TouchPad in Raphael as Mouse-Control?

[beowulf6]

Hi everyone.

I have my new Touch Pro and i saw it have a "full" TouchPad under the Screen.

My question is, might it be possible to display a Mouse-courser and control it with this TouchPad?

I dont know if this is usefull.

Badly i never coded for Windows Mobile, so is someone thinking this would be a nice application and want to code something like this?

Maybe if i get this damn Microsoft Visual Express Edition running, i will try something myself.

It's a good idea, the touchpad is even multi-touch capable...

hate it on i900...

could be more interesting on touch pro/diamond, since the surface is larger

Hi everyone Im using remote touch for this. take a look at that freeware on this site here. as it is a beta there is no further guide on how to use this tool. anyway figure it out for yourself. it works for me, not always but it does most of the time.


have fun

hm.

maybe you did not understand me or i dont know if remote touch can control a mouse on your PocketPC and not on your Desktop PC.

best look at the movie in my first post to get a impression how i was thinking for a use of this touchPad.

Yes, like Samsung-i900 (Omnia). It's possible?

i think it is possible (but i am really new in WinCE developing).

I have finaly succesfully installed an IDE on my Work-PC.
And i think i also found somethink to move the "mouse".

Now i only need to install the IDE on my Home PC, loading DLLs into the program and i need to look into the SDK for the TouchPad. (Badly i have read that it has only one event that reads the rotations? this would be bad.)


Of course it would be faster if someone that is a lot more experienced in WinCE developing would try it.

Hello, I was the first one to come up with this idea. Check it out here:

Is it possible to make the area around the Dpad as touch buttons (touching the up button = pressing the up button, etc)? Since the Dpad is hard to press, it makes some games kinda unplayable...
