Good morning to everyone.
I have a project that requires running on a 27 inch touch screen in portrait.
The application will accept orders and send them through web services to an ERP.
For this implementation I have all the tools for sending the orders.
But I do not know how the following can be done:
- Large icons in the Main Frame of the application.
- Some extra tools for implementing touch procedures.
- Any settings for running in 27 inch Portrait monitor.
Thanks in advance

For large icons I would open a new procedure/window directly from frame and use images as large icons (and implement “activeimage” function).
Touch should work nicely in win10, I have a “touch” app on a windows tablet, works just nice. I did however add manually a procedure for entering numbers (I’ve created my own numeric keypad on-screen) so that the original windows keyboard does not pop-up.
Other than that you should be ok.
I guess it depends on what you want the touch to do. If you require multi-touch, you’d probably have to do extra stuff to support it.

I have the below example on GitHub replacing List Icons with a WingDing and Style. Since the WingDing is a Font it scales smoothly to any size so you can have large check boxes for touch.
Example of large Style Check on the left versus bitmap Icon on the right:
The main reason I wanted “Style Icons” was to not have .ICO files needed by a Class Window List. There are a good number of characters that work for check boxes:

I wonder what could be done about WingDings if running on a client that does not have WingDings (e.g., running on Android through Anyscreen)
Thank you Carl for your Help. It’s an idea that maybe works on me because the client is a windows 10 machine.
No problem, use class to load fonts dynamically, I do that in few apps so I am not dependant on client win config
