Touchscreen laptops - access touch events?
Hi there, is there a way to get touch events from touchscreen laptops or desktop computers? Am I right that only the iphone and android browser support touch events so far? So that it is not possible to access those touch events from the touchscreen computers?

Re: Touchscreen laptops - access touch events?
I don't think there is a way to access touch events in and of themselves. Touch screens are just simply another way of controlling the mouse for the computer. In terms of phones, when they touch a link, its equivalent to them clicking the link. Basically what I'm saying is that a touch event should be looked at by the browser, and thus GWT, as just simply a mouse click/move.

Re: Touchscreen laptops - access touch events?
On iPhone/iPad, mobile safari raises touch eventshttp://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 thishttp://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 spier...@gmail.com wrote: I don't think there is a way to access touch events in and of themselves.
