Developing for Windows Multi touch - ala the Dell Studio One 19


I came across the Dell Studio One 19 on the web the other day, and wondered what the Dev environment for the Multi-Touch was?

Anyone out there developing for this, or know what the environment is?

I know that to develop for the HP TouchSmart you need HP's own SDK....and it doesn't sound too good to me (check out this .NET Rocks episode on it)

I was hoping the new Dell is just using Windows 7 native touch support....

Ideally I'd like to see a subset of the Microsoft Surface SDK brought to touch-enabled screens running Win 7....

anyone got insight into whats happening with Multi-Touch on Win 7 from a development perspective?


Solution

  • Funny you should ask this I am just starting with this stuff this week.

    I have the Dell XT2 with Windows 7 64bit (runs like a dream).

    What you need to have...

    The Windows 7 RC SDK
    and you also must have the
    NTrig device drivers

    What's nice to have is the NTrig SDK

    There have been some changes between the Windows 7 Beta and the RC, and the samples haven't been updated yet, but its reasonably simple to work out. Have fun, I am.
