touchpad programming
in [Visual Basic]

From: Horst Heinrich Dittgens on 27 Apr 2010 07:42 Would like to adapt my shareware to these new touchpad handhelds (I hope I find one running Windows), but how can I develop for and simulate a touchpad device on a standard desktop PC in VB6? And, if possible, can this be done also under VISTA instead of Win7? Any hints appreciated. Thanks, HHD.

You either need to look to C (MFC I think) or .net to work on any of the modern Windows mobile devices. For Android, you will need Java, whereas Apple, needs Objective C.

Hmm, I thought that for a Windows based system I should only need something like a touchpad simulator driver. Even dot net libraries can be called by VB6 apps, I've read (but never tried). Am I wrong?

Probably simulated mouse clicks, or something. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org |
