Syncfusion^® ASP.NET MVC controls support touch (bigger theme) and normal size modes. Below topics explains how to enable the same in your application.

Size mode for application

You can enable touch mode (bigger theme) for an application by adding .e-bigger class in the ~/Content/Site.css file and assign to the body element in the ~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml page.

~/site.css
.e-bigger {
    font-size: x-large;
}

~/_Layout.cshtml
<body class="e-bigger">...</body>

Size mode for a Control

You can enable touch mode (bigger theme) for ASP.NET MVC controls by adding .e-bigger class and assign to the div which contains the control.

CSHTML
<div class="e-bigger">
   @Html.EJS().Calendar("calendar").Render()
</div>

<div class="e-bigger">
    @Html.EJS().Button("element").Content("Button").Render()
</div>

<div class="e-bigger">
    @Html.EJS().CheckBox("default").Label("Checked").Checked(true).Render()
</div>

<style>
    .e-bigger {
     font-size: x-large;
    }
</style>

Change size mode for application at runtime

You can change the size mode of an application between touch and normal (mouse) mode at runtime by adding and removing the .e-bigger class.

Follow the below steps to change the size mode for an application at runtime.

1.Add the e-bigger CSS class in the ~/Content/Site.css file.

~/site.css
.e-bigger {
    font-size: x-large;

2.Refer to the following code for adding control and the JavaScript click action inside the script tag of ~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml file to switch between touch and mouse mode using e-bigger class.
