Gesture

Description

Tap

The tap gesture is used to select or highlight an item, such as a riser, and show its tooltip (analogous to pausing the mouse over an object).

Long touch

Touching and holding an item, such as a riser, is used to trigger a drop-down menu on events that support it (analogous to a single mouse click).
