Mouseover tooltips on touch screen interface

Hi folks
My app makes extensive use of mouseover "tooltips", sometimes using a plugin, other times using the "title" tag directly. On busy pages this can be a very effective way to include useful extra information which is only visible when needed.
Of course, all of this useful information is inaccessible on touch screens, or non-mouse interfaces in general, along with right-click menus, I guess.
I would be grateful if anyone could advise whether there is an emerging standard or accepted technique to emulate mouseover events in a touch UI, which could realistically be implemented across the board for an app with clever use of templates and javascript or other arcane topics?
It would be a shame to have to adopt an entirely different approach which reduces functionality on a PC simply to maintain compatibility with the capabilities of other devices.
Regards
Chris

Yeah, this can be a problem.
Without putting too much thought into this, I think Touch Punch may help you (jQuery UI Touch Punch - Touch Event Support for jQuery UI), maybe. It's easy to try.
I think it wouldn't be hard to have a script that only runs on touch devices and enables touch events to trigger tooltips to show.
Thanks

Excel 2013 BeforeRightClick Event fails on Windows 8.1 Tablet (it's an Excel 2013 tablet touch screen interface bug)

I have developed customized table context menus in an Excel 2013 workbook on my Laptop. They work just fine on my laptop and my work desktop. But when I try to run them on my tablet PC the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event in Excel 2013 never fires. Other
worksheet events appear to work okay. I have fully reinstalled Office 2013 Pro and that does not make any difference.
I have read other comments regarding this same problem going back to 2013, but have never seen Microsoft respond to this issue. Nor have I been able to find a resolution. Has anyone else run into this and found a solution?
Additional Discoveries: Testing on my tablet shows that adding one custom CommandBarButton to either the top or the bottom of the default "List Range Popup" context menu causes the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event to fail. The basic context
menu commands still show up, but the default dropdown button for additional context menu commands disappears. The event is perhaps firing, but any customized code for the context menu is not being handled properly by Excel. This does appear to be a bug and
not a question of coding error. Perhaps someone else with a tablet PC running WIndows 8.1 could test this.
Based on comments
here this bug was introduced in Excel 2013 because others find the problem does not exist when using Excel 2010 on a tablet PC. Note that all the commenters on the linked thread that are experiencing this problem are using tablet PCs.
Update 3-13-15: I stand corrected. The Worksheet_BeforeRightClick does work on Excel 2013 Windows 8.1 tablets. I happen to own an Asus VivoTab Note 8, which comes with a Wacom stylus. If I use the Wacom sylus to right click on an Excel 2013 worksheet cell,
the Worksheet_BeforeRightClick event fires and modified context menu code runs just fine. But the code will not run if one uses their finger to right click a worksheet cell. This explains why this problem only shows up on tablet PCs. So the "bug"
introduced in Excel 2013 is a general user touch screen interface bug and not an Excel events programming bug.
Update 3-21-15: Switched to a Toshiba Protege laptop with touch screen. Same issue with finger touch screen interface on the Toshiba touch screen as with the Asus VivoTab touch screen.
Laptop: Toshiba Protege (with touch screen), Windows 8.1 64bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 32bit
Tablet: Asus VivoTab Note 8, Windows 8.1 32bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 32 bit
Desktop: Generic, Windows 7 64bit and MSOffice 2013 Pro 64bit

Hello Phil,
Command bars were deprecated and shouldn't be used any longer. Instead, you need to use the Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) instead. You can read more about the new UI in the following series of articles in MSDN:
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 1 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 2 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 3 of 3)
As a workaround you can add a custom control to the context
menu with the getEnabled or getVisible callback which will be invoked before the context menu is shown.

Flex for Touch Screen Interfaces

I am evaluating using Flex for the development of a couple of
touch screen kiosk projects. One major issue is the UI elements
like scroll bars. For both these projects, scroll bars are a design
necessity. (For better or for worse) Looking at the class
references it does not seem immediately clear that the scroll bars
can be modified in size. I do see that they can be skinned, but
there is no indication that I can go from the 16 px wide vertical
scroller to one say 48 px wide.
Any thoughts?

