[QUOTE="80sman, post: 512568, member: 14145"] Not sure, I think using some thing custom written may be better. The graphics side of it I think is the easiest. I like your idea of using irss. I wonder if it's possible to build a front end for IRSS, it would certainly be an easy way to to control mediaportal and a way of making the application independent of mediaportal which should be better for system reliability. technick- A/ I'd really like a display to be default on the touchscreen (it's on the front of my case) something that as standard doesn't draw the eye with only a little system information (maybe). B/ Definately, with the ability to tune into either radio or select music tracks, so there is no need to switch on main display. The options here are many and I think it will be easy to get carried away with details here. I'm really more worried about getting a nicely working touch interface, I'm not sure of the best way of doing this, is there a better way of doing this within windows 7? Or is there new sdk released by microsoft that helps with touchscreen development? As a side note, I have seen a "multipoint" sdk from ms, means you can have 2 pointers and maybe not have to worry about stealing the focus away from mediaportal. Maybe this will be usefull [/QUOTE]
