Multitouch with Chameleon and windows

Hey thanks for an amazing app. I created a touch midi keyboard with chameleon and would like to be able to continuously tap a key down and at the same time touch and drag vst knobs. Right the only way to do it is if I keep my finger on the midi keyboard while touching outside of chameleon but the moment I release the key I cant retrigger it until I let go of whatever else I'm touching outside of chameleon. Hope I am describing clearly. Is this possible?

Hello, your welcome!
The proper way to doit is create a knob inside chameleon and with that nob command external whatever thing on non multi-touch ui form third party software.

Hello and thanks for the response. Yes I am aware of that way but I do not want to have to do that. I have the keyboard at the bottom and a cut out at the top so that ableton can be seen and used. I would have to create knobs and sliders for every vst. I just want to be able to use both hands at the same time. One retriggering the key while the other is holding or tapping buttons on the vst. Is this a possibility?

Is a limitation of the OS and how touch input work.
Dont think is possible, anyway I stay here working on some stuff related to touch input capabilities for the next update, let me do some test and back soon, right now not is possible.

Hello Again,
As i said i retake a look on this, but basically when you touch on a non multitouch software, that software take exclusive control of the input device, in this case touchscreen.
If I not wrong, you cant use that multitouch device in other software until exclusive control is released.
IS OS works.
I reconfirm this later but 101% secure nothing changed related to this included on Windows 11.
