Processing and WM_TOUCH (Windows 7 multi-touch)
Jul 10th, 2009, 2:24pm  
Are there plans for Processing to support the built in touch messages in Windows 7?

I'm not a windows developer (and I'm new to Java/Processing), but I read in the MSDN that W7 will hand direct touch data to applications with the WM_TOUCH message.

This is obviously an interesting thing for Processing to support as Processing is cross-platform and this is specific to windows.  Even if the Processing team doesn't decide to use WM_TOUCH, could anyone tell me if it's possible to grab the WM_TOUCH messages in my own sketches?

I have been using Processing for interactive touchscreen VJ performance and will be super cool if it can support multi-touch!!

Im working on a java multi-touch framework that supports windows 7 native multi-touch events. If I find the time and there is enough demand I might consider making a processing library out of it.

I totally understand the time restriction, but I'm still really interested in that library.

Here's to hoping you have lots of free time! :)
