Touch Controls for GUI

[Nils_Thomsen]

Hi Folks,

trying to create a GUI that should be used on touch screens in productions. The problem is: Changing the size of the controls will not affect it's special function areas (like the little button for the Drop Down List to show up).

By means of this the gui is entirely not usable with gloves which will cause those poor people that have to use the software to darn me 😞

Is there a chance to create resizeable controls that do not look like Windows 3.11? Or does anyone know a modern looking scaleable control library?

Thank you very much

Nils

Hi Nils_Thomsen,

I am just guessing, Can't you use customize option present in Advanced?

I was able to change button size of Combo Box.

I tried, but it doesn't work. Is there a trick?

Haha I'm so stupid. Never recognized the wrench tool icon. By knowing its functionality it's quite easy 🙂

Thanks

Scaling is only partially available for system style objects. Those are based on .net controls which are adapted to your Windows version you are running. One major disadvantage is that, you can't e.g. scale some parts of your control, like the selector you've shown.

You could actually use controls from the silver, modern, classic and NXG style palette, which shall be completely scalable with all elements.
