Alert responds to basic touch events as follows:
On Series 40 devices, a non-modal timed Alert is closed on touch down and release on the Alert. On Symbian devices, a non-modal timed Alert is
closed on touch down and release anywhere on the screen.
If an Alert is modal and has at least one
softkey associated with it, only touch down and release on the softkey
closes the Alert. This also applies to a modal timed Alert.
If an Alert has multiple commands assigned
to it, touch down and hold on the Alert opens a pop-up
menu containing the commands. The pop-up menu corresponds to the context-specific Options menu of non-touch devices.
Alert supports a scrollbar:
On Series 40 devices, a scrollbar is always shown, even when the content does not need scrolling. The scrollbar is purely informational and therefore non-interactive. Dragging or flicking the content scrolls it.
On Symbian devices, a scrollbar is shown only when the content needs scrolling. The scrollbar is touch-enabled. Dragging the scrollbar scrolls the content.
