 *    capture pointer events from anywhere in the screen. For example, a view 
 *    that wants to know if user tapped anywhere on the screen could use this. 
 *  - Derived: client can use the forward-pointer-events-to-gesture-helper
 *    functionality by deriving from CGestureControl. Client has to create at 
 *    least one visual that captures pointer events. This base class will 
 *    receive the events and forward them to CGestureHelper.
 * 
 * The client can keep other widgets on top of this control, to allow them
 * priority of capturing the pointer events.
