I'm designing a user interface for a large touchscreen device running Linux. What would be the best toolkit/developer kit/SDK to use? The only requirement is that its able to run on a semi-low performace device, and that there is a Linux version. Nice-to-haves would be build in support for effects/animations and a modern look-and-feel...
The only experience I have so far with a touchscreen interface was one where everything was custom drawn, and I get the feeling it's not the most efficient way of doing it (even the most basic layout change is hell to make). I know plenty of GUI toolkits intended at keyboard & mouse interfaces, but can you advise something suited for tou...
I'm starting a new project which involves developing an interface for a machine that measures wedge and roundness of lenses and stores the information in a database and reports on it. There's a decent chance we're going to be putting a touch screen on this machine so that it doesn't need to have a mouse or keyboard... I don't have any ...
We are currently designing a website that will be accessed from kiosks in a museum. Users will need to be able to browse through a number of different web pages that will currently contain static HTML content as well as go through various interactive presentations that will be based on flash and run in flash player. Users may need to inp...
I'm developing an application in C++ that's partially driven by touch-screen on Windows XP Embedded. Some text entry will be necessary for the user. So far we've been using the standard Windows On-Screen Keyboard (osk.exe), but there are two main problems: It's rather small on a higher resolution screen which will probably make it ha...

Our company does a lot of flash work and occasionally offline / kiosk applications. I'd like to recommend a touchscreen to our client but don't know enough about the market. Anyone have any good experiences with any particular model of touchscreen? Thanks! ...
I am writing a, relatively, simple program involving 3 separate monitors. Each monitor will have a button moving around that specific screen. If you click that button it will play a video on that screen. I need to be able to have each of the screens acting as if they are totally separate. I have built the computer that will be running...
Hi all, I'm involved in writing a touchscreen application for a medical device. The program is kiosk-like, in that the start menu, etc, will not be accessible to the user, and the user will use an onscreen keyboard to type any text in the rare event that they need to. The spec'd screen size is 1280x1024. The question is this: What's...
Is it possible to implement different layouting modes for a windows form without having to manual compute the alignment locations? For example: I have a Form which should be able to displayed in two modes normal & touchscreen. Touch screen mode being the same form with larger buttons, larger fonts and should not have alignment issues. ...
I'm working on my first video game for the Android platform as a bit of a nights and weekends project. It is coming along nicely, but I am very unhappy with the control sensativity. In this game, you move an object left and right on the screen. On the bottom of the screen is a "touchpad" of sorts, which is where your finger should rest...
I maintain a touch screen application that I'm re-writing into .Net. Through the years the resolution of the touch screens has increased greatly. Not only is the resolution higher, but the pixels are also much more dense making it harder to see/operate the touch buttons. Is there a way with WPF to force application windows to scale t...
What's the easiest way to modify a Winforms track bar so that when a user clicks on it the track bar jumps to the location of the mouse? By default the track bar moves to half way between it's current location and where the mouse was clicked. Update: I'm trying to do this so that I can use the track bar on a touch-screen. With a touch-...

The problem is that for my project I have need to have the program reset the x and y every time a finger is dragged more over then 30 degrees around the center point. Whenever I link a variable to the x and y of the current location within the touc...
Hello, I know in my iPhone app I can get touch events. But these touch events are filtered for me. If I press the device against my face, it filters out these touch events because it can detect its not a finger. How would I get the raw touch events, not filtered in any way? Thanks. ...
