Get Touch Events from Windows for Tablet or Collaboration Display

Question

I would like to get global touch events from the operating system similar to the way you get system info using GetSystemInfo from 'kernel32'dll. I am developing a console app that detects the when the screen of the device is touched like a tablet pc or Collaboration Display.

Answer 1

So if the user touches the screen, it gets notified and increments a counter.

GetLastInputInfo can be used for touch interaction.

Note: This function will also work for mouse input and keyboard input. But considering that it is a touch screen device, users are more inclined to touch interaction.
