Interactive screen extended display - enable touch

[timbo343]

Does anyone know of a central / en-mass way to configure an Interactive Screen as a second monitor for touch to be enabled via registry settings or scripts?

 

It seems that the only way to get this to work is via the "tablet pc settings" and I'm not even sure if that is only via local profiles / current user rather than applied to the whole PC.

 

As we block access to Control Panel it's going to be a pain having users set this each time they use a different interactive screen setup.

The tablet PC setting is per machine. Don't know where the setting is stored though. Maybe run a capture while setting it to see where it's stored. I suspect it'll be against some 'display id' and 'input id'. So rolling it out on mass would require detecting what each ID is per machine.

We've found that most touch screens just need to be the primary display to work (or they don't work at all in extended). If that works for you, then  you could have a script using multi-monitor-tool to set all that up.

We have all the same screens in the room so just setup one pc to have the right setting via tablet pc settings then export HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wisp\Pen\Digimon and copy that to the other pcs

Thanks for the replies.

 

@cw80 that hasn't really made much of a difference after setting up one PC, using Tablet PC Settings. pressing Enter to select the Interactive Screen and tapping on the screen to activate it. It seems that we still need to run setup from Tablet PC Settings.

 

@Rob_D Ours are to be set as the secondary monitor and only by going through the Tablet PC Settings setting in Control Panel seems to be the only way we can activate the touch on that particular screen without it mirroring on the monitor on the teacher's desk.

 

@robyholmes That did cross my mind that it would be id specific to each particular PC.
