  • 1.  Touchscreen used with SoftPanel and DashBoard

    Posted 09-08-2013 19:55
    I am running SoftPanel and DashBoard on a Lenovo Touchscreen PC with Windows 8.

    Everything works as expected when using the mouse.

    However the touchscreen requires two touches per button to press it. The first touch selects/highlights the button like hovering the mouse pointer over it. The second touch presses it like clicking it with the mouse.

    It really gets messy with a third touch to another button to select it that often also clicks the previous button. This makes navigation of the softpanel impossible.

    Has anyone experienced this type of response from their touchscreen hardware?

    Is it just a problem with my the Lenovo touchscreen hardware/Windows 8 drivers?

    What touchscreen hardware do you guys at Ross use?

    If someone can recommend a touchscreen PC that works better I would appreciate it.

    Are you running in windows 7 compatibility mode? We have not yet done testing of windows 8 so not really sure if it is a windows 8 compatibility issue.

    Usually with applications you can set them to run in compatibility mode. I would give that a try.
