Windows Touch Handling

[Cromage]

Hello,

I have reached a roadblock in development--the touch screen for Windows 8 does not send the appropriate "mouseDown" or "touchStart" messages to an object when you tap and hold the object. It almost seems like touching and holding a button sends no messages at all. (as a note, touching and dragging does trigger a mouseDown message, but that won't be enough to simulate a touch and hold) Is there any way of seeing what messages it sends or working around this limitation?

I have tried disabling the "Tap and hold -> right-click" behavior through the Windows Control Panel, but it still doesn't send the mouseDown message.
