I'm happy to know that because I know nothing about touch-screens and I think I'd better learn now while I still have some brain cells left :) Can you generate any other events beside button1-down/up? Maybe by sliding your finger across the screen? I imagine that if I were designing such a gadget I'd want a finger-slide to translate to a scroll-wheel event. What events does your touchpad generate?
