Support for mobile controls

My team is currently using animation containers as menu popups in our web app, which will need to work on both desktop and mobile devices in a web browser. For the mobile layout, I would like to be able to open animation containers via swipe gestures. I understand that animation containers are not strictly menus, however, I would love to see swipe action support in Telerik UI for Blazor, and then be able to bind that action to an animation container.

The only framework I have found by way of example is https://onsen.io/. Please observe how it is possible to open a panel by swiping close to the edge of the sample device on their homepage.

This feature would make it much easier to build dynamic web apps that perform well on desktop and feel native on mobile devices as well.

Thank you,

David

Hi David,

Thank you for your patience here! I've discussed this request with the team. We consider that support for mobile controls and general swipe gestures is vast topic and can be treated as different variety of functionalities depending on one's perspective. That said, if we treat such request as a whole, it is possible to miss some desired behavior. So, we'd rather focus on considering specific swiping functionalities to make sure we meet the exact community requirements in terms of swipe gestures.

We are looking into the possibility to implement a Swipe Menu component or have something like this as an enhancement for another component (ListView, for example). The purpose of such component will be to provide option for users when they do a swipe gesture (left or right) on mobile devices to reveal contextual actions. I just logged it publicly, so you and any other interested parties may look at the list of functionalities we are considering. We also want to see what is the demand for such a component/feature and gather any possible feedback from the community. You may check the item here:

Swipe Menu Component/Feature

You've mentioned that you are using animation containers in your application. Would you consider such Swipe Menu component a good fit for your scenario? Are you using these animation containers to display some additional options to the users that they can choose from?
