Dual touch screen

mp31023 · 09-05-2006, 02:32 AM

Is it possible to use 2 touch screen monitors at the same time. I have tried this but the touch screen only works on the primary screen. Any ideas?

sorry, i cant find any links right now (either im stupid, or my search terms dont pull anything)

but this has been discussed many times before, if your smarter than me (which probably isnt hard, lol) try searching for touch screen or something similar to that

What you want is 2 touch screens (2 mouse) and 2 pointer. Current/default windows only allows 1 pointing devices.
Check out CPNMouse http://cpnmouse.sourceforge.net/
I haven't use it yet, but looking at it. I want to use 2 mouse and a TS to control front screen and headrest screen too.

i'm sure there is a way to do it, on my laptop i use a wireless mouse because sometime the touchpad ****es me off, and the both work, i can use both the mouse and touchpad

Bloody hell, i have been checking in on this thread all day waiting for someone to give the guy the right info.

YES SURE YOU CAN DO IT.

You can have multiple touch controllers set up in the driver software. Then when you map and calibrate each one.

here is the snippet from the help file:

Quote:

[Monitors]
There are three functions in this property page, and they are Multiple Monitors, Split Monitor and One Point Calibration. Such a trendy and yet innovated design provides viewing pleasures, viewing flexibility and convenience to the users.

<Multiple Monitors>

To configure the mapping relationship between the monitors and the touch panels, select the monitor page as below.

Set the check box (Use Multiple Monitors) to enable multiple monitors mapping. Uncheck this box will disable multiple-monitor configuration, and all of the touch panel controllers will be mapped to the primary monitor. The gray shadow area is the monitor mapped the selected controller/panel. The button [Mapping] is used to find the mapping relationships between the monitors and touch panel controllers. Press the [Mapping], the software will guide the users to touch the corresponding monitor to obtain the mapping relationship.

After finish monitor mapping, Press [Apply] to apply the mappingrelation.

<Split Monitors>

To use the Split Monitor function, users need to select which controller you want to launch this function, then check the Multiple Monitors box and Split Monitor at the same time as showing as the follow picture. Press the [Split Setting] button to set up the activate area.

It shows the current resolution of display and users can set up the activate area by inputting the value by yourself or use the default button [Upper Half], [Left Half] or [Quarter]. The default value of panel resolution should be full screen as Left: 0 , Right: 0, Top: 0 and Bottom: 0.

Thanks Monkey!!!! I will get it a try tonight.

I think what he is looking for is two completely different pointers in his car. Simultaneous control over the screen in the front and the one in the back using only one computer. One user can control the GPS as the other changes a song and the mice dont go hay-wire! Pretty cool idea if you ask me!

I would think the only time you would run into problems is when you're trying to press on BOTH screens at once. No way for the pointer to be in two places at once, right?

Otherwise, the driver software should feed the OS an absolute position on the screen, depending on where your finger is. If it's on the extended desktop, bam! There's the pointer..

There is a touchscreen controller called "Gunze"....drivers for this controller have built-in setup/configuration if you have dual touchscreens on dual monitor.

i am personally using this and never find any problem.

Drivers are available on there websites...for these drivers to work, you have to use there controller....
you can use your touchscreen panel with this controller if your touchscreen panel is 4 or 8 wires.

these controllers support 4 or 8 wires touchscreen panels. have a look at the picture, just two connectors, one for USB and another for touchpane (4/8 wire)

Scouse,

Is there a way to have the screens boot with 2 different AP. For example 1 with the front end player and the other with Navigation.

Un_discovered · 09-27-2006, 01:50 AM

I think you can use UltraMon for that.
Google it.
