I have a touch screen computer with Windows 7 and I would like to disable the multi-touch gesture :
But even if I disable it and apply the changes, when I reopen the window, the option is enabled again...
Any idea where I can disable it for good ? (maybe in the registry...)
Up: still have the problem.
Part 1: How to Enable Multi-touch Feature in Windows 7Navigate to “Hardware and Sound” then proceed by clicking “Pen and Touch”. Step 2: Click the “Touch” tab. It is the second tab from the right. Step 3: Check the “Enable multi-touch gestures and inking” checkbox.
The good news is that the Windows 7 Multitouch Platform provides a free out-of-the-box experience for applications that are touch-unaware and were not designed to support multitouch.
To prevent multi touch you should turn off splitMotionEvents or windowEnableSplitTouch attribute inside ViewGroup were buttons are located.
Navigate to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Edge UI in the left hand side column. Double click/tap on the Allow edge swipe policy in the right hand side column to edit it. Mark the check box next to Disabled and click Apply and OK.
