resize column on touch device

[axel]

Hello,

column resize doesn't work on touch device (acer aspire) in google chrome.

In ms edge it works, though not very reliable.

Hello Alex,

Some portable Windows devices have both mouse and touch capabilities, but do not manifest this in an understandable way. We are not able to detect such scenarios properly or find out if the user is using a mouse or touch in a given case. As a result, the Kendo UI widgets may work with the mouse only.

It is possible to use browser detection and hack Kendo UI to make it think it is working on a touch device. I have shown how to do this below. However, two things must be pointed out:

1. This is not an officially supported approach and undesired side effects may occur.
2. An important question is how and when to trigger the hack, so that you don't break all your desktop users.

var isTouchEnabledDevice = true; // some conditional logic required here

if (isTouchEnabledDevice) {
  kendo.support.mobileOS = true;
  kendo.support.kineticScrollNeeded = true;
}

$("#grid").kendoGrid({
  /* ... */
});

As a final note, I should probably mention that we have no short-term plans to implement an out-of-the-box touch support on the above mentioned devices.
