Hi,
I have a problem with IR touch screen. It is configured as a standard styllus pen (NOT as a mouse), and TouchDesigner is not responding to clicks. After touch clicking, its only updating cursor position (hilight is working) but not making any “clicks”.
I have Windows 7 and FTE experimental version of Touch Designer
Are you talking about the user interface, or trying to get the styllus input into CHOPs? If the latter, try the Tablet CHOP.
However, if your touchscreen can be configured to send Windows7 Multi-touch events, you can use the Multi Touch In DAT to capture all the events.
I need to know more about your touch screen/styllus setup to help.
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Im using LG 42 M4214T now, but i’ve tested this case multiple “IR touch screens” (working natively on Win7), and it seems all have the same problem. After touch mouse cursor position is updated, but TD don’t have any information about click. And i am talking also about the TD GUI. Hilight of ui elements is working, but i cannot “click” on anything:
Here is some video i’ve made:

The TouchDesigner interface is not multi-touch enabled at this time.
You can capture multitouch events through the Mutli-Touch In DAT however. There is an example of that in this forum post: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2355&p=11350&hilit=Multi+Touch#p11350
Mutli-touch in 077 is still in its experimental stages, we are working on easier integration and support for panels in 088, with much less scripting required.
Ben,
Gabriel is writing about our problem.
We build an application with is using touch screens. We test it already with touch monitors and in most cases all is working perfect. But it’s not working with IR frames (IR touch screens)
Like Gabriel wrote, Chop mouse node is showing position of cursor, and highlighting is working, but no left click. Multi Touch In DAT is showing 0, nothing…
So… we don’t have any idea where we have to look for solution.
Thanks,
Raf,
Ok I understand now, it is just the click you are trying to capture that is not working.
If there any configuration control panel for the IR Touchscreen? If it works like a normal mouse elsewhere in Windows we would expect it to work with left clicks.
One thing you can try that might help debug the problem is to create a Container COMP and then point a Panel CHOP to it. Then open the window/viewer for the Container COMP and try to interact with the panel using the IR Touchscreen. Do you see any panel values changing? It possible there is a mapping issue that is mapping finger events to something other than left-click mouse events.
Thanks, Ben. It’s good idea to check different events. Currently we test another solution with custom drivers and it’s works fine. If we will have possibility to test different events on “problematic” IR frame i will report here.
Raf,
