I don't if this has been asked before, but my searching isn't coming up with anything.
Can you program something to use the touchscreen for input using PB?

Do you mean mouse gestures? All the other events are like mouse events ...

I've done some touchscreen work, there are two ways: either by using a dedicated API, such as being used for touch tablets, or relying on windows where the touch screen is a sort of mouse, and handled by windows as 'mouse clicks'.

I've not fooled around with multi touch setups though, if that is what you're looking for...

I was thinking of using it like a mouse input.
Like I touch the screen, and there is a gadget or something where I touch,, and something happens.

Well, in that case there's nothing you have to do, windows takes care of it. Just treat it like regular mouse clicks.
