Touch screen displays may not be new in concept. For years we've been watching staff in restaurants tapping away at screens and tapping our own Pocket PC screens. However, touch on an average PC is something we're all learning about. One thing we know is that fingers are bigger than a stylus and need a larger target area.
In his Optimizing your Mobile .NET 3.0 WPF Application for a UMPC or Touch-enabled PC sample code, Todd Landstad included a header bar that you can use in your applications. Todd wrote, "In looking at the Origami Experience product that Microsoft ships on UMPC's, I created a 'headerbar' in XAML with some C# back-end code to provide my user with information about the system. The information is comprised of items that add value to a mobile user: Battery status, network connection status and system time/date."
