  • Can an xHarbour be touch screen capable?

    I have a warehouse app written in xHarbour. We are in the process of
    migrating this app from a dedicated hand-scanner to a Windows tablet
    device that is touch screen. Can an xHarbour app utilize touch
    screen?

    The application is menu driven. The normal way to select a menu
    option is either by using an arrow key to highlight the menu option
    and press enter, or key in the menu option number. It would be nice
    to just touch the menu option instead. Can this be done?

    Can you use the mouse to navigate menus?
    Touchscreens behave more or less like a mouse (hover effect apart), so
    the program must be mouse-aware.
