Touch Controls Suite 2.0 (.NETCF) for Windows Mobile

Easily create great looking, finger-based UI for Windows Mobile devices with C# or VB.NET!

Touch Controls Suite 2.0 is the leading component suite 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).

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.

NEW: Touch Controls Suite 2.0 supports .NET Compact Framework AND the "full" .NET Framework and can therefore be used for creating both mobile and desktop applications (e.g. for Windows 7) with touch screen support!
