Mouse events triggered on touch

In a multi-touch application, looks like the mouse events are triggered also on touch, so there is no way to detect if it was a cursor mouse down or a touch screen touch begin. Is this the case?
Thanks, chr

Hey Vishal,
What version of the cwgraph are you using? I tried the following program with CWGraph version 7.1 and I did not receive mouse events for the invisible plot.
CWGraph1.PlotY (y)
CWGraph1.Plots(1).Visible = False
CWGraph1.TrackMode = cwGTrackAllEvents
I also tried the PlotMouseMove event and I received this event if the plot was visible and didn't if it was invisible. This event was a lot easier to test. It's hard to click on an invisible plot. Did you see the same behavior with PlotMouseMove?
There are some known issues with invisible plots in earlier versions of Measurement Studio. Please see link below. If you are using an old version then I would assume this is the problem.

Mouse Events on iOS Touch Devices

I've noticed that mouse events like CLICK and MOUSE_DOWN work on the iPhone and iTouch devices. Is there a down side to using Mouse events instead of the Gesture and touch events?

Touch to Mouse events conversion

Hi Everybody!
Does anybody know how correctly fire mouse events to Oracle Maps in javascript?
Default translation touch events in iPad Safari does not quite fit. It try zoom or pan browser window, not map. :(
If catch touch events and disable default translation I can zoom and pan MVMapView object.
But how fire "click","mousemove","mouseover" events on Map? I need dispatch event to ThemeBasedFOIs (InfoWindow Popup and other listeners)?

Yes. The Oracle Maps tutorial contains examples (the tutorial can be found in your mapviewer deployment
e.g. http://localhost:7001/mapviewer/fsmc/tutorial/index.html) and documentation in the API reference
(e.g. http://localhost:7001/mapviewer/fsmc/apidoc/index.html). Look at MVEvent and the attachEventListener function of MVMapView, MVThemeBasedFOI, and MVFOI classes for example.

How to disable the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function?

The problem is as follows.
The default behaviour of Acrobat Reader (both stand alone and browser plug-in) is to allow scrolling/swiping with the mouse wheel/trackpad. This is useful when the pdf's page length is greater than the screen's own length, because you can read the pdf with no need to distract your attention from the text to the scrollbar button. However, the same scroll/swipe function turns into a usability problem when the pdf is embedded in a html page and the pdf's page length is smaller than the browser's length. In this case, the scroll/swipe turns the page, distracting your attention from the text to the unintended behaviour of the browser. What happens is that you are so used to scrolling/swiping that you did it unintentionally in the pdf's caption area. You really did not want to turn pages in the pdf. Furthermore, if the pdf takes the whole html page, being a website, the scroll/swipe function flips the website pages in ways that neither the reader nor the writer had ever intended. Hence the question. How to disable, in this case, the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function? A JavaScript should do, but the SDK documents did not help so far...

Bug in scrollbar event triggering?

In LabVIEW 8.6, I am trying to fire an event when I finish moving the scrollbar of an array indicator. I use the "mouse up" event to avoid having the event structure fire constantly the entire time I am moving the scrollbar. However, there seems to be a bug (?) in the event detection. It works fine as long as I have the mouse on top of the scrollbar when I release it. However, Win XP allows you to continue to move the scrollbar even if the mouse is off to the left or right of the bar (when you click on the scrollbar it "locks" the focus onto it). However, LabVIEW does not seem to realize this and if I have the mouse slightly off to the right of the scrollbar when I release, the event doesnt fire. LV seems to base the event off of whether the mouse is on top of the pixels of the indicator rather than whether I still have control of the scrollbar.

Technically it is not a bug. There is no event triggered because when you do the Mouse Up, you are no longer on the scrollbar. Unfortunately, the behavior in Windows that allows you to continue to move the scrollbar even when you aren't on it is conflicting with the desire to detect when you let go of the scroll bar.
There was a recent thread discussingthis very issue and a way to get the behavior you are looking for.

In java, I have seen, mouse events are only triggered if we move mouse inside a container. But is it possible to catch a mouse event when mouse is not on our container?

Resolved: The Install Badge requires a mouse event (?)