I believe you can. If you lookup the source code you can
change these constants, create your own libraries and use them. you
will have to learn FLEX beyond evaluating it to prove this out, but
it could be done. It's open source, but you need to check out the
type of license. You may be able to sell it as a proprietary
component.

Touch screen interfaces with CS 6

i have a Planar PX2230MW and CS6 photoshop will not interface. any help with newer drivers or nothing as of yet. the monitor will work with CS5.5

Photoshop does not have any special touch support. If there is special Photoshop support for your touch device its programmed into the touch devices device driver. It may be highly configureible for Photoshop. I have a Wacom Intuos 5 Tablet with 10 finger touch support. Wacom drivers can be configured for different running application. And there some special settings for Photoshop. The Intuos 5 is first of all a Pen tablet with pressure support. It also has express keys and ring. The Wacom configuration application can be use to program Express keys and ring support. Pen Support and touch support. Here is what my Photoshop configuration look like. Right now the touch support is limited to five finger touch. That may change.

Touch screen interface problems...

Heres the deal. I bought an iphone from a friend of mine. She bought the 3g. I've been using it for about a month and one section straight across the middle stopped working. I can't text, I can't delete. The phone is pretty much useless. I still have the original case, all paperwork. It even has the original screen protector on it. If I bring it back to apple will they replace or repair this since its obviously a known problem with the iphone or should I have my friend that originally purchased the iphone bring it back?
I've been an apple user for 7 years and I usually deal with the same people at the apple store so I'm just looking for some insight on how I should handle this.

Hey Tula,
Make sure there is nothing between your finger and the screen of the iPhone. Also make sure the screen of the iPhone is clean.
If the issue persists try restoring the iPhone. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744
If the restore does not resolve the issue, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius take a look at it or call AppleCare.

Using functional global variables to transfer data between touch screen device and other targets

Hi,
We are currently developing a control system that will operate on a cRIO with a touch screen interface. During development we have been using functional global variables (FGVs) to handle most of the settings/data etc, however we have just realised that we may have an issue updating the data on the touch screen, and vice versa.
Previously we have implemented similar programs using shared variables, however we were wondering if there is anyway to implement FGVs in a similar manner, whether it'd be a combination of FGVs and shared variables.
Regards,
Mike
Software version: Labview 8.2.1

See this thread on LAVA about sharing FGV's across projects. THis should be extendable to cross paltforms (I believe).
You also may want to concider an upgrade to LV 8.5.1. We have found a number of performance related issues with LV 8.2.1 and RT.
If you decide not to upgrade, just remeber what I wrote (above) when you have reason to question the performance.

Will an iMac mini and mountain lion work with a touch screen monitor?

I was wondering if Mountain Lion would work with a touch screen monitor. I have a project in mind and this is a key part to the equation. If any one could help this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I do Not know for certain, but from my understanding, touch screen interfaces require that the OS version used to drive them be "designed" from the beginning to operate within that environment. Obviously, at this point OS X has Not been designed to function that way (non of the Mac's using it work that way); although the mobile version, iOS 6, used in iPhones and iPads was indeed designed from scratch to operate that way. So one day sometime down the road it's possible that OS X too will share this ability. But not yet.
Hope this helps

Need advice for installing flex application in touch screen Kiosks

Hello,
We have a requirement in one of our project to create touch screen interfaces and I am intending to user Adobe Flex for the development and run them in Adobe Air because, definitely it saves development time and great look and feel.
However, I need advice on how to connect the application to a touch screen events like we do on Keyborad and mouse events like, click() or onFocus etc.
Please advice.
Best Regards,
Jai Kishan Shah

Bar Code Scanners are no different than keyboards in my experience. It just sends the text to whatever application is open. Integrating it with Flex requires no effort. You just have to be sure that Flex is the current application and the field you want to put the data in is given focus.
In a point of sale application with very specific use case and limited interface, it is easy to force the app to give focus to the input field that needs to accept your input.
Credit card swipers work the same way.
I don't know about a weighing scale, but I bet it is very similar. If not, you may want to use Java for scale integration and then use Merapi to integrate with the Java applet.

