Load Menu on a Touch Screen

In case TimeXpress is installed on a laptop or a Microsoft Surface device with Touch Screen support, to load a menu using a Touch Screen Pen of a Finger, simple select the grid or list, then gently keep the Touch Screen Pen or the finger pressed for a second, that will load the menu.

TimeXpress provides touch support. The functionality is built on top of our Touch Manager framework which provides the needed extensibility and the ability for each of the specific controls in the application to support only the needed for it gestures.
