[Interest] Context menu and touch

[Agocs Laszlo]

Hi,

If you are only interested in widget apps (not Qt Quick 2), launch the app with -platform windows:mousefromtouch. This should restore the OS-provided tap-and-hold -> right click translation.

This is handled better in 5.3. There the OS provided touch - mouse translations should work  out of the box. (not for Quick 2, though)

More information in https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34263 and the linked tickets.

Best regards,
Laszlo

Subject: [Interest] Context menu and touch

Hi,

We've recently updated an application from MSVC Qt4.5.4 to MinGW Qt
5.2.0 and a tester noticed that they could no longer activate the
context menu of when using the Windows long hold feature. In our
testing we also found the same thing and that double click doesn't
work.

According to the documentation if we do not handle touch events they
get converted into mouse events by default using the attribute
Qt::AA_SynthesizeMouseForUnhandledTouchEvents.

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qt.html#ApplicationAttribute-enum

I've created a little test application which works perfectly with the
mouse but with a touch screen (using Window 7) the context menu fails
to trigger and the same with the double click:

https://bitbucket.org/phannent/qt5_test_contextmenu_touch/src

1, Has anybody experienced this?
2, Can anybody test this with their own kit?
3, Was there any expected change in terms of touch with Qt5?

Regards
Phil Hannent
