I am using the&nbsp;GetMouse with a touch-screen.

Using the mouse works fine.

Using the touch-screen doen't work if I just touch the scree. I need to slide the finger a bit in order to get response.

Is there anyway I can configure the&nbsp;GetMouse to identify finger touch ?

No, not in PTB's GetMouse(). Maybe you'll find some magic setting for the touch screen driver you are using on your operating system (whatever OS that is - you don't provide any details).

The OS is window 10, the touch screen is Dell P2314T.
The thing that I don't understand is why when I am using the browser, finger touch works fine but using my Matlab + Pshychtoolbox SW you need to slide.

Thanks,

Tal.
