and disabling multi-touch</title><p>Multi-touch is only required by UI applications.

Therefore, multi-touch is enabled inside the orange rectangular area shown

on the following diagram. Inside the area two Windows pointers are displayed.

The one numbered zero is the system pointer and the other is used only for

multi-touch purposes. The first mouse to report events to the emulator is

automatically taken as the primary mouse, which owns the Windows system pointer.</p><fig id="GUID-C62E31A2-65F8-4976-A3A9-058BFE3D30D3">

</fig><p><b>System pointer</b>. Once the system pointer moves outside multi-touch

area, multi-touch is temporarily disabled and standard emulator pointer behavior

is resumed. This means that only one Windows system pointer is displayed and

it is controlled by both mice.</p>     <p><b>Non-system pointer</b>. If the

non-system pointer moves out of the multi-touch area, the pointer just disappears

from the screen. Disabling multi-touch is then not necessary because the system

pointer behaves normally inside the multi-touch area. Moving the non-system

pointer back into the area makes it reappear on the screen.</p>     </section>
