Why Button does not receive Pointer* events ?

[sigmarsson]

<Button x:Name="LegendButton" Background="DarkMagenta" 
            PointerPressed="OnPointerPressed" 
            PointerReleased="OnPointerReleased" 
            PointerMoved="OnPointerMove" 
            PointerCanceled="OnPointerReleased">
        <Button.TranslationTransition>
            <Vector3Transition>
            </Vector3Transition>
        </Button.TranslationTransition>
</Button>

In my testing pointer events like PointerMoved or PointerExited work as expected and get raised. Events that handle "activation" are generally not available since you should use the Click event as pointed out by the documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-app-sdk/api/winrt/microsoft.ui.xaml.controls.button?view=windows-app-sdk-1.1&WT.mc_id=WDIT-MVP-5004239#button-interaction
