jqWidgets does not working correctly on Windows touch devices. I tried Windows Phone and Windows RT. In demos on this site even combobox does not react on touches. If I added $.jqx.mobile.touchDevice = false, part of functionality started working, but there is still no touch scrolling. On tablets there is scrollbars, but phone browser missing it, so there is no way to scroll content.
Is there any workaround or fixes?Hi reptile,
jQWidgets is tested and works fine on Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 8.1.

http://www.jqwidgets.comTested on real phones? Because I tried on several WP devices – Lumias and ATIV S, WP8.1 and WP8.1 update 1 – touch not working. The same is on Surface 2 with Windows RT 8.1 update 1. Should I make a video?
Hi reptile,
Yes, we tested on real devices with the online demos. We have phones with Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 8.1. We also have tablets which run the full Windows version, not RT. We do not support the restricted RT versions. However, If you do not find the behavior of our widgets to be suitable for your app, you may look for and use something else. Of course, we will continue improving our software in the future versions.

http://www.jqwidgets.comMore tests:
1) WP – click to combo – OK, touch scroll in combo dropdown – not working, touch scrolling inside splitter with ‘overflow: auto’ for content divs – not working, touch scrolling inside splitter in jqxpanel – OK, touch zoom over splitter – not working
2) Windows RT (and I think, the same is for Windows 8.1 on tablets) – click not working, touch scroll not working. With $.jqx.mobile.touchDevice = false – click working, touch scroll inside splitter not working, both with native browser scrolling and jqxpanel.
3) jqxpanel scrollbar ignores window size changes in desktop browser.Hi reptile,
1. jqxSplitter’s overflow auto scrolling does not depend on jQWidgets logic because we do not implement any scrolling there. It is browser built-in scrolling with overflow: auto.
2. This is not true. Windows 8.1 and Windows RT are different things and as I wrote we do not support RT. $.jqx.mobile.touchDevice – why do you set this at all? Do you make a desktop simulator for testing? If you do, set it. If you don’t, then don’t set it.
3. If the panel’s size is in percentages, nothing is ignored.Best Regards,

http://www.jqwidgets.com1. This behavior is only seen over jqwidget controls. Try it yourself.
2. “$.jqx.mobile.touchDevice – why do you set this at all?” – because without it even click not working in RT. And, of course, I set it only for RT.
3. OK, it’s working, thanks.And what about touch zoom on WP?
Hi reptile,
I believe Zooming depends on whether the widget is scrollable or not. However, as I already wrote, If you do not find the behavior of our widgets to be suitable for your application, you might look for something else which behaves better for your application. Of course, we will continue improving our software in the future versions. We will also add support for RT in a future update.
Have a nice day.

http://www.jqwidgets.comNo, zoom is not working on WP, even if content of widget is scrollable. Try your own jqxPanel demo – zoom touching outside panel working, inside – not.
And, can you hide scrollbars in jqxPanel on touch devices, like mobile browser do?No, you can’t hide the scrollbars of jqxPanel.

http://www.jqwidgets.com“No, you can’t hide the scrollbars of jqxPanel.” – It wasn’t a question, it was a suggestion.
Ok, reptile. Sorry, I missed that.

http://www.jqwidgets.comHi guys.
Has there been any further development on this issue?
I can confirm that although your components work on a lowly Nokia Lumia 520 running WP8 they are dead as a do-do on my Nokia Lumia 1020 running WP8.1
I started building a proof of concept using your grid component but once I deployed it and checked on my phone I found to my horror it was unresponsive!
I have checked your mobile demos and can confirm the same problems exist there; grid, combos and other components which require scrolling etc don’t work at all on my WP8.1 device.I will try to find other WP8 and/or WP8.1 devices to check. What Windows device do you test with?
Hi DAGGOT,
Unfortunately, we cannot reproduce such issue with the current version of jQWidgets.

http://www.jqwidgets.comHave you guys tried it with a Nokia phone running Windows 8.1?
Where does that leave us? Is this something you guys will investigate further?
