WPF touch application for Windows 8

Question

I know it is possible to do a Touch Application for Windows 7 using the Surface SDK in Visual Studio 2010. I would like to do the same thing in a Windows 8 environment but Surface is unfortunately not supported.

I do not want to build a Metro Application but I need an executable with touch support that works in Win 8. Does anyone know if it possible to do a touch exe for windows 8?

Answer 1

You can use the SDK on a windows 8 machine. I'm using visual studio 2010 with the sdk on my machine. You'll need to install Xna to to make it work. And in xaml, change your windowtype from surfacewindow to window.
