I have seen this question: Are there any decent UI components for touch screen web applications? and have allmost exact the same question but Im focused on winforms.
I working on an application that is not primary made for using with a touch screen, but now I see more and more customers using touch screen and want the application to support it better.
I want to "add" to the UI so that for example a rightclick on a combobox (or click a button at the side of the combobox) opens up a dialogbox that handles the showing and selecting of the items easier on a touch screen.
Controls I want to enhance or replace are listboxes, comboboxes and textboxes.
I know its easy to create those controls myself, but I think there must be some standards and allready tested UIs that works good in that environment. I dont want to reinvent the wheel and make a bad one if it allready exists good ones.
To sum it up: Are there guide-lines for controls regarding touch screens, then where? Are there any allready made controls I can byu (or free ones) out there?
Thanks!
