GETTOUCHCOUNT
Gets the number of active touch contacts.
Declare Function GetTouchCount ( ) As Integer
count = GetTouchCount( )
The number of currently active touch contacts.
GetTouchCount returns the number of active touch contacts reported by the current graphics driver.
On platforms with native touch support, this reports the active contacts known to the backend. On platforms without native touch support, GfxLib exposes a simple compatibility fallback: if the left mouse button is held down over the graphics screen, the mouse position is reported as one touch contact.
The returned coordinates for touch contacts are in the same logical graphics coordinate space used by GetMouse.
