LabVIEW in Touch Screen Environment

Hi team,

 

We are working on a project that should run on an touchscreen monitor. Can you please comment on these 2 points?

 

  1. What is the difference between using the normal LabVIEW for development of a Touchscreen application VS using Touchpanel Module (given that only the UI needs to be big & there is no other special functionality)?
  2. Also there are some features like Natural scrolling wherein the user can click anywhere on a control and scroll through it (like scrolling through messages in mobile) which is NOT supported in LabVIEW controls like Tree/List/Array, as much as I observed. So making the scrollbar visible becomes a must. Am I correct and Is there any way to override this behavior? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Here it does not scroll unless clicked on the scrollbar & for this the scrollbar should be always visible.

I believe that the touchpanel module contained the deployment code for deploying to various NI TPC hardware along with some controls and indicators that were compatible with WinCE since some of the targets used that OS.

 

 I have used several touch panel computers and tablets without ever needing the touch panel module, just standard functionality.

 

For scrolling you could take a look at SWISH, https://forums.ni.com/t5/SWISH-The-Free-Touchscreen/Swish-source-code/gpm-p/3507562

I had a look at this when Thoric first released it, but haven't revisited it since, not sure how much further the development went.
