Multiple touch screen
March 10, 2020 09:07PM
Hello,

I am wondering if monkeylogic can recognize more than one touch screen and receive touch input from them. At the same time we have another two control monitors. So there're at least 4 monitors in total. Do you think Monkeylogic can do it?

If you can touch them on Windows, you can touch them in NIMH ML. Check on "Forced use of fallback screen" and type the Windows coordinates that cover two screens, like [LEFT, TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM], in "Fallback screen rect.". Refer to the figure in the following link.

Thank you very much Jaewon! I don't have the second touch screen yet but it will arrive soon (So now I have two normal monitors and one touch monitor). I did try your way by expanding the subject area into two times of the size of touch screen and the touch information from one screen could only cover haft of the "subject area" (here I mean the area shows to subject(s)). It probably means that the touch information from the second monitor will cover another haft of the "subject area". Correct me if I am wrong, does it mean if I select the "Forced use fallback screen", then the "subject area" is no longer defined by "Subject screen device" ?

Yes. If you check on "Forced use of fallback screen", the subject screen is replaced with a window created as you specified in "Fallback screen rect."
