0001147: Windows 8 Touch Gesture/Action support erratic
I recently stumbled across your project and tried it out on my tablet running the Windows 8 Release Preview.

Everything works as advertised, except mouse handling - GUI elements cannot be tapped directly and the pointer can only be moved by tapping a position twice or using a dragging gesture. This, however, triggers a click event at the previous location of the pointer, which makes control of the game more difficult because you tend to accidentally click things you don't want to.
- open VCMI
- use fingers/stylus to control the game
I'm not sure, but I think there is an API for handling touch input under Windows 8 - maybe that could be used to make things easier.

Also, for reference, when started without VCMI, HoMM3 handles input much better, probably due to some kind of different/legacy input mode triggered by the change to full screen display - maybe that could be used as reference.
No tags attached.