Edit:
I came across this page which specifies that the restriction of installing only within the context of user event handler is by design. Nuts.
===
Hi,
I've recently tweaked our application's install badge thru the fla provided with the sdk. All works well but apparently, calling the function installApplication from the loaded air.swf has no effect if the caller is not in the context of a mouse event handler. A Flash mouse event handler, that is, since calling from a js mouse event handler has no effect.
Without this restriction, it would be easy to use air.swf as an installation engine, keeping all the UI in html and allocating to flash only a display area suitable for notifications such as 'installing AIR'. This would greatly facilitate the development of installation pages, no longer restricted by the properties exposed by the badge swf.
Looking forward to a reply from the powers that be,
David

I'm trying to draw that way too but I'm not able to find the solution, i've searched long way from all docs and tutorials but it's not easy for a beginner. And the Apple's gesture drawing tutorial was "replaced" by a GL ES sample wich do not match my needing.
I just want to draw a line following the touch using drawrect and touchesmoved.
If anyone could help me i would really appreciate. Thank you.

Mouse events causing script to skip

Hi all,
The code itself is roughly 500 lines long so I'll only post snippets if needed, but here is the problem I am experiencing. I have a cocoa-applescript application for compressing files with ffmpeg and then rsycning over ssh to our servers at work. I use expect scripts as background processes (expect_command &> /tmp/output.txt &) to read and display progress
Here is the problem I am experiencing. When the application is run (both inside and outside of Xcode, as well as on other machines) every time the mouse moves or clicks it causes the applescript to skip around. So for instance, if it is in the middle of compression and the mouse is moved it'll exit the repeat loop that is displaying progress and move to uploading. If I don't touch anything all works just fine. There is literally nothing in the code (save for GUI buttons that initiate sender routines) that has to do with mouse events, in fact I didn't even think it was possible to intercept mouse events with applescript.
I am just looking for anything that could shed some light on this situation. Either ideas of what might be causing it (I've tried everything I can think of, i.e cleaning, rebuilding, testing on multiple platforms), or workarounds. Like I'd even be happy if I can just get it to ignore the mouse during my repeat loops for progress.
First time poster, but long time reader so sorry if I am breaking any forum rules. I am happy to provide any info that can help diagnose this very very strange bug.

Hard to say without seeing some code, but you might try adding some log statements around the code where it is moving on to the next step to see why the previous step is exiting.
In general you should avoid using any significant AppleScript repeat loops, since events will get backed up in the queue until the system is given some time to process them. The timing of the actual problem may also be getting distorted by any backed up events, since they would be delayed while the script is in the loops.

Mouse events don't work on a button from a panel ran in a DLL

Hi.
I have a DLL that loads a panel.
Since it's a DLL I can't do the RunUserInterface() function, because the DLL would be stuck waiting for the panel events.
I only do the LoadPanel().
When I click with the mouse on one of the buttons, the pushing down event (simulating the button being pressed) doesn't happen and the callback doesn't run.
But if I press the tab button until the focus reaches the button and press Enter, the callback of the button is executed.
An even more interesting aspect is that this happens when I call the DLL on TestStand, but on an application of mine that calls the DLL just for debug everything works fine.
How can I enable the mouse events?
Thanks for your help.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Daniel,
I got surprised when I read your post, because I am experiencing something almost the same as you do.
I have a DLL (generated by an .fp instrument driver I wrote) which performs continious TCP communication with the UUT.
It starts 2 threads, each for reading from one of the 2 different IPs the UUT has.
Another DLL tests this UUT (with the help of the communication DLL above) by exporting functions to be called by TestStand steps.
If the second DLL wants to display a CVI panel in order to wait for the user response or displays a popup (MessagePopup, ConfirmPopup, etc), user cannot press the buttons.
Actually, there is a point your program and mine differ. I call RunUserInterface and the button's callbacks call QuitUserInterface, so the execution continues after a button is pressed. The problem is buttons cannot be pressed. I also tried looping on GetUserEvent but it did not solve the problem.
There are 2 findings:
1. I had a small exe to test my instrument driver DLL and the popups in it worked pretty well (this coincides with Daniel's findings).
2. We workedaround the problem by shutting down the communication threads in the instrument driver DLL before the popup appears and restrating them afterwards. Although they are separate threads in another DLL, they were somehow blocking user events on another DLL running.

