Can BlitzMax work with touch screen monitors? Does anyone have any experience with this or have an idea of a good solution? Thanks.

Not sure here. Do they base on the same technology as touch pads? if so I don't think there is a pre-existing support for that. if it is more like tablets, then there is a library by fredborg that should do the trick.

The touch panels that I've worked with emulate a mouse. When you touch the screen it will generate a left click at the location you touched. Works well with a B3D app that I wrote a while back.

@TeaVirus - Thanks for the response. Which touch panels have you used?

Actually don't see a problem. my notebook touch pad actually supports up to 3 fingers for its gesture stuff.

Here is the one that I'm currently using: http://www.digitalww.com/7TSK.htm I pretty much any touch panel to USB interface will probably work the same way (mouse emulation).
