Hello,

Can't this library be used on windows 7?
The TabTip.exe also exist on windows 7, why can't we use this OS version?

Thanks

This library was designed for the touch-friendly versions of windows. Win 7 was designed for use with a mouse and a keyboard. Strictly speaking, you can fork this code and lift the Win 7 restriction, but I did not test this library on Win 7 and I have a feeling that something would not work as expected.

I see,

I'm using this library to complement a Mahapps based application, and there are lots of pc's with win7 that use a touch based monitor, like POS systems.

I will try to tweak your code and see if it works.

Thanks

@fredericoregateiro did you manage to tweak code for win 7? It would be great :D

@andrazselan i did something more simple, like on TabTip.cs file:

public static void Open()
{
    Process.Start(TabTipExecPath);
}

And i allow the user to override the TabTipExecPath if necessary.
