When AutoHide isn't enough, how can I code to gaurentee the taskbar can't be used/displayed while my application is running? It's a full (touch)screen application (with no keyboard), that is being used in kiosk mode. When the application exits it's ok to restore the taskbar. Thank you! ...
Hi, I am developing an ASP.Net web app that needs to run in a Kiosk/Touch screen environment. The existing ASP.Net web controls are not too touch-screen friendly as they seem better suited for a mouse/touchpad. The hot potato dropped in my lap when the powers-that-be decided we need some sort of composite control similar to the ASP.Net...
The app I'm developing requires that it be deployed in China, which means that it needs to have Pinyin and Chinese character handling. I'm told that the way that our customers handle character entry is like so: Enter in the pinyin character, like 'zhang' As they enter the characters, a list of possible Chinese (Mandarin?) characters a...
In a windows version with tablet support, a small keyboard icon appears when an edit control gets focus. If you touch it the touch keyboard pops up. Is there a way to disable this? It's rather inconvenient if you have your own touch keyboard. I want to disable it for certain edit controls in code, ie. I'm not looking for a Windows sett...
So I'm writing a small Windows application, and I'm seeing many places where I could make life easier for touchscreen users (through things like swipes and multi-touch in Windows 7). However, is it worth it? Are touchscreen computers widespread enough for me to care? Or should I wait a year or two? I can't actually disclose what I'm wri...
In the blackberry JDE 4.7, under the TouchEvent, there are two similar sounding methods: getX(int touch) "return mapped x coordinate" getGlobalX(int touch) "return global x coordindate" Does anyone know what the difference is between the two? The javadocs talk about mapped vs global but I'm not sure what that means. Any help poind...
Hello everyone, Suppose I have a touch screen which supports single finger touch, is it very hard to use software based solution (e.g. programming to detect multi-finger touch and movement) to make the touch screen support multi-touch? Just like I bought a cheap single finger touch cell phone and through programming I make it work as i...
I have created a ButtonField & a BitmapField like.. public class MyCanvas extends MainScreen implements FieldChangeListener { HorizontalFieldManager hfm; private Bitmap startBitmap; private BitmapField startBitmapField; private ButtonField okButton; MyCanvas() { hfm = new HorizontalFIeldManager(); st...
I'm currently trying to set up a web page for a touch screen computer, and have noticed that (with my fat fingers) that onclick events are really hard to trigger, as the surface area of my finger generally causes the cursor to move while I "click". The solution I want to use is forwarding onmousedown events to onclick. How can I make t...
I'm using the YUI slider that operates with mouse move events. I want to make it respond to touchmove events (iPhone and Android). How can I produce a mouse move event when a touchmove event occurs? I'm hoping that just by adding some script at the top that touchmove events will get mapped to the mouse move events and I won't have to cha...
I'm porting an audio processing application written in C++ from Windows to Windows Mobile (version 5+). Basically what I need to port is the GUI. The application is quite complicated and the GUI will need to be able to offer a lot of functionality. I would like to create a touch friendly user interface that also looks good. Which basical...
At which level in Firefox the active zone around active areas (text and image hyperlinks) is defined ? I would like to experiment ways to extend them to ease the use of touchscreens for the web... ...
I am developing a kiosk-style application that is going to be used with a touchscreen. Are there any simple, well-written on-screen keyboards for Cocoa? Note that this is not for an iPhone app, but rather targetting OS X 10.5/10.6. Thanks. ...
To reproduce the problem: Download Apple's sample project GLGravity: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/GLGravity/index.html "Build and Go" on a device. Observe how smooth it is. Then, touch anywhere on the screen. Observe how jerky and slow it becomes. Eventually, it becomes unresponsive. Why? And how would you...
What are the good algorithms to apply to kinetic scrolling implementation? The feature would be tested on custom UI list. While I am targeting mobile devices (those that do not have this feature built-in), any algorithm or code example from different programming field may also suit. Thank you. ...
Hi There, I am having a strange effect with touches. Sometimes when I swipe the screen slowly the touchBegan and touchMoved get called but not the touchEnded, which kinda screws up my view movements. How is it possible that touchEnded doesn't get called? And my finger leaves the screen without running off the sides or anything like that...
I developed a J2ME app using LWUIT and it works fine but when I try the app on a mobile phone with Windows Mobile 6 it displays the virtual keyboard overlapping the softkeys until I double clik it. I already tried to use the following attributes on the application jar but they didn't worked: Navi-Key-Hidden: true Nokia-MIDlet-On-Screen...
Hi Geeks, I am planning to design an embedded device which will have atom processor platform and linux OS in it. It will have an 7" touchscreen panel. In stead of going for KDE and GNOME desktops I want to design my small desktop environment for the device. Can anyone please suggest which GUI tool I should use to design a desktop from s...
i am making a keyboard c# control. it has to detect the installed and active keyboard and reproduce it on screen. i would like to iterate all keys in the currently attached(configured) keyboard, but all solutions i found on this site and on the internet use fixed layouts or a range of fixed layouts i would like to know which keys-keyc...
Hi everybody, Is there a google search command to filter touchscreen compatible websites (ex: touch.facebook.com, www.youtube.com/XL)? (I don't mean old wap websites, i mean a website version of the original one that contains large buttons, AJAX interactivity, etc. ) Is there a repertory on the net that contains this kind of websites? ...
