Multitouch in ListBox

Question

What is the easiest way to implement simple scrolling of a ListBox with one finger on a multi-touch device? I mean touching a listbox item and scrolling it a few rows up or down.

Thanks,

Leszek

Thanks Khanna. I've found some info on multitouch in one WPF book (Pro WPF in C# 2010 by Matthew MacDonald):

"Built-in element support: some elements already react to multitouch events, with no code required.  For example, scrollable controls such as the ListBox, ListView, DataGrid, TextBox, and ScrollViewer support touch panning."

Is it really that simple - no code required? (I don't have a multitouch device handy to test it).

Thanks,

Leszek

Answer 3

Yes most of the WPF control support multitouch events. You can use Multitouch simulator available on codeplex to test multitouch application without having device.

I'm aware of this emulator. The problem is that I still use WinXP as a development environment. AFAIK, the MultiTouchVista won't work on WinXP. Oh well, it seems I will need to get a real device to see how multitouch works with WPF ListBox.
