Maximum number of pointers?

Question

Each Pointer is identified with a [PointerPoint.PointerId][1] . Is there a maximum number of pointers supported by WinRT or is this hugely device dependent?

Answer 1

It is device dependant. There are readily available monitors with 30 simultaneous contact points.

You can query the number of points on a specific device from the PointerDevice.MaxContacts property. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.devices.input.pointerdevice.maxcontacts.aspx
