Touchscreen behaviour via RDP

loungebob

User here, no programmer. Just something I experience every day while working with Apps that use QT5, like Musicbrainz Picard for example.

When using my iPhone to connect to my desktops and servers via RDP client in touchscreen mode, only apps that use the QT5 framework cannot be controlled as expected. For instance, when trying to scroll (up/down/sideways), there is no scrolling but things get "marked" or "highlighted". This can be used to scroll up and down but it is very inconvenient and confusing.

Since this happens with all Apps I use that use QT, I assume this is a QT implementation thing maybe?

Or can I do something on my end to change this behaviour. All other apps work just fine in this situation.

Newest iOS, newest RDP for iOS client. Up to date windows 10.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Can you give the exact application you are using on your device ?
How do you setup RDP on Windows ?
What are the parameters you are using on the device ?

there is something like QScroller::grabGesture( m_tableWidget, QScroller::TouchGesture ) missing in the code for touch screen

I heard somewhere else, that something like that is missing (not implemented). But it all goes way over my head lol.

Seriously? I have to wait 10 minutes to post a 2nd time? I hate spammers, they ruin the net.

One thing you can check is the bug report system.

It would be good to determine which version of Qt the applications you are having troubles with are using.

"The current 2.6.3 for Windows uses Qt 5.15.3." been told.

Checked through all the bug reports re: RDP, none of them fit my scrolling thing.

5.15.3 means a commercial LTS release, they should leverage that and check with the Qt Company.
