouseDown Event [InkPicture Control]/MouseMove Event [InkPicture Control] events and getting numerous MouseMove Event [InkPicture Control] messages, you can watch for the Drag or RightDrag system gestures as long as you're not interested in the (x, y) coordinates of every position of the mouse. This allows you to receive only one message instead of numerous MouseMove Event [InkPicture Control] messages.
For a list of specific system gestures, see the InkSystemGesture enumeration type. For more information about system gestures, see Using Gestures and Command Input on the Tablet PC.
This event method is defined in the _IInkCollectorEvents, _IInkOverlayEvents, and _IInkPictureEvents dispatch-only interfaces (dispinterfaces) with an ID of DISPID_ICESystemGesture.
