Activating touch-enabled controls in JavaFX

Question

I want to use the touch-enabled controls described in http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/user-interface-tutorial/embed.htm. I\'m building my application on a Windows 8

Answer 1

There should not be a need to enable these capabilities, but JavaFX decides by itself if they are supported. You can query the capabilities programmatically, e.g. by PlatformImpl.isSupported(ConditionalFeature.INPUT_TOUCH).
