I’ve noticed that the Kanban widget works fine with a surface tablet and a mouse, but not so well with the touch interface or using the pen. Seems to work fine on Apple touch devices. The drag and drop with a surface is very hit and miss. It is very difficult to move cards around without a mouse. You can test the out on the demo site. Hopefully webix will update this widget to work with MS touch devices? Has anyone had any luck using a surface and touch with kanban?
Hello @ekrueger,
Webix initializes all the settings once, and at this moment turns on the desired mode. It’s impossible to track the change of mode after switching from mouse to gestures (or vice versa) on such device, so such problems may appear.
Our tests will take some time, but for the time being, as a possible solution, could you please try enforcing the touch behaviour on your device by running the following code:
webix.env.touch = true;
webix.ready(function(){
/*your code*/
});
This will ensure the correct behaviour for a touch-capable device. Please notify us whether or not the above initialization helped to alleviate the issue.
We put this in our code and turning on touch TURNS OFF mouse usage. The mouse no longer worked with touch is turned on.
Since the DnD in touch mode is started on long touch, the same (holding the click) is applicable for mouse events.
The general delay can be set as webix.Touch.config.longTouchDelay in milliseconds (1000 by default). This setting is used to distinguish actions (for example, scroll from DnD), so too short delay (most probably, under 400 ms) can cause more problems in touch environment.
