'Full windows' is exactly the reason the ecosystem is terrible. The uniqueness of the Surface hardware is not matched by the software. Thus, besides a few brand-name apps, most ignore touch capability and code for regular Windows to reach a broader audience. Its a perfectly rational response to Microsoft setting the wrong context for an otherwise fine product.
- 72deluxe 11y agoVery interesting. Does the windows API have dedicated touch events? I listen for mouse down, mouse up, mouse motion (or use a timer and poll the mouse location is a button is down), drag and drop events etc. but I suspect on a touchscreen device all of the touch events are just handed to the system as mouse events. I wouldn't like to think how MFC handles pinch to zoom, for example.
