Touching the Future
Bernardo Castilho, Chief Technology
Officer
It seems everywhere you turn these days the word touch
comes up. When I was a kid, I recall being told not to
touch everything. Now "Touch" is part of our everyday
lives, whether you have a touch-enabled mobile device or
not. From checking in at an airport kiosk to ordering
food to go, touch is now ubiquitous. It amazes me to see
toddlers navigating around touch devices with ease and
their expectation that every device is touch enabled.

So how do we combine what we know, with what is or
may be expected of us and our apps in this next chapter
of our lives? Adapt, that is the answer and it applies
to the business we are in as well.
With the 2013 v2.5 release of Studio Enterprise, ComponentOne makes it easier
to adapt to this changing environment with the introduction of TouchToolkit for
WinForms. I remember how remarkable touch interaction felt when I first
encountered it - I hope you feel the same way when you try TouchToolkit for
WinForms. The first of its kind in the industry, this cutting edge toolkit
allows you to enable touch and gesture support for your entire application
without jumping through hoops.

standard toolset does not meet your needs, you have the
option of purchasing a 3rd party component suite.
This article discusses the steps you need to take and
aspects to consider during the process of choosing the
right suite for your application.
