Tactil scrolling on tablets
Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2014 11:30 AM

Hi to all,

Now, is it possible scrolling xbrowse when push and drag with fingers ?

Tablets developer.... how to scrolling xbrowse in yours fwh programs ? With buttons o scroll bars perhaps ?

Is it possible fwh provides link to API on touch screen events ? This is very usefull. Fwh tablets programs will be more tacticable.

Regards.

The standard scrollbars work with touch. They are workable on my 15 inch touch laptop, however, they will probably be too small on a small tablet.

Unfortunately, data apps are somewhat difficult to implement on small screen devices. Also, the modern design would say that each record needs to be on a box (button) in a table that scrolls sideways instead of down. Of course, this only works with a limited number of records.

As a Workaround Change the ScrollWidth in the registry.

James,

Here, in this forum, there are many developers that they have tablets program building with fwh. On more 10 inchs tablet we can to run new designs programs tablets.
Perhaps, a gallery collection of programs tablets builded with fwh can help (us) to how know build thats applications. :)

Otto,

Set register is difficult to user. Set register is global and above all scrollbar is ugly and it isn't standard design.... customer exclams: what is it ? :cry:

thank you both

Hello Antonio M.,
yes you are right.
But as we work exclusive with RDP this is no problem.
We can set up the scrollbars per device.
We use a powershell script for this.
You can login with the tabletPC with a different user.

>Perhaps, a gallery collection of programs tablets builded with fwh can help (us) to how know build thats applications.
This would be a good idea.
BTW do you have a keyboard solution for tablet apps?

Best regards,
Otto
