Windows 7 For Developers
Download as PPT, PDF0 likes1,020 views
This document summarizes the key new features of Windows 7, including the taskbar, libraries, multi-touch, sensors and location, and ribbon interfaces. It discusses how these features can be leveraged by developers, providing resources for learning more about multi-touch programming, sensors and location APIs, and the ribbon interface. Example gestures, manipulations, and multi-touch scenarios are described.
Windows 7 For Developers
- 1. win7 4 devs aditya mani, acuis 28 th june 2009 microsoft tech-ed on road
- 2. thank you
- 3. about me health software hospital industry multitouch kiosk on wpf acu is
- 4. win7 4 devs spirit of this presentation what’s new in win7? what’s in it for devs? where do we get the resources?
- 5. spirit of this presentation not only about technology conversational work in progress….
- 6. what’s new in win7 1 design principles of win7 2 taskbar 3 libraries 4 multi touch 5 sensor & location 6 ribbon ux
- 7. what’s new in win7 design principles of win7
- 8. what’s new in win7 design principles of win7 taskbar » reduce complexity single tool to: launch, switch & manage apps + their tasks
- 9. what’s new in win7 design principles of win7 libraries » user centric next gen of my documents stores a list of locations can be leveraged by apps
- 10. what’s new in win7 design principles of win7 multi touch » life like nui gestures manipulations inertia
- 11. what’s new in win7 design principles of win7 sensor & location » on the go
- 12. what’s new in win7 design principles of win7 ribbon » not just technology
- 13. what’s new in win7 design principles of win7 taskbar » reduce complexity libraries » user centric multi touch » life-like sensor & location » on the go ribbon » not only technology

- 15. what’s in it for devs multi touch sensor & location ribbon
- 16. multi touch Scenarios good for touch: maps & pics Touch & gestures that make up the NUI Will be present in small form factors (phones) to large ff (surface units) Touch scenarios – factory floors to phones (can’t pull out a keyboard everytime) Touch is better for content consumption versus content creation!
- 17. multi touch & WPF
- 18. multi touch & WPF
- 19. multi touch & WPF Certain multi-gesture manipulations with inertia will be available in WPF 4
- 20. multi touch & WPF Good - Out of the box experience for legacy apps is available in Win7
- 21. multi touch & gestures Gestures: 1 or 2 fingers inputs that translate into action OS does listening for gestures You can program the app to listen for WM_GESTURE messages or notifications
- 22. multi touch & gestures Good - Out of the box experience for legacy apps is available in Win7
- 23. some gestures keywords GetGesture SetGestureConfig api can be set to turn on or turn off gestures You can slow down, add inertia etc WM_GestureNotify GetGestureInfo Usually gesture messages should be limited to 30 gestures per second GID_Rotate
- 25. WM_Touch Similar to mouse position giving multiple (an array of) XY co-ords
- 26. manipulations Manipulations are the superset to gestures. Manipulations allow you to simultaneously do multiple gesture paired up with inertia and other physics engine transforms. So, you can rotate, move and zoom in concurrently. Needs raw data and depends on how much the hardware can support. The most complex form of Multi-touch!!
- 27. manipulations
- 28. Inertia & physics engines

- 34. sensor & location native sensor sdk with win7 can be connected to sensing devices like gps, temp sensor, light sensor, accelerometers etc os level resource: multiple applications can use the output of the sensor simultaneously without having resource constraints
- 35. sensor & location iSensorManager: com interface that manages all the sensors in the system GetSensorByID used to query a sensor by ID GetSensorByCategory used to query a sensor if environmental sensor, physics sensor Onsensor: event tells you new sensor Isensor you can get data about sensor
