Re: Touch Screen I/O

The only answer to this is the Forth answer. Try it and see. Have you asked the manufacturer to offer evaluation hardware? They are frequently willing to send out a blem or bench unit in order to sell real ones.
If not, consider another vendor. If the manufacturer claims that it's just like a mouse, I would think you could return the thing if it doesn't live up to the claims.

This sounds interesting. Tell us more, please.
I'm assuming that you're making an embedded Windows thingy. Are you using Windows CE or some other variant?
Do you want to come to SVFIG and talk about it?
Maybe we can tape it to put up on our gracious host's website.

(Thingy was in the spelling cheakir)

Subject: [sftalk] Touch Screen I/O

I have a project that requires a touch screen interface. As I =
understand it, the touch screen output is typically serial or USB and =
most manufacturers provide a Windows driver for their product. I have =
been told that, after intsallation, the touch screen can be used with =
existing applications, just as you would use a mouse.

Of course, I will be writing a custom SF application. I assume that I =
can just design the application as if I am using a mouse interface and =
it will work fine after the touch screen drivers are installed. I have =
not yet purchased any hardware, so I can't gin up a test program and try =
it.

Has anyone had any experience in this area?
