Has anyone experience with connecting multiple Touchscreens on one windows 11 system and one instance of TD? I’m very curious how the multiTouchInDAT would react to this:
will it differentiate between different windows, so it would give the correct monitor index in the 15th column? So it would eventually give 20 rows of data (2 * 10 fingers).
or do I have to set it up like an extended desktop, one containerCOMP with double width (so the width of two screens next to eachother) and two containerCOMPs as childs, filled, set to align left to right. And then inside every child container, put in a multiTouchInDAT and let it reference to the parent()?
Another thing that I eventually solved but could help someone else. I’ve had an issue where windows kept showing a square indicator on a connected Touchscreen. I know there are several settings in windows that you need to tweak. But I eventually had to run a REG file to get rid of it: Turn On or Off Touch Indicator in Windows 11 | Windows 11 Forum
I only have one touchscreen so I can’t test this, but the touches only register on one window at a time so you need to extend the window to get it working across 2 touch screens.
Which will not work either as once a screen “grabs” the context of the windowComp for TouchScreen input it will not allow other screen to also send touchEvents.
For this reason we actually had to run seperate windows in non-exclusive mode (having them 1 pixel smaller then target screen) to allow for multi-screen-same-time-touchinteraction on a project.
Being able to seemles transition between screens is simply not possible afaik.
What I did though was to collect all touchEvents, remodel the IDs a little bit and feed them in to a unified RenderPickDAT,
I ran a test with setting the projectContainer to twice the width of a screen. Inside two child containerCOMPs with both one multiTouchInDat. I simulated on one screen with ZigSim input and the other with the mouse (picked up from the multiTouchInDat. This seems to work simultaneously.
I’ll have access to multiple touchscreens later. I’ll keep you posted.
