Is it possible to emulate a second finger for the Windows Phone 7 emulator?

Question

It's a bit annoying having to deploy to a device everytime to test multitouch functionality so I was just wondering if it's possible to fake the second finger. Obviously plugging in two mouse's doesn't help...

Answer 1

There's no out of the box support for this at the moment, but there are some options you can look into for this.

In addition to the links from Mick N, you may also want to have a look at the MultiTouch Behavior for Windows Phone 7. As this includes support for simulating multiple touches with the emulator and a single mouse while testing.
