Hello, I recently had the use of an HP TouchSmart 610 pc which has a 23" multitouch screen.

AGK reported that it wasn't multitouch at all. But more worryingly, AppGameKit refused to register a touch event from the screen. What appears to happen, is that touching the screen didn't trigger a click event, it only moves the cursor to that location. You have to touch and move a little bit to register as a click.

The screen "touch" emulates the mouse, that's why agk is not registering a touch device

But the issue is a touch isn't emulating a mouse click, only a mouse move.

I have seen this when I worked on a PC based touch application earlier this year, and has a few root causes about how Windows emulates the touch input. Post this as a bug in the issues board at: http://code.google.com/p/agk/issues/list

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.
