WinForms Controls: Multi-Touch and Tablet Support (coming in v2011 vol 2)

I think the subject line of this post is self-explanatory...but to tease you even further, we've prepared a short video....

http://tv.devexpress.com/#WinFormsMultiTouchSupport

The video demontrates multi-touch enabled versions of our WinForms Grid, WinForms Charts, and WinForms NavBar Control. We've enabled multi-touch for many different WinForms Controls and will describe them in more detail while at the // BUILD conference in Anaheim...

Suffice it to say...those of you who love WinForms and have come to rely on DevExpress will not be left out of exciting news next week...The past is prologue to the future and with our WinForms Controls, you'll be able to deliver a compelling end-user experience on multiple Windows devices (including Windows 8 Tablets / Slates) using the tried and true WinForms platform.

GO WINFORMS!

	Robert Fuchs said: Great stuff! So we don't have to rewrite our Winforms apps with HTML5 or Silverlight ;) BTW, the video is corrupt. It stops at 00:03. Tried in IE9, Chrome and Firefox. MP4 download is ok. September 6, 2011 7:12 PM

	vaskess P. said: Nice video, but I did not see any multi-touch in it. Did you mean touch and tablet support? September 7, 2011 7:35 AM
	Robert Fuchs said: @Heiko I am renewing since 2002 - and never regretted... September 7, 2011 11:30 AM

	Jim Clay said: That was a serious tease! Show us more. September 8, 2011 1:03 AM
	Brian Maxim said: great! we manually scrolled the grid using the mouse_down event but am sure this will work better. Although things can get a bit awkward when you set instant opening editors in cells, so will be interesting to see how it handles this. September 8, 2011 4:42 AM

	christy pirumova said: what about zooming in/out just one frame of the form? i think it would be new and interesting September 9, 2011 4:56 PM
	Ray Navasarkian (DevExpress) said: vaskess P. I usually mean what I say :-) and in this case, I meant to say multi-touch. As busy as we are right now, I'll have the guys prep another video just so you can see multi-touch in action. Promise me when you see it, you'll let the world know about it :-) September 9, 2011 5:20 PM

	Marco Vicard said: This is a good feature. I think Devexpres has lost too much time to achieve it. Controls that do not support the Touch today have no sense. September 12, 2011 3:47 AM
	Ray Navasarkian (DevExpress) said: Zero - Touch will be supported in WPF. September 22, 2011 2:04 AM
