  1. Some touchscreen tips from Gadroc's original website. Note: The information is a little dated, but much still applies and you can adapt his instructions to your current operating system. Touch Screen Setup Submitted by Gadroc on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 18:38 Windows 7 has great built in support for touch screens, but not all of the default options work well with Helios. It is highly recommended that you follow these instructions to property setup your touch screens for Helios. Note: Not all monitors are recognized as touch screens by Windows. If your touch screens do not respond to these settings, but still work to move your mouse around you need to follow the manufacturer’s directions for setting up and calibrating your touch screen.. In particular TouchKit based controls do not require these steps. Associate Touch Screen with Monitor Windows needs to understand which monitor is your touch screen. If your mouse moves on another screen when you click on your touch screen you need to execute this step. From the start menu select “Control Panel” then open the “Tablet PC Settings” control panel. Click on the Setup button and follow the instructions on screen. Take special note to press enter without tapping your touchscreen when the message is displayed on normal monitors. Disable Input Panel Tab Windows 7 has features to help you use your touch screen as a primary input device. Unfortunately these can get in the way and cause problems when using Helios to play a game. We can disable this input panel tab to prevent it from showing up when we don’t want it. While you have the “Table PC Settings” window open, click on the tab labeled “Other” and then click on “Go to Input Panel Settings”. Now uncheck the “Use the Input Panel tab” option and click the Ok button. Disable Auto Right Click By default Windows right clicks when you touch and hold on a touch screen. This is great for interacting with Windows explorer or other regular applications, but causes problems when you are trying to hold down a lamp test or MFD button. Luckily we can change this behavior as well. From the start menu select “Control Panel” then open the “Pen and Touch” control panel. On the Pen Options tab click on the Press and Hold pen action and then click on the “Settings” button. Uncheck “Enable press and hold for right-clicking” then click the OK button. Switch to the Flicks tab and uncheck the “Use flicks to perform common actions quickly and easily”. You can also uncheck “Display flicks icon in the notification area” if you want. Next, switch to the Touch tab. Click on the Press and hold touch action and then click on the “Settings” button. Uncheck “Enable press and hold for right-clicking” and then click the OK button. Now close the Pen and Touch control panel by clicking the OK button.
