A capture module is configured to provide input events of a particular type to an object of an application executing on a computer. The capture module receives an input event directed to the object of the application executing on the computer. The input event is generated responsive to a user interaction with an input device of the computer. If the input event is of the first type, the capture module translates the input event to a second type. The first type may be a touch input event and the second type may be a mouse input event. The capture module also selectively filters the input event of the second type and dispatches the input event of the second type to the object of the application responsive to the filtering.
