Question

Hi,

I am using WPF 3.5 on Vista Machine. Can someone please let me know how to implement touch screen functionality on this. A demo example will be really helpful.

Thanks, Sachin

Answer 1

You also need hardware that supports touch. This podcast is a good introduction to the technology from a .net perspective:

Answer 2

Touchscreen is like a mouse in all respects, except it can "teleport" the mouse pointer all over the place. Also, you can't have mouse hover effects with a touchscreen because it's impossible to move the cursor without clicking or dragging.

Answer 3

Thanks for your responses. What I am looking for is that I have a WPF application (where there are buttons, images and other controls). I want to implement rotation, scaling etc on those controls. Here user can increase the height/width of a control or rotate a control by touching on the screen.

Thanks, Sachin
