Hello all,
I started a new app for Win32 on Corona but seems like the multitouch events are not detected…
Thinking that was my code, I downloaded the example here: coronasdk
But even when is working perfectly on my Android device or iPhone device, is not working on my Lenovo Helix (suppose to have 10-point multitouch).
I’m doing something wrong? It’s my first time doing multitouch and win32…
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Corona does not support multitouch on the desktop.
Corona *simulates* touch events via left-click drags from the mouse to make touch enabled apps cross-platform.
This also means that Corona does not support touchscreens on Windows other than the mouse events it generates which we use to simulate one finger touch events.
Does this answer your question?
Thanks sir for your reply!
Ohhh and it’s something that will be supported on the future?
I think CoronaSDK is really a good tool for developing and I think I’m not the only one one that “need” that feature. Using Corona for developing Apps for desktop is a very interesting feature and now that there are a lot of different “tablets” or “hybrids” with touch screens we should take advantage of that (it’s also working for Android/iOS).
Hope it can be implemented soon.
In my case, that is for a business, I will need to move to another platform unfortunately making my development slower 
Anyway, thanks for your quick and honest reply.
Multitouch support is something that is very rarely requested on Windows.
Especially since most Windows users don’t have a touchscreen. Just a normal laptop or desktop PC. Although I think the newest Microsoft Surfaces are really nice.
Out of curiosity, what do you plan on using multitouch for?
Hello sir,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Honestly I’m trying to have a Windows App for touch screens, able to show maps (seismic images) that needs to be able to be zoom in and zoom out (they requested me to be fancy like “minority report”! because is for expositions).
It will run in a Windows 7/8/10 computer with a touch screen and that is the reason for using the new features.
Anyway, I think is really interesting to have that feature because I think is a technology everyday more present.
In my case is business but can be for doing applications for kids/educational,…
Hope this can be implemented
