Hi All,

Just a query to see how others may handle a certain situation in an Appeon Mobile App.

We have developed an App for use on Mobile Phones and Tablets.  Once the users login they can view a list of records in their system.  This datawindow list is scrollable and like a mobile app the users can click a row to drill into the records.

In some cases, if the device is sluggish when scrolling or users have big fingers, the user may end up drilling into records by accident while trying to scroll.  Does anyone have a suggestion how to allow full row clicks without accidental drill down if the scrolling sluggish?

I could restrict the drill down click to a button on the row, but I would rather allow then click the full row if possible.

Thanks for any help

Michael

Not sure what events might be available in a mobile environment, but you could consider the lbuttondown and lbuttonup events instead of the clicked event

Capitalizing on Mike S's excellent answer:

 - Another option would be to display a messagebox when the click is next to the scrollbar:  "Do you want to view the details of this order?  Y/N".

 - Ideally, the option to ignore a click next to the scrollbar or to get a verification messagebox would be a user option in the app.

check the clicked field to see if what was clicked is visually next to the scrollbar, and if so ignore the click.