Has anyone used a touch screen monitor with scxi.I am having video lock ups while using LV and MAX

I have a PCI-MIO-16XE-50 daq card (dev1) connected to a scxi-1000 chassis address 0 ID 1, with a scxi-1102,1163,1163,1162 slots 1,2,3,4 respectively.Cable is connected to daq card to 1102 card .Micro touch screen is used on com2. Have tried other serial ports 1,5. Touch screen works fine with windows until LabView and max is installed .Video lockups,Max failures occur.MAX seems to confict with touch screen.

Max is the NI interface for all the drivers. It may be a specific driver that is causing problems, perhaps NI-VISA. I would try installing things one piece at a time. Might want to start by uninstalling everything so that you start with a clean system. First install LabVIEW with no drivers at all. See if the Micro touch screen still works. Then try installing NI-DAQ. Install each of the drivers you need one at a time. If you don't need something, leave it out.

How to activate a pen tablet on photoshop on a All-in-one computer [touch screen]?

I have a all in one computer touch screen- and I can use a pen tablet right on the screen, it's active- but when I go on PSCS6 and try to use the pen tablet, it is not active onto the screen- where do you go to activate it?? Can you?

That is the question I asked you. I think you will find that your display only functions as a touch device. My old Wacom Intuos 3 Tablet was just a tablet device. My new Intuos 5 Touch is both a Tablet and touch device. When the pen is in close proximity with the tablet surface touch is turned of and it functions as a tablet. The Wacom device driver has some Touch functions the can be configured to work with Photoshop. I could configure touch so I could finger paint in Photoshop. Photoshop does not have its own touch support and touch settings. If you can find a device driver for your displays touch feature that use wintab api. to support a pen interface you may have a chance,

Yoga 13 - Touch-screen swipe gestures CONSISTENTLY don't work first time

This is a consistent and very repeatable issue that I would really like to be resolved, and I know that it can be resolved.
Whenever I do a gesture from the side after not touching the screen for more than 4 seconds, it doesn't work. It instead registers it as a swipe on the screen near the edge. This is very annoying. It happens constantly.
I suspect this may be the result of a power-saving feature. Maybe the touch-screen turns off after a few seconds and needs to be awoken by tapping it before swiping in from the side. If this is the case, then please up the timer from 3 or 4 seconds to more like 30 or 60. This ruins the smooth flow of Windows 8, and I would really appreciate it if someone did something about it! The other problem with this is that if I'm watching a video full-screen in IE and it registers taps of the screen as a pause command, I can't open up the start menu or dock the app to the side without first pausing the video.
This is a significant driver problem that David Pierce brings up in his review of the product here, and it still hasn't been revolved after all this time.
Do I need to update drivers? I apologise if there's an update that I'm missing, but I didn't even see an appropriate driver on the driver page. None of them said anything about touch-screen.
I'm not even sure if developers read this forum, but could my fellow users at least tell me if they have the same problem.
Thanks,
Michael
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My Touch screen was also not very responsive and I did the below to fix it.
1) Go to Device Manager
2) Expand Human Interface Devices
3) Double click on the last USB input device listed
4) navigate to power management tab and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
This should fix the issue for the touch screen becoming unresponsive.

