Touch Controls Suite 1.5 - finger-based UI controls for Windows Mobile

Touch Controls Suite is an innovative component suite from mirabyte that allows software developers to create graphically stunning and highly intuitive user interfaces (UI) for Windows Mobile Smartphone applications that are based on the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework (.NETCF). The latest version 1.5 adds many new controls and brings even better performance.

One of the major disadvantages of the Windows Mobile operating system is the fact that the user interface controls (such as menus, buttons, lists, etc.) are stylus-oriented but not optimized for finger-based interaction. Creating a finger-based UI requires a lot of technical knowledge. And due to performance issues, developers that write their applications on the easy to use .NETCF platform with languages such as C# or VB.NET are not able to instantly create modern looking applications that have a finger-based UI as previously seen on other platforms such as Apple iPhone.

mirabyte now offers a new control suite that also gives .NETCF developers the power to easily create stylus-free user interfaces: The core component of Touch Controls Suite is TouchListBox, a flexible multipurpose list control that can be used for any kind of menus, lists or item viewers. The component also provides modern animation and transition effects which are powered by the kinetic scrolling engine that creates a realistic behavior of the UI. Apart from the TouchListBox control, the suite also consists of additional controls that can be used to create multi-button menus or status indicators. All components are fully customizable concerning the look and feel and support alpha bitmaps for full skinning capabilities. The component suite is continually being enhanced with further components and features. The Touch Controls Suite currently consists of the following components: TouchListBox, TouchPictureBox, TouchPictureButton, TitleBar, ButtonBar, DoubleBufferdLabel

A free trial version of Touch Controls Suite which includes a fully programmable version of Touch Controls Suite as well as both simple and complex demo applications in C# and VB.NET is available on the mirabyte Website.

A license of Touch Controls Suite costs 49.95 EUR and is available on the mirabyte Website.
