Get current Gaze PointerState

[niels9001]

Current behavior

There doesn't seem to be a way to get the current PointerState from code behind. We only have the StateChanged event that will give back the PointerState.

Expected behavior

The Tobii WPF SDK provides a GetHasGaze() function that tells you if the UI element has Gaze or not. In our case, the PointerState would be nice value to get returned.

This would allow for conditional functionality such as enabling certain things if the user's gaze is on a specific UI element.

E.g.

private void NormalButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (GazeButton.PointerState == PointerState.Enter)
{
// DO SOMETHING
}
}
