Pinch on windows phone 7 emulator using machine without multitouch support. Can it be done?

Question

I'm playing around with wp7 using the emulator. I'd like to play with multitouch on the emulator, but my machine doesn't have multi touch support (it's just a standard mouse/keyboard setup).

Is their any way to do this?

I know that double clicking zooms/unzooms, but I'm looking for pinch-specific interaction.

Answer 1

Try mouse with Alt, Control or Shift pressed. That's how you do pinch on the iPhone emulator.

Answer 2

From what I've gathered, I don't think this can be done without multitouch hardware support on the development machine. I hope this will change when the final version is released (but it seems kind of late in the game for such a change)

If this is wrong, please let me know.

Answer 3

If you're using Windows7 and have two mice you could try http://multitouchvista.codeplex.com/

Answer 5

As mentioned in the answer to this question, you could always emulate multitouch until you have an actual phone to test on.
