Programmatically enable multitouch support?

I am running windows7 on my laptop, and all is well, but I am jealous of the multitouch on macs. I don't really know how all of this "works", but i'm imagining that it couldn't be that hard to write a program to patch into windows that allows this.

Currently, if I put two fingers on the pad and drag around, it sortv half-heartedly tries to follow both. Or something. It's pitiful. After extended experimentation, I don't think it can really track both points at once. But perhaps I could detect the fumbling that occurs when I put my second finger down mathematically, and then "release" tracking on one of them.

Basically, I'm not trying for true multitouch (like stretching image开发者_如何学Pythons), but I feel like I ought to be able to get something together that detects a double press as a right click. That's a step in the right direction.

What would I need to write that in? How would I install it?

If you're going to say it's impossible, then ignore that and take it from another direction. What if I wanted to enable a triple tap as a right click? (please no pre-built 3rd party solutions, I want to write this myself) That's certainly got to be possible.

How do I tap in to the resources I need?

This might be a hardware and or driver limitation. Not all touch surfaces (like trackpads) support multitouch. You might want to check out Raw Input on msdn which supports alternative input methods.

Edit:

Note that the Raw Input API only provides access to multitouch if its supported by your hardware.

This is not possible, this is discussed on the www.insanelymac.com forum, where people create hackintosh pcs (basically pcs running mac osx). Several attempts have been made, but DUE to the construction and METHOD with which MANY touchpads collect sensory data it is impossible. Best of luck...
