Public summary

A Canvas without a Paint handler does not receive mouse events because its blank surface is absent from native hit testing. A transparent Canvas is documented to remain interactive throughout its bounds, so MouseDown, MouseUp, MouseMove, MouseEnter, MouseExit, MouseWheel, Pressed, DoublePressed, and drag/drop interactions should work even when no pixels are drawn.
