You can use touch support gestures and the touch menu bar or toolbar with drag and fill.

Select a range. Tap the range to display the touch menu bar. Tap the AutoFill menu item to display the drag fill handle at the bottom-right edge of the selected range. Press and slide the handle to drag and fill the range. The AllowDragFill property must be true to display and use the drag fill handle.

The following image shows the Drag Fill Drop Down Context Menu:

Using Code

This example adds the drag fill icon to the touch menu bar.

  1. Set the AllowDragFill property to true.
  2. Create a new touch strip button and separator in the TouchStripOpening event.
  3. Create an image for the new button.
  4. Add the new items to the touch strip.
  5. Create and use an event to display the auto fill indicator.
