This topic provides an overview of the Infragistics touch-enabled controls and components.
This topic contains the following sections:
The size of the Infragistics touch-enabled controls may be the first thing you notice. By design, touch-enabled controls appear larger (wider, taller or both) than buttons, and other elements in the User Interface (UI) making it easier to interact with and operate when using a touch-sensitive surface.
The following measures were taken into consideration in the design process of the touch functionality:
Enabling the Touch functionality occurs at the form level rather than the control level as it is unlikely that both Touch and Non-Touch system use the same application. Adding the UltraTouchProvider component to the form enables Form level touch support for Infragistics controls.
Although other approaches were analyzed for enabling Touch functionality at the application level, none appeared to be a feasible solution allowing you to interact with the touch metrics at design-time to arrange controls on the form using the designer. The only way to enable touch at the application level is via the static property. Since the static property is not available at design-time, best practice dictates enabling the touch functionality at the Form level.
