Hello,
I am running Windows 8.1 in VirtualBox (host: OS X 10.10.1). I have three displays: two "normal" displays and a touch display for programing C# programs touch optimized. Now I realized that VirtualBox recognize a touch (on the touch display) as a mouse click. Is there any way to get this work correctly, so touch input will be handled as touch input?
Thanks for every answer.

Re: Recognizing touch correctly?
There is an option to emulate a "USB Multi-Touch Tablet", under Settings, System, Motherboard. I'm not sure if that's going to work for you, but give it a shot...

Re: Recognizing touch correctly?
I believe the USB Multi-Touch Tablet setting is so guests that support gestures can recognize them from a host's Multi-Touch devices such as a Touch Pad or a Magic Mouse. I don't believe there is any touch screen support in VirtualBox just yet.socratis wrote:There is an option to emulate a "USB Multi-Touch Tablet", under Settings, System, Motherboard.

Re: Recognizing touch correctly?
Thank you for your answers. This is not perfectly what I wanted, but using the Touchpad is a good workaround till touch displays work, too. Thank you
