Touch support

Since version 4.2 and upper, the DHTMLX Diagram library provides the built-in Touch support that should work out of the box.

note

Check the example in our Snippet Tool to try out the functionality on your touch devices.

While interacting with applications by touching the screen, a tap becomes the same thing as a mouse click. Thus, the click events (fire on clicking, double clicking an item) will continue working on touch-screen devices. But note, that the mouseover events will not trigger.

Touch support enables recognition for the following touch gestures:

  • Double Tap - to edit the text of a shape/group/swimlane; to create and edit the text of a connector line
  • Press, Hold, and Drag - to call blockSelection and select several items
  • Drag - to drag a shape/group/swimlane; to drag a shape/text/group/swimlane from the left panel of the editor
