Touch Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

In Windows Embedded Compact, you can provide support for stylus input by implementing touch screen functionality.

Windows Embedded Compact devices can rely on stylus input rather than mouse input so that they can be carried around by the user. Applications process stylus events as a click of the left mouse button.
