[OpenLayers-Users] OL on Win7 with touch i/f

[Warren Vick]

Hello Christopher,

My question was specific to Win7 gesture support on OL, and whether all gestures map to standard mouse functionality picked up by OL. I think there's a better chance that someone here as tried OL on Win7 here than in general Windows forums, but granted I'll also seek information on the zoom in/out gestures elsewhere too. If some additional dev is needed, I think it would be a worthy feature to commission.

Regards,
Warren

It seems like your'e asking the OpenLayers mailing list how Windows 7
handles touch events. It seems like there are probably better forums for 
asking (and getting an answer to) that question...
