Using Multi-point Touch

The Emulator lets you create a multi-point touch effect by pressing and holding the CTRL key while mouse-clicking on the Emulator screen.

Adding a Touch Point

To add a touch point on the Emulator screen, press and hold the CTRL key and mouse-click at a point on the screen.

You can add touch points up to the maximum multi-point touch count. To get the maximum multi-point touch count, use the System::SystemInfo::GetValue() method with the MultiPointTouchCount key.

Ending the Multi-point Touch

To end the multi-point touch, release the CTRL key. The touched points on the Emulator screen are invalidated, and the next screen touch event is read as a new event, not part of the previous multi-point touch event.