IPod Touch 1G "touch-screen freeze" after Wi-Fi connect (since 1.1.4) + log

Hi everybody,
I have a big problem with the touch-screen since approximately 2 months.
The problem is:
1. I turn on my iPod Touch 1G (Firmware 3.0), works
2. I activate my Wi-Fi (it connects, wi-fi bar is visible), works
Then the real problem starts (mainly while and after using Safari, sometimes even without using it)
After a few seconds the iPod freezes.
The strange thing is, only the touch-screen itself seems to be "deactivated"
If I leave the iPod calm for some minutes I am able to "unlock" it again.
All in all it seems, that the iPod deactivates the touch-screen after being connected to the Internet, because if I turn off the Wi-Fi connection, everything works fine.
This problem appeared since firmware 2.0 (1.1.3 worked fine i think) and now I have 3.0 and it is still the same problem.
Already downgraded, upgraded, jailbreaked, un-jailbreaked it. I tried everything.
Another solution to come to my Home-Screen is to Lock/Unlock a few times, sometimes this works.
I renewed the firmware more than once (10-15 times) and still do not ger rid of this problem. (Also in "recovery" mode)
Same thing with Youtube:
1. Starting Youtube
2. (If I am able to search a video) selecting a video
3. Video plays, but no touch-pad reaction anymore
I am not able to work with it anymore.
And I am sure it is a software problem, due to the fact the touch-screen reacts(!).
_A "forced restart" (Home + Lock Button hold for a few seconds) does not help, problem is still the same._
Thanks to everyone who has an idea.
I am happy about every kind of information which could help to solve this problem.
Greetings
Eimer
P.S. If you need some more information about the iPod e.g. do not hesitate to ask.
Here is my Log (out of the newest "iPhone Utility Program")

Has someone an idea how to get into the system of the iPod, that i am able to see what he is doing?
I already tried to works with XCode, but not able to connect to my device.
Also worked with the iPhone Utility, nevertheless a bit helpful.
Or a hint, how to destroy my actual firmware and to set up a new one, means setting up a completely (brand) new iPod like i bought it at the store?!
Support can not help me any more because my warranty is over ince 2 days.
Thank you

How do I set up photoshop to work with a touch screen?

Hi,
I just bought a 15.6" Asus Q500A touchscreen laptop with Windows 8. I downloaded photoshop and the 'touch app plug-ins' through the Adobe Application Manager for creative cloud. When I open a file in PS and select the brush(or any other) tool if I use the touch screen to drag it accross the canvas nothing happens. It still works with my mouse though.
How can I get this to work properly?

That does not surprise me. As I wrote Photoshop does not support Touch. It has supports for graphic tablets pens with wintab device drivers. It has support for mice and keyboards. No where do I see touch support documented in Photoshop manual. Here is a link to Photoshop manual search it for touch, http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/photoshop_reference.pdf The closest thing I found to touch support is the following:
========================================================================================== =======
Use the Rotate View tool
You use the Rotate View tool to rotate the canvas non-destructively; it does not transform the image. Rotating the canvas can be useful for any
number of reasons, including facilitating easier painting or drawing. (OpenGL is required.)
You can also use rotate gestures on MacBook computers with multi-touch trackpads.
1. In the toolbox, select the Rotate View tool . (If the tool isn’t visible, hold down the Hand tool.)
2. Do any of the following:
Drag in the image. A compass will indicate north in the image, regardless of the current canvas angle.
In the options bar, enter degrees in the Rotation Angle field. Click or drag the circular Set Angle of Rotation control.
3. To restore the canvas to the original angle, click Reset View.
For a video on the Rotate View tool and other workspace tips, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4001_ps. (Discussion of the Rotate View tool begins at the 5:10 mark.)
Disable trackpad gestures (Mac OS)
If you have a MacBook computer with a multi-touch trackpad, you can use the trackpad to flick, rotate, or zoom images. This functionality can
greatly increase your efficiency, but you can disable it if inadvertent changes occur.
1. Choose Photoshop > Preferences > Interface (Mac OS).
2. In the General section, deselect Enable Gestures
========================================================================================== ===========
My Wacom Intuos 5 Touch device driver has some touch support for some Photoshop features. I do not try to finger paint I use the Wacom pen for that. I also do not get the strange finger paint in Photoshop when I use my finger to move the mouse cursor with the Wacom Intuos 5 touch support. Starting outside an image window or inside one,
However if I add two finger support add tap to click I can finger paint and also use other tools. However I'm not into finger paint so I do not configure Touch support that way for Photoshop.

