How to use trackpad scrolling in .Net

My WinForms app uses the mouse wheel, subscribing to the Control.MouseWheel event. How can I get it to work with scrolling methods from other input devices, in particular "finger along the edge" scrolling on the (Synaptics) trackpad on my T61?

MacBook Trackpad Gestures: Move Windows like in Minority Report

With the MacBook Trackpad I can scroll documents by using two fingers or zoom into the screen with two fingers and Ctrl pressed. What could be very useful is to move the currently active window with a similar gesture (3 fingers, or 2 fingers + modifier key). Is there an existing tool, script that allows this behaviour?

Touchpad's absolute touch coordinates

Is it possible to read input directly from a Alps touchpad? I am trying to turn my touchpad into a cheap drawing tablet so I need to read the raw unprocessed x and y coordinates of where it was touched relative to the physical touchpad.

How to get pointing device's coordinate on mac trackpad?

Hi I'd like to get the finger's position when user makes a gesture on the trackpad. I've already hooked on to swipeWithEvent that triggers on swipe.

Overriding trackpad click

I have a ListActivity; and for each item in the ListView there is a checkbox. When you touch a list item, another Activity launches. When you use the trackpad/trackball to highlight (read: select) an item and click the trackpad, it essentially simulates touching the item. This causes my other Activity to launch. I would like clicking...
