Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2007 6:13 pm Post subject: Using Laptop Touchpad Data Directly (COM or DLL?) |
|
|
I was looking at videos of multitouch displays and the cool intuitive things they can do, like zooming in by putting fingers close together and spreading them apart, etc. And i realised that on my laptop touch pad, if i tap it clicks, and with two fingers it right clicks, three fingers it middle clicks, so it must be able to receive multiple finger input.
If there was a way to access that, i could make multitouch functionality for laptops.
So here's where you guys come in. Does anyone good at DLL calls or whatever know how to get at that touchpad data through autohotkey?
Here are some vids that give you an idea of what it could be capable of

Its not multi touch
Its reacting to the width of the tap
Try using the hlat of your index finger

It isn't, because if i do this;
_______________
| [x] |
| |
| |
| [x] |
|______________|
it gives the 2 finger response, and this;
_______________
| [x] |
| [x] |
| |
| [x] |
|______________|
gives the 3 finger response. It may not be multitouch but it's not the width of the touch either. |

ok the ascii art didn't work because it doesn't recognise multiple spaces for some reason.
The point is, with the end fingers the same width apart, it is different if there's one in the middle or not. |
