Is there a way we can stop laptop touchpad/trackpad 3 finger gestures in WinForms application? Basically, I want to stop/lock user from using touchpad 3 or 4 finger gestures to open new desktop while using a windows application in full screen mode.

1.) Tried to capture windows message while using laptop touchpad but no luck.

2.) From c# code behind tried to update the registry but 3 finger swipe up does show the new desktop and other applications.

    Gestures are usually handled by the trackpad driver. System opens new desktop, no matter what the source of the command. – Agent_L Oct 25 '22 at 11:47

    Would [this](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wintouch/getting-started-with-multi-touch-gestures) source be of any help? – cs1349459 Oct 25 '22 at 15:43
  • @cs1349459 that could be useful, we'll just have to try it to see if you can prevent a 3 finger gesture using it to know. ANy c++ devs who could post a solution using this link? – Neville Katila Oct 25 '22 at 18:20
