MS Access Forum / Forms / December 2007Touch Screen Capabilities
Does MS Access have touch screen capabilities It's not Access that needs the touch screen capabilities, it's the combination of the hardware and the operating system. If your workstation has touch screen capabilities, Access can use it.

TabletPCs use a pressure sensitive magnetic stylus. They are not touch screens, although 1 or 2 may have that capability. The screen on a TabletPC is closer to a Graphics pad similar to a Wacom. SignatureArvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com good point. I guess I'm just so used to the stylus on our tablets, that I forget I have to use the stylus. >> Tablet PCs have this ability. > > Not exactly. TabletPCs use a pressure sensitive magnetic stylus.

I am interested in developing a MS Access >appplication with this technology The Operating system will have to be one that will run your software (your version of MS Access). The hardware will have to be able to run the Operating system. You are in luck. There are Touch Screens that support Windows. There are several types. The basics: A touch sreen is basically an input device that appears like a "mouse". The Operating system sends this data to the running application. In your case, Access does not know or care what type of device sent the "mouse" data, it just uses this information (mouse or touch screen). SignatureBoyd Trimmell aka HiTechCoach http://www.hitechcoach.com http://www.officeprogramming.com A touch screen works like a mouse input, so the mouse events (click, double-click, etc.) work the same in Access for a mouse or touch screen. You can buy monitors with built in touch screens, or retro-fit the membrane over an existing screen. There are literally dozens of manufacturers and suppliers. Just type "Touch Screen" in a Google search.

There are serial and USB connectors. All you need is the monitor of choice and the drivers for that monitor. Connect to any computer that accommodates the cabling. > A touch screen works like a mouse input, so the mouse events (click, > double-click, etc.) work the same in Access for a mouse or touch screen.
