I am developing a Blackberry PlayBook application using Flash Builder 4.6 on a Windows 7, x64 machine. I have installed the Blackberry SDK and generally can test my application with one catch - Rotate Left and Rotate Right options from the menu are grayed out. I don't have the actual tablet (and purchasing one is not a solution) so there is absolutely no way for me to test how the app behaves in the Portrait mode.
Perhaps the problem is the fact that my resolution is 1280x800 without any way to make it bigger (I had expected I'd be able to do this and would just activate the peculiar desktop scrolling mechanism). Is there any solution to this problem?
You can rotate the Playbook emulator in VMWare Player (I use Win 7, 64bit too) - by pulling its black corner with the mouse.
You can check portrait as well as landscape mode both in VMWare simulator.
Playbook OS is designed in that manner to support development on both resolutions , if you have 1280 x 800 resolution you can access right most part by using scroll bar in Vmware tool.
BB Playbook os is designed with some predefined features. like in bottom if you use gesture from left most bottom to right , it will open virtual keyboard , & if you will do the same from right most bottom to left , just like swipe down event . it will change the orientation to landscape to portrait or vice versa.

Since Xcode 9 came out the simulator scale is disturbed. Here there is not any option of scaling further to 100% on some simulators and sometimes I am unable to switch to 100 % scale at all.
After searching on net I found out that sometimes if zooming doesn't work I need to do following to get it 100% zoom.
Uncheck Window -> Show Device Bezels
Click Window -> Zoom
Check Window -> Show Device Bezels
Is it something that I am missing to scale it further if I want to or current Xcode doesn't support further scaling at all.
Just drag the corner of the simulator window.
Chromium has this feature Device Mode, and interaction is how it would be on a touch device.
I've tried Safari's Responsive Design Mode, but I don't see a way to emulate touch (without pointer events). It just behaves like I'm using a mouse, but I'd like for it to behave like I'm touching the screen on a mobile device (like in Chrome's inspector).
You can install Apple xCode. After installation, search Simulator through Spotlight.
With Simulator you can open Safari and simulate yours websites with touch control.
You can't. When using Safari on desktop in responsive mode your mouse will only generate mouse events.
Maybe a better solution for your use case than using the Simulator is to use Chrome desktop. When using the dev tools in device mode it will emulate tap events.
I have a WPF application that includes a screen that users can scroll up and down. It has a scroll viewer control which provides a scroll bar and you can also scroll up and down using touch to drag the content up or down. This all works fine on all of my PCs, laptops and tablets and on most of my clients laptops and tablets.
However, I have one client who can only scroll the form up and down using the scroll bar. Using touch to drag and drop the contents of the form does not work.
I have seen this before on another tablet and we found that by installing all of the Windows updates the problem was resolved. However, on this tablet Windows is saying there are no more updates and the problem still exists.
The tablet is a Linx 10 that had Windows 10 on it from the start - it's not an upgrade. My hunch is that it needs the relevant Windows update but that Windows isn't reporting it as a required update.
Has anyone experienced this and identified what files/updates are needed to resolve it?
Just to re-iterate the application works fine on most PCs and tablets, so I don't think it's a basic coding problem which is why I haven't included any code.
I am working on a wpf touchscreen application for a tabletop monitor. The monitor is a 46" 3M monitor. All the touch responses seem to work fine until someone touches the lower edge of the screen, then it appears to hang. No button responses or drag options work until the finger or hand is moved. I think it has something to do with the touch being in the region of the taskbar even though the taskbar itself does not appear.
The program does not hang if the user touches the side or top in the same way or even if they place their entire hand in the middle of the screen.
Since this is a tabletop monitor, it is very common for a user to lean on the monitor and unknowingly touch the lower edge with their hand.
It appears that this is a bug related to Windows 7 and multitouch drivers for Windows 7. I can reliably reproduce this bug with Windows 7 with a multitouch display and a bezel flat enough to have touch contact on the lower edge.
Using the same program and multitouch display with Windows 8, the problem does not occur.
I am working on a Silverlight based Windows Phone application that only supports landscape orientation. However, when I hit F5 to debug it, the emulator always starts in portrait mode.
Is there a way to set this to default to landscape?
As far I'm aware it is not possible, but is this a big problem? Remember you don't need to close the emulator while you stop debuging - it can stay on landscape mode and VS will connect to it.
