Disabling System Gestures

By default a window application receives all system gesture events. You may need
to disable some system gesture events by responding to
WM_TABLET_QUERYSYSTEMGESTURESTATUS message in your window procedure.
Refer to the article, "WM_TABLET_QUERYSYSTEMGESTURESTATUS Message
Message," on MSDN for more details:
Additional advanced touch input manipulation is available on MSDN at

Touch Support in Windows 7

Windows 7 provides a richer support for the development of touch applications.
Support includes:
The default behavior for many gestures that touch-unaware applications

automatically receive
 Gesture messages (WM_GESTURE) to get gestures performed by users
Touch input messages (WM_TOUCH) to get information about specific contact

points
Manipulation APIs (using manipulation processor and inertia processor) on top

of touch input messages to get actions performed by users as well as how
actions can be interpreted
An application can receive either gesture messages or touch input messages but not
both at the same time. By default, Windows sends WM_GESTURE notifications to
an application. If the application does not handle these events, they are bubbled
up and Windows will send back equivalent legacy messages like mouse left button
click, mouse left double click, mouse right button up, mouse right button down, etc.
Consequently, that is why touch-unaware applications can still get good touch
support.
Not all gestures have equivalent legacy messages. To provide a better touch user
experience, you may need to handle gesture messages that have no legacy