Yoga 13 touch screen stopped working after update KB3000850, please help!

Hi, my Yoga 13 touch screen has been working fine until yesterday. The laptop came with Windows 8, and last year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 without issue. Yesterday, I installed optional update KB3000850 from Windows Update, and immediately the touch screen stopped working. I have tried the following methods, all without success:
* Uninstall KB3000850 from Windows Update
* Use Windows Restore to restore to the point before yesterday
* Re-install Intel Chipset Driver from Lenovo official driver page
* In Device Manager, uncheck all the "allow system to turn off to save power" options for the USB input devices under Human Interface Devices then restart
* Two-button shutdown and restart
* Install Lenovo Driver Manager and let it check for new drivers
* Download Cando multi touch panel driver (Note: I could not install the driver because all I got was a .cab file which does not allow me to install)
As of now my touch screen is still not working. Computer Information page from Settings shows that there is no touch or pen device for my screen.
Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

Very true, this has been a known problem since the first day Lenovo released the Yoga 13.
I need to send Lenovo a bill for my time spent rebooting. So far i am on my 8th reboot. In the past, around 5 reboots after winddows update would work. This time... who knows.
Of course it always happens when you have a deadline.
Please post back if you have found a better soultion than system restore.
Thanks for posting this issue. More users need to bring this to Lenovo's attention.

Directory structure support and sluggish touch screen

I bought a Zen X Fi2. My expectations were high since I already had a creative some years ago. (I was quite pleased with the performance and sound quality etc)
However I am a bit dissapointed with Zen XFi2- The touch screen is not very successful. The scroll function does not work at a satisfactory level and sometimes (when I want to scroll), it makes a "selection" rather than "scrolling".
Also it does not support browsing with directory structure. For those people (like me) who are quite used to drag and drop type of copying for mp3 files, it is really a pain to re arrange all the songs for ID3 tag information.
I believe these two issues are software issues and can be improved by new firmware upgrade.
I also want to take this opportunity to tell that the software (interface software) that comes with the device is totally crap- I have never seen a software that tries to control the user rather than the user controlling the software. An ideal interface software for such a device should be the one which allows user to choose the songs from any directory, drag and drop into the device.
I was going to return my Zen however after playing around for a few days, I somewhat get used to its sluggish touch screen behaviour and accepted ID3 tag browsing (which still gives me a lot of problem) so right now I am gonna keep it.
May be software developpers can work on touch screen improvement, adding the support for directory structure browsing (as well as ID3 tag browser) and work on interface software a bit more ?
Thanks
Best Regards

This is indeed interesting because when you say "I don't have the problems you mentioned" I believe you also refer to the sensitivity of the touch screen. This makes me ask the question if my item has some problems. Since I do not have any means of cross checking this (apparently there is no other Zen XFi2 around me) may be I should ask you this question: "When you want to browse among albums for example, you wipe your finger across the screen so the screen rolls down; can you have it fluently like in an IPOD touch?- or does it not recognize immediately and you have to do it again sometimes?"
As for the volume button- I do indeed agree. For devices like this one; having physical buttons for at least volume, mute, stop/pause is a "must"! Choosing, browsing or starting a song is not a big deal however muting, stopping or changing the volume may be needed instantly from time to time. It is very unpractical to browse for volume, find it and adjust it!
Also may I add that for such a nice device, there should be a remote control on the headphone/earphone cable and should employ at least stop/play/mute/volume/forward/reverse buttons. I mean think about it for a while- why would you want to take use this device- apparently not to watch movies at home! You take it with you and listen to music, while cycling, jogging, skiing, roller blading etc. It is so difficult taking out the device from your pocket, browsing for volume button and turning up and down the volume (while cycling for example!) or skipping to next song with one touch!
Cheers
