When all the mice are connected, we can start the driver. We open two command
lines and in the irst one, we run
Multitouch.Service.Console.exe
from
the
MultiTouchVista
package. In the second console window, we run
Multitouch.Driver.Console.exe
without closing the MultiTouch.Server.
Console window. Quit both of these applications to return to the normal non-multi-
touch Windows environment.
How it works...
To check whether the driver and the service work as expected, we can try the standard
Microsoft Paint application and use two or more mice simultaneously to draw something.

driver, or if we happen to have a

and handle the
WM_TOUCH
messages.

The irst recipe contains all the relevant information about multi-touch handling. In this recipe,
