What devices are available to test WM_GESTURE and WM_TOUCH code on a desktop machine?

I'm writing some code to handle WM_GESTURE and WM_TOUCH events in Windows 7, but I can't figure out how to test it. I do my development in Boot Camp on a 17" Mac Book Pro.

So far, I have determined that the Boot Camp trackpad driver in Windows 7 does not generate those events, and this generic trackpad I found on Amazon.com that claims to be 'multi-touch' works as advertised, but not by creating WM_GESTURE or WM_TOUCH events. I verified this by using Spy++ to report the events; nothing with the WM_GESTURE or WM_TOUCH value was reported.

What kind of hardware is supposed to generate these kinds of events? At this point, I'm assuming it's only for tablet or mobile (Windows CE) hardware, but I'd appreciate any other suggestions.

I suppose there's another way 开发者_Go百科to approach this -- I want to get functionality similar to Cocoa's [NSResponder swipeWithGesture:] and related methods, which report back swipes, rotation, and other gestures on the trackpad. WM_GESTURE appears to be the equivalent on Windows 7.


An other option, which would require only another physical mouse device to work with, and should get you at least 95% of the way there is the Multi-Touch Vista project, which can emulate up to 256 touch points using physical devices - thus the need for an extra mouse, or two since it can be awkward to simultaneously work with a mouse in one hand and trackpad with another.


There are several monitors out there supporting touch with Windows 7. For example: Acer T230H.

Wacom makes several touchpads that support multitouch; a particularly inexpensive version is the Bamboo Touch. This gives you touch without having to buy another monitor - although it doesn't give that direct interaction feeling.
