EdgeGesture touch location

Question

I have a horizontally oriented app with three main windows side-by-side with a scrollviewer to move from one window to the other.  Each window has its own drop-down panel in which a right-button click will bring down that window's panel from the top edge of the screen.  

But when moving to touch, I need to use edgegesture to bring down the panel.  The problem is that I can't find a way to determine which window the edgegesture occurred in.  Is there a way to find the location of the edgegesture or is there a better way to open the panel in touch mode?

Not directly. Edge gestures trigger for the whole edge, not partial.

You could try combining the EdgeGesture with pointer message handling to see where the user touched.

OK, I was able to get this to work using EdgeGestures and Pointer events.  EdgeGesture (touch) results in the following sequence: GestureStarting, GestureCompleted, PointerMoved.  I set a global flag in GestureCompleted and checked the flag in whichever window's PointerMoved was called.  It works but it's kind of a hack.
