Using Touch Support with InputMan Cells
Spread Windows Forms 12.0 Product Documentation > Developer's Guide > Using Touch Support with the Component > Using Touch Support > Using Touch Support with InputMan Cells

You can use touch support with GcDateTime and GcTextBox cells.

You can tap side buttons in the cells to change the cell values.

Using Code

The following example creates side buttons for GcDateTime cells and a GcTextBox cell. The DropDownOpening event has a ByTouch property that returns whether the drop-down button was opened with a touch gesture.
