Using touch
With the C5t/F5t Tablet PC, you can use either your finger, a pen, or both to interact with the
touchscreen display. While it’s convenient to use your finger most of the time, a pen gives
you more precise control for adding information to your application, editing a document, or
drawing graphics.
With touchscreen displays, you use your finger or pen as you would use a mouse. For
example, tapping twice is the same as double-clicking a mouse. Tapping and holding is the
same as right-clicking a mouse to open context-sensitive menus.
Here are some common ways to perform tasks on a touchscreen:
•
Tap
—Select something
•
Press and hold
—Open a menu of options. This is equivalent to right-clicking a mouse to
display the right-click menu. Press and hold your finger until a circle appears, then lift
your finger to display the menu.
•
Double-tap
—Perform a double-click action
•
Tap and drag
—Drag and drop
•
Pinch fingers together
—Zoom out
•
Spread fingers apart
—Zoom in
•
Flick
—Scroll through a list or move quickly
•
Press and hold the pen’s function button
