GetTouchInputInfo function (winuser.h)

Retrieves detailed information about touch inputs associated with a particular touch input handle.

Syntax

BOOL GetTouchInputInfo(
  [in]  HTOUCHINPUT hTouchInput,
  [in]  UINT        cInputs,
  [out] PTOUCHINPUT pInputs,
  [in]  int         cbSize
);

Parameters

[in] hTouchInput

The touch input handle received in the LPARAM of a touch message. The function fails with ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE if this handle is not valid. Note that the handle is not valid after it has been used in a successful call to CloseTouchInputHandle or after it has been passed to DefWindowProc, PostMessage, SendMessage or one of their variants.

[in] cInputs

The number of structures in the pInputs array. This should ideally be at least equal to the number of touch points associated with the message as indicated in the message WPARAM. If cInputs is less than the number of touch points, the function will still succeed and populate the pInputs buffer with information about cInputs touch points.

[out] pInputs

A pointer to an array of TOUCHINPUT structures to receive information about the touch points associated with the specified touch input handle.

[in] cbSize

The size, in bytes, of a single TOUCHINPUT structure. If cbSize is not the size of a single TOUCHINPUT structure, the function fails with ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero. If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, use the GetLastError function.

Remarks

Calling CloseTouchInputHandle will not free memory associated with values retrieved in a call to GetTouchInputInfo. Values in structures passed to GetTouchInputInfo will be valid until you delete them.
