I am prototyping a Windows WPF application using Windows 7's built-in multitouch gestures.  I'd like to use telerik controls but before making the purchase I'd like to know if using the c# source will allow for me to capture gesture messages?

Hello Andrew Espinosa,

Thanks for your question.

We cannot give 100% guarantee that updating the source code of our controls to support multi-touch gestures would be an easy and straightforward task. Actually, we are in the early stage of researching the matter and therefore, we are not sure on the estimated costs and efforts to accomplish this, yet. What I can tell you for sure is that we will be working on multi-touch support, however, considering the tasks we have already started, we will be able to work on multi-touch support during Q2 2010 at the earliest.

Kind regards,
Nick

Dear Telerik Team,

I was wondering if there is an update at all on the level of gesture support in the WinForm or WPF controls at this stage or whether you will be releasing new controls/updates in this area?

Cheers!

Hello graham,

We will most probably start planning such development after Q2. Once we have some certain talks/discussion, I will be able to reveal more details.

Best wishes,

Is there any update on when support for multi-touch is going to be incorporated into WPF controls?

Hello Eric,

Thanks for your question.

We did not manage to work on this task as there were other priority tasks we needed to complete before Q3. In other words our controls are touch-friendly in terms of the out-of-the-box touch-behavior that WPF provides.

Hello Andrew Espinosa,

Not yet. Now that Windows Phone is out we will focusing our efforts and energy in this direction at some point. Actually we do have the multi-touch gesture in our product backlog, but its priority is low, due to the low demand of the market. If this changes we will definitely invest heavily in that area.

Best wishes,

Especially I need touch-scrolling in RadGridView.

Are there any methods on the grid I can use for programatically scrolling the grid when I consume touch events by myself (e.g. "scroll n lines down" or "page down"? I didn't find some on Version 2010.3.1110.40.

Greetings,
Daniel

Hi Daniel Schilling,

There are several methods that you can use. Here is a list:

// scrolls to specified data item
this.playersGrid.ScrollIntoView(dataItemTOScroll)
  
// or simply use the ScrollViewer
var scrollViewer = this.playersGrid.ChildrenOfType<GridViewScrollViewer>().First();
scrollViewer.ScrollToBottom();
scrollViewer.ScrollToTop();
scrollViewer.ScrollToVerticalOffset(30.0);

Hi,

thanks for your help and you pointed me to the right direction:
In WPF4 many controls in .NET base are touch-enabled by default, e.g ScrollViewer. You only have to enable interpretation of gestures in loaded event:
private void View_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var scrollViewer = this.grid.ChildrenOfType<GridViewScrollViewer>().First();
    scrollViewer.PanningMode = PanningMode.VerticalOnly;
    this.grid.ManipulationBoundaryFeedback += (s, args) => args.Handled = true;
}

Thanks,
Daniel
