WPF multi-touch Development: Windows 7 Installation Multi-touch screen simulator

This series will introduce the content of Multi-Touch (MT) multi-touch technology to give developers an idea of how to develop applications with MT capabilities in the Windows platform. It is well known that the Windows 7 operating system itself has supported the MT feature of hardware devices, the artboard program (Paint) is a good example, if your display device has the MT function, you can use two fingers at the same time drawing different patterns in the artboard.

　　　　

As a developer of the Mt application testing, of course, the use of MT Hardware Device support, otherwise we can not determine whether the program can function correctly. Although there are already a lot of MT equipment in the market, but the price is also very expensive. If there is no multi-touch device can be the development and testing of MT program? The answer, of course, is yes, and the following will describe how to simulate multitouch with multiple mice.
