When using the InjectTouchInput function, the touchpad(via I2C) is not working

Question

Hi,

I'm attempting to use the InjectTouchInput function to simulate touchscreen behavior with the touchpad. However, currently when calling InjectTouchInput to simulate cursor movement, there is no response when sliding or clicking on the touchpad (via I2C).

Code to do simulating movement:

                        if (bool_down) {
                            var p2 = getPos();
                            int nMoveIntervalX = (int)((p2.X - pp.X));
                            int nMoveIntervalY = (int)((p2.Y - pp.Y));

                            //Simulating touch - movement.
                            contact.Move(nMoveIntervalX, nMoveIntervalY);
                            oFlags = PointerFlags.UPDATE | PointerFlags.INRANGE | PointerFlags.INCONTACT;
                            contact.PointerInfo.PointerFlags = oFlags;
                            TouchInjector.InjectTouchInput(1, new[] { contact });

        public void Move(int deltaX, int deltaY) {
            PointerInfo.PtPixelLocation.X += deltaX;
            PointerInfo.PtPixelLocation.Y += deltaY;
            ContactArea.left += deltaX;
            ContactArea.right += deltaX;
            ContactArea.top += deltaY;
            ContactArea.bottom += deltaY;
        }

        [DllImport("User32.dll")]
        public static extern bool InjectTouchInput(int count, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray), In] PointerTouchInfo[] contacts);

Here is a sample code for reference:

Currently, the following types of mouse/touchpad are ok: external USB cable mouse, wireless mouse, and the touchpad via PS2.

Is there any solution to fix it?

Thanks.

Hello @Dean Tang,

It's worth noting that the injected input is sent to the desktop of the session where the injection process is running. We're not in a position to know whether InjectTouchInput blocks the I2C channel or not but there is another driver sample HIDInjector you can check.
