Using Multi-point Touch

To create a multi-point touch effect in the Emulator, press and hold the CTRL key (Command key in Mac OS® X), while mouse-clicking on the Emulator screen.

Adding a Touch Point

To add a touch point on the Emulator screen, press and hold the CTRL key (Command key in Mac OS® X) and mouse-click a point on the screen.

You can add touch points up to the maximum amount of multi-point touches. To get the maximum amount, use the System::SystemInfo::GetValue() method with the MultiPointTouchCount key.

Ending the Multi-point Touch

To end the multi-point touch, release the CTRL key (Command key in Mac OS® X). The touched points on the Emulator screen are invalidated, and the next screen touch event is read as a new event, not part of the previous multi-point touch event.
