Historical Q: touchscreens / touchpanels

Historical Q: when did support for touchscreens or panels become available in Labview

[Dennis_Knutson]

I used a laptop running windows for pen computing with LabVIEW back around 1995 or so. There have been numerous touchscreen pc's running regular windows where the 'touch' of a pen or finger is the same thing as a mouse click and LabVIEW has always been able to run on them. If you are asking about touchpanels running windows ce, that's a bit different question.

I'm looking for early documentation where Labview allowed a developer to create an application that made use of a touchscreen or touchpanel for inputs.

You are going to have to be more specific. As I said, if you were running a touchpanel with a normal windows OS, there was nothing special required. You treated everything as a mouse click and if you wanted to, you could create a keypad/keyboard in LabVIEW.
