When will the Listbox support multi-touch?

 Is there a way I can enhance the control to support it? 

Hi.  I would appreciate any clarification for my original question.

Thanks.

Hi Jaime,

I apologize for the delay. The developer that knows this product best was on vacation until this week, so it took me longer to get an answer.

We do want to port the ListBox towards the Phone SDK, and by doing this we will have to implement touch support and gesture support for scrolling, navigating and using the buttons and controls that are part of our default template.

So yes, it is in our plans, however we do not yet have a date in mind as to when it will be available, but it is one of our priorities.

However, you mention multi-touch. We do not think that we will implement anything in regards to having multiple touch points. There will therefore not be support for zoom in/out.

As to doing this yourself, we would recommend the following blog post:

You could therefore subscribe to the Touch event and pass the ListBox Panel as reference point in order to track the touch points and scroll the ListBox, etc.

As for the interaction with the buttons and controls that are part of the ListBox, you might have to derive from those controls and change the control template of those we use for the corresponding derivation, also listening to the touch event, but in a more specific manner.

Thanks for the prompt response.Unfortunetly, this was not the answer I wanted to hear :)

I appreciate the articles. I will try to implement my own solution.

Thanks again,

Jaime. 

I found that it is possible to add some basic touch panning support by modifying the Xceed ListBox PanningMode. It kind of works, though the animation is a bit choppy. I suspect it is fighting the Xceed ListBox to do the animation.
