I have a game developed for Windows 7 in XNA which uses the Mouse Event only! There are buttons around the screen that the user plays with.

Will this same game work with Windows 7 Touch screens with a single touch? I do not need any multi-touch functionality.

If not, how do I get the touch event in XNA on a Windows 7 PC?

  • As far as I know, a touch device sends clicks like a touchpad for a laptop does. I'm pretty sure that tapping the screen will count as a click. – annonymously Sep 11 '12 at 22:55
  • It looks like the answer is "yes" - but I'd like to see someone who can actually confirm it give the answer.

Touchscreens do send mouse events.

Though they might send mousestates pressed/released/moved a little bit differently depending on the model. For example the original single touch eeetop sometimes never sent a pressed state(got moved instead even if you just clicked), while the later multitouch versions worked as expected.
