Hello JSX..

I believe you are trying to run HelloWorld outside the TouchSmart shell. You will not be able to run it outside TS shell because it's design is to interpret messages coming from the TS shell. I guess it wouldn't make much sense to run it outside that environment.

With that said you can run other TS application with passing parameter: "chromeless debug"

If you need some sample which runs outside TS shell,send me PM with your email.

JsX,
You can develop your touch applications running outside the TouchSmart application (SmartCenter Shell). That would be a standalone windows application which has touch capabilities. For this purpose you do not need our SDK. You use SDK only if you need to port your program inside TouchSmart application i.e. if you want to deliver an experience to user within the TouchSmart application.

All touch events come from Windows7 OS. So, you write program for TouchSmart application or write a standard windows program, you will use Windows 7 API's.

I did not know it was possible!

This is very much possible and explained in SDK too. You need to pass few parameters to run programs written for TouchSmart. HelloWorld sample included in SDK does not run outside the TouchSmart application because of its design. It interprets TouchSmart application messages hence you can not run it outside of TS application.
I will send you a program which runs both outside and inside the TS application.

JSX, did you check the code I sent you? It clearly implements all layouts. As Geek said all view switching is controlled by TouchSmart application. You just need to implement your views in your code. If you will see sample code I sent you, you can see I have implemented all views which are seamlessly working inside TS application and outside with the parameter.
Providing switching between multiple views writing without any code is one the advantages of using TS application.
If you read section 3.3.15 in TS 3.0 SDK, you can see the reasoning about passing parameter.
