Thanks Alan. Touch interface has always intrigued me...it's the cost of the touch screens that provides a barrier.

The Touch screen is an HP (forgot the exact model) and we used the drivers for the HP. Not sure of the exact operation but you can use touch or the mouse to select a field. Have yet to check it out on Windows 8, but I see no reason why it wouldn't. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Copeland Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2012 12:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Windows 8 Curious about touchscreen w/Win8. I'm assuming Win8 requires a touchscreen monitor (hardware) for the touchscreen features to work. All the monitors I've priced are $270 and up. Maybe greater demand will drive the price of touchscreen monitors down below $200... Will a VFP 9 application, running on Win8, be able to benefit from the touchscreen monitor? I'm guessing the "touch" would be interpreted as a mouse click event? If yes, and if monitor prices drop, then that's something to get excited about; as in a Point of Sale application scenario.
