I work with many touch screens every day. A touchscreen is just a
piece of touch-sensitive glass (which usually looks for your finger
to complete an electrical circuit, or listens for the sounds your
finger makes when touching the glass) placed over a standard screen.
The touchscreen drivers act as a mouse. Your application will not
know the difference.
Modern touch screens support a full range of mouse functions, such as
dragging and right-click. Older ones don't support either, so you'll
need to consider your target audience. I know that any touchscreen by
ELO Touchsystems made in the last 5 years supports these new
features, and ELO is the most common brand.
