Multitouch pad for Win32 application on Windows 7

I am developing an Win32 application (Windows 7) that uses a multitouch input. I tried several multitouch pads working on Windows, such as MSI starpad and Macbook pro built-in touchpad (booted in Window 7 using Bootcamp), but none of them generate Windows multitouch or gesture event. Does anyone know how these touchpad drivers send multitouch signals to win32 applications?

The touch capability is either reported by firmware via Microsoft's HID driver or by a custom HID driver.

According to this page:

MultiTouch Capabilities in Windows 7

You need to handle the messages WM_TOUCH and WM_GESTURE in a windows procedure.
