The answer below is based on Dovogja's brilliant answer, but it uses a batch file to do it. GetWindowText(hWnd, title, sizeof(title)/sizeof(title)) HRESULT SetTouchDisableProperty(HWND hwnd, BOOL fDisableTouch)īOOL CALLBACK MyEnumProc(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam) If the targeted application is closed, then re-opened, the gestures will return. As JonoRR mentioned, the next step would be calling it only on the HWND you would like to target. The C++ below disables Win8 Gestures on every running application/window.

This solution also depends on your ability to install things other than the AIR app on the client PC.

How to get main window handle from process id?Įither way you'll need to use the Process name or ID to identify it as your AS3 process. for a direct solution you'll need to use.This tutorial should get you compiled and running, but the window handle you see there will be for the C++ application's window.Īccessing the flash window's handle will be slightly more difficult: I don't have C++ installed here (at work), but it looks like that C++ function just requires the window handle of your application (hWnd). If you can get that example working in C++, add a bit to the C++ to handle a on/off command line argument and call the C++ exe on initialization and exit of your AS3 application to toggle. Write a C++ application that toggles the gestures on/off manually. If there are command line options in Classic Shell, call it from within your AS3 and toggle the gestures on/off through it. (as long as your running off AIR - which it sounds like) You can use AIR 2.0's NativeProcess to execute it. I work on the Lenovo aio (All in one) with Windows 8. Also the game is made in AS3 so it will be hard to implement this in C#/C++. I have tried some in C# and C++, but I aint a skilled C#/C++ developer. HrReturnValue = pPropStore->SetValue(PKEY_EdgeGesture_DisableTouchWhenFullscreen, var) ĭoes anyone know how I can do this? Or point me into the right direction? Var.boolVal = fDisableTouch ? VARIANT_TRUE : VARIANT_FALSE HRESULT hrReturnValue = SHGetPropertyStoreForWindow(hwnd, IID_PPV_ARGS(&pPropStore)) HRESULT SetTouchDisableProperty(HWND hwnd, BOOL fDisableTouch) I also found this but I don't know how to implement this. I also read ASUS Smart Gestures but this is for the touch-pad.Īnd I have tried Classic Shell but I need to disable the edge gestures/hot corners without such programs, just on-the-fly. I found this so I am able to detect the gestures. I have seen some applications doing the same what I want to accomplish. I want to open my game, turn off gestures/hot corners and when the game closes the gestures/hot corners need to come back available again. People talk about registery edits, but I dont get this working + the user needs to restart his/hers computer. The game is working like expected but the anoying things are these edge gestures/hot corners (left, top, right, bottom) and the shortcuts. Now I want this game to run in Windows 8. In this game it may not be easy to exit (think about kiosk mode, only exit by pressing esc and enter a password).
