Can I use DELL P2424HT with my MacBook for touch gestures?

I'm wanting to extend my laptop to an external touchscreen monitor in order to do basic control/command gestures without having to go back to the laptop, like control Music, or Quicktime movie playback, or, ideally, more complicated stuff like control basic features on Logic. Can anyone confirm that this monitor can do that? Thanks
