On iPhone/iPad, mobile safari raises touch events<http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/appleapplications/reference/SafariJSRef/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001482>. You can write javascript code to listen to these events. Since these events are browser specific, GWT doesn't handle them out-of the-box. However, it is is possible to extend GWT so that you can handle these events, and Lombardi's development blog explains how to achieve this<http://development.lombardi.com/?p=1289> .
Apart from mobile safari, there isn't a way to access touch events on desktops that have a touch screen. --Sri On 6 June 2010 09:39, spierce7 <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't think there is a way to access touch events in and of > themselves.