Events Added on Touch Don't Appear in iCal

Hi,
When I added a new event on the iPod Touch and then sync with my MacBook, the new event does not appear in iCal. However, iTunes does ask me if I want to modify the specific calendar, and if I then delete the event from the Touch it will ask me if I want to delete the event upon next sync. So, it would appear that events are getting added to the calendar but aren't appearing in iCal. I've tried a variety of things, including using a different calendar, switching from syncing all calendars to only a specific set, and even resetting the iPod.
I suppose this isn't a huge issue, but it's obnoxious to have to manually enter events into iCal after I've already also added them to the iPod. Syncing in the opposite direction (iCal->Touch) works just fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.3), 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB mem
OS 10.7.3
I was able to solve the problem through a combination of two suggestions in the troubleshooting advice provided in the like you sent: turning off and then back on the Calendars box in System Preferences/iCloud, then restarting the computer. Works fine now, but it's scary to watch all of your calendar events disappear after you uncheck that box!
Thanks!

Mouse Events are slow

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on an standard as3 (1024x768) app that
is running inside a chromeless Air window to take advantage of the
transparency.
All my tests where done using windows XP professional and AIR
1.0 (the same problem existed in beta3).
The issue I'm having is related with Mouse Events. Somehow
the events take a lot of time to reach the swf file when the user
clicks inside the transparent window.
It's natural that the app runs slower inside a transparent
window (the framerate drops) but I wasn't expecting the clicks to
suffer from such delay (it takes sometimes 2-5sec).
The app is very CPU intensive and the transparencies make it
worse. Something inside the AIR framework is not dispatching the
events properly.
I say this because I tried using the virtualMouse class from
senocular together with a socket to simulate the mouse clicks and
that did the trick.
In conclusion:
Something in the AIR framework for windows XP is messing up
the dispatch of the Mouse events when the app is under heavy cpu
usage inside a chromeless window. I click on the window and it
takes 1-2sec to receive the click event.
However when I dispatch the MouseEvent.CLICK myself using
the virtual mouse class the application immediately receives the
event.
I know this is a strange bug and not many people will have
this problem, but I would like to know from someone with knowledge
of the runtime why this could be happening.
Thank you

Event triggering by abap class & ISR

hi gurus
1 ) can i able to see the event triggering by abap class in SWEL ? ,
2) in custom ISR scenario , new form scenario has been created by our functional consultant , and asking me to trigger a workflow for approval , when employee fills that particular ISR FORM , workflow should start and to go his HR administrator , when HR administrator double click on workitem he should get the ISR form in display mode & also with some descpition text is to be added in the screen (like user decision description ) with approval button ..... my question is how to trigger a event from in form scenario ? , how to bring the FORM screen to display mode to the HR administrator ?
regards
surya

Hi Surya
The BO for ISR forms is BUS7051 - Notification. Turn on the trace via SWELS and create a PCR/ISR form and you should see the events being triggered in SWEL.
Good Luck

Event triggered for checkbox in cl_gui_alv_grid

Hi All ,
I have a requirement like ,i give PO number on selection-screen.After execution, the items should be displayed on second screen ,which has some options on the top like before GR or after GR .(custom screen designed with cl_gui_alv_grid for display)
I desgined checkboxes for each row of the line item.user can click on multiple rows and click on EXECUTE button on the screen.After that smartform should trigger and print .
Now my query is how to capture the checkboxes which the user has entered (thru cl_gui_alv_grid) . Is there any event that gets triggered upon clicking the checkboxes?? I need the data of the corresponding row to process further .User can click on multiple items.
Please respond
Thanks

Hi Hemanth
You should have a field in your internal table matching the checkbox column in ALV.
Call method CHECK_CHANGED_DATA of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID on user command for execute button,
it will set the field = 'X' for ticked lines in your internal table.
Then use a loop on your internal table and find selected lines.
You don't need an event triggered when user clicks.

Event Triggers not getting executed

I'm having following code in beforeData(PLSQL) event trigger:
ADCPackageName.MethodName
There is no such package in database, even my report works fine and publish data without any error.
Is there any configuration for enabling event triggers.
I didn't sufficient documents on event triggers. I want to use them for returning some values to report variables and validating input parameters.

Hi,
I tried to use "SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT" also but it is also behaving in the same manner.
At first execution event is getting triggered but my workitem is not getting terminated.
But when i am executing the same report second time, again my event is getting triggered, and this time my workitem got terminated, and workflow proceeded furthur.
I checked it from SWEL, i have two entries for my event (i.e; first and second execution of report).
Any idea why it is behaving like this.
Please find below code for reference, apart from below code i have only declarations.
call function 'SWC_ELEMENT_SET'
EXPORTING
    element       = 'ActualState'
    field         = 'A'
