How can I simulate multi-touch in the Windows Phone 7 emulator?

I'm trying to simulate a pinch gesture so I can zoom out in a map, but I can't seem to figure out how?! Seems to me like a rookie problem, but everywhere I've checked they tell me there's supposed to be a pinch button in the toolbar on the right in the emulator.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The Windows Phone emulator only supports multitouch gestures with a multitouch device. You would have to have a screen, or touchpad to work with it. Also, there has been comments about using two mice and there is a project on codeplex http://multitouchvista.codeplex.com for it.

A short video demonstration about using MultiTouchVista to emulate a pinch gesture on Windows Phone can be found here: http://vimeo.com/10330829

Answer 2

A great option is to get one of those cheap android tablets and turn it into a second monitor. Then you can do touch gestures in the emulator. Also, the phones are so fast now that I often just debug on the phone and skip the emulator.
