A simple yes no question.

NTDEV

Hi,

Could someone here tell me Is it possible the windows 7 (desktop or
laptop) collects both multitouch and mouse data simultaneously from a KMDF
driver?

I post the question here couple times. I got some help. But no one
directly told me yes or no. The reason I want the answer is my boss think
it is possible. But I repeatedly read WDK white paper and tried, I could
not find a way to make this happen.

Thank you very much for help.

Dude… You’re boss is going to believe what some anonymous person tells you in a web forum? Seriously? If I tod you"no" would that be enough?

If you want a definitive answer from Microsoft open a case with WDK developer support. This is what they DO… They get answers for people to give to their boss and make product decisions.

Your too good a writer to make that mistake - so I’m going to surmise that you initially wrote “You’re going to believe …” and then went back and inserted boss.

Thanks… I blame auto-correct on the iPad. For just about everything.

Is there a plan to create an iPAD app for ntdev list? That would be cool.

In my experience *no*.

The OS will use the device mode feature to determine which device to read
from. Even if you have two completely separate physical touch screen
devices that report data at the same time it cant sensibly deal with both
updates to the pointers absolute position at the same time.

Yes, there is!

Here’s the plan: We’re waiting for somebody who knows how to write iPad apps to write to us and say “Hey, you guys sure are swell and do a lot of cool stuff for the community. Because of that, and because *I* want to contribute to the community too, I’ve written a terrific iPad apps that supports the NTDEV, NTFSD, and WinDbg lists. And I want everyone to have it FREE!”

So, that’s the plan. I’m not saying it’s a GOOD plan, but at the present time, it’s the only one I’ve got.
