[QUOTE="Tamara, post: 987644, member: 125355"] [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]Hi,[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]instead of using Keyboard or mouse I decided to install a [B]touchscreen[/B]. So fare everything is perfect, the screen itself is placed on my sideboard so I can control my Music-PC very easily and having a fanart slideshow the same time.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]There is one thing I tried to figure out but could not find any solution ye. tAt this moment Mediaportal and a touch screen won’t cooperate very well.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]Let me give you an example:[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]Using an remote control or mouse you just place the cursor over any bottom or folder and it will be highlighted – nothing else. If you want this folder to be opened or file to be played you have to press the ok button on your remote control, the enter-key or just click once. That is how it should be - as long as you will not use a touch screen.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]This behavior makes it complicated to use a touch screen because as soon as you touch an item in order to select or mark it, it will be opened or start immediately.

That makes it almost impossible to select items easily. [/COLOR][/FONT] [B][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]Is there any way to change xml or something else so Mediaportal takes a single click not as an input acknowledgment like hitting the enter key or doing a double-click? [/COLOR][/FONT][/B] [FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]Mediaportal should behave like that: pointing on an item on the touch screen (single click) just will highlight it, doubleclicking will execute it.
