Windows 8 Mouse and Touch Events

Came accross this issue where AIR runtime 3.8 (and 3.9 beta) on Windows 8 do not track mouse events correctly. Rolling back to 3.7, and publishing to 3.7 is the only way to have existing content work correctly when using a touchscreen.
This also effects GestureWorks projects. TAP events are dispatched but SCALE, DRAG and ROTATE are not.
Everything works perfect on 3.7 on Windows 8. 3.8 works perfect on Windows 7. But no 3.8 on Windows 8.
I think this is a massive issue.

First, the rumor is that touch on the W540 will be available H1, but not earlier. If you look at Dell's M3800 with touch, they have delays until mid-March with their Retina touch panels, so it'll take a while for the W540 to be available with touch. It is also possible that the W540 won't be available with touch until Intel's Haswell refresh comes out, but who knows.
Second, if you install the Windows 8.1 upgrade, please take care to check the "Brick your W540" thread, as there is something wrong with the bios and Intel Rapid Start-up Technology. It may result in your motherboard's failure, so disable RST before doing so.

IBooks mouse and touch events

We have an issue with our interactive books on the ipad. We are using epub3, javascripts and event listeners. All interactivity works perfectly on the ipad using eventlistener for touch. When we download the book to mac-maverick-ibooks there is no issue with the mouse events working on the touch events.. Apple want the books to include javascript to handle both touch or mouse events for each device. We attempted to include mouse events with the touch events without success. Does anyone know how to handle this. This is a snippet of the code we triede to use without success.
var eventName = "click";
if (navigator.epubReadingSystem.hasFeature('touch-events')) { eventName = "touchstart"; }
if (document.getElementById('openpopup')) { document.getElementById('openpopup').addEventListener(eventName,popup,false); }

Many Thanks Richard.. sorry for the delay I was away traveling ..I havn't done anything to my pc as yet , but the problem seems to have gone... My son said it was probably because I put some new applications on and maybe this had something to do with it, but it seems to have sorted itself out now..but I will keep your suggestion ready incase it happens again .. thank you again Phil

Capture All Mouse and Keyboard events even if java window NOT in FOCUS

Hi All,
Is this possible to capture all mouse and keyboard events even if java window is not in focus or is minimized. This java program should cature each and every event from the user once the program is started. Any help in this regard is appreciated!
Thanks&Regards
Sam

I don't think you can. (without JNI)

Lock all mouse and keyboard event.

i am looking ways to lock up all the mouse and keyboard events in windows...do u guy have ways to solve this?

Do you mean that people should not be able to start other applications, or switch to other running applications, before they have typed the right password into you java program? I don't think that can be done in java - it requires more control over the computer than Java typically gives you. You may have some success with full-screen AWT, though.
But why not use log-on-systems incorporated in whatever operating system you are using? Or some other netware thingie? Honestly, I think you are trying to reinvent the wheel, and even with tool that's not very appropriate.

In Flashplayer, I can crossover mouse and keyboard events. In IrfanView I cannot. Can this be fixed?

My client uses IrfanView to play SWF files. Unfortunately, he does not use Flashplayer. In Flashplayer, I can crossover mouse and keyboard events with no problem. In IrfanView, the second I click a button, the keyboard events are disabled. Is there a fix?

Hi Ned. I may have posted this issue a bit early, but this problem is also happening in Flashplayer 10. It's not exclusive to IrfanView.
Here is something that I encountered during my testing, when I jump to scene 6 using the menu button, I have a play button to jump from one frame to the next frame that stops -- the keyboard events start working. But if all I am doing is jumping scene to scene with the mouse button, the keyboard events are disabled.
I feel as if the keyboard events only work if I am playing frames in the scene. And if all I am doing is jumping scene to scene using the buttons, the keys will disable.
I set up the mouse buttons inside a movieclip that all the scenes share. The mouse actionscript is in the movieclip. On the main timeline of each scene is an actionscript for the keyboard events, even though I had to change each function name.
I feel the actionscript is setup pretty simple. I just wish clicking the buttons would not disable the keyboard events. This may sound redundant, but the keyboard events do the same thing if you use the mouse buttons. It's just preference for the client even though he will need to understand that using the mouse buttons override the keyboard events. He doesn't really lose functionality.
Keyboard actionscripting below:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyEvent);
function onKeyEvent(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
var character:String=String.fromCharCode(e.charCode);
if (e.keyCode==72) {
gotoAndStop(1,"master");
if (e.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Distributor");
if (e.charCode==50) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Mirka");
if (e.charCode==51) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Farm");
if (e.charCode==52) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Check2");
if (e.charCode==53) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Check3");
if (e.charCode==54) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene2");
if (e.charCode==55) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene1");

Windows 8.1 and touch screen availability

I'm used to use Windows 8.1 and could be interested in a W540. I've however observed, that W540 is only being shipped with the one year older Windows 8 despite Windows 8.1 was actually RTM'ed before W540 began shipping.
Will there be W540 announced with Windows 8.1 or W540 stops with Windows 8?
Nobody needs to respond that I can just upgrade to Windows 8.1 because I don't want to fiddle with the imperfections caused by this.
Will W540 be released with a touch screen or it'll stay with a classic non-touch "output-only" screen?
Best regards,
Henrik Dahl

Weird mouse and keyboard events windows 7 @g550

My windows 7, on laptop lenovo g550 behaves weirdly lately. After some casual run time i can't right click on desktop, start button doesn't respond, if i switch users and log in back to my user goes back to normal.
Sometimes "c" or "v" keys do nut respond when i press them on firefox window but in adress bar i can write all fine...
Some times same behaviour happens in different window. But when i switch users back again to my user via windows+L key its come back to normal. Please help )
Scanned with updated anti virus nod, malware scanned with lavasoft adaware, cc cleaned. Drivers on gpu are latest, rest of drivers are updated and windows 7 is updated promptly.

Yes, it also happens if I switch to a virtual console. In fact, I attempted to open a session on a virtual console (ctrl-alt-F1) the last time it happened, but I couldn't because my password wasn't logged correctly; the weird thing is, I could type the login name (for example, 'root' or my user name), but when I tried to enter the password it always returned an authentication error because the password was misspelled, or something. I also tried to reset the X server to see if it solved the issue, but I couldn't because the 'Alt' key was not working (when it happens, the only solution is to reboot from the GUI). Any ideas?
Oh, and thanks for your comment about my desktop

Mouse and touch pad not responding/working?

the entire touch pad doesnt work when using the computer. also when a mouse is plugged in that doesnt work either!...... but both work fine when in the lenovo help section, (when pressing the lenovo help button) they only dont work from the login section and when logged in.
HELP!!!

I am facing similar problem. However it is little different. My touch pad stopped working just within 3 months after buying this product. Now the problem is no body is taking responsibility of this kind of problems customers are facing. Here the real problem is my blue light at the touch pad has also stopped working.
I believe it means, it must have some hardware problem. Now it is almost more than 8 months to this product and am still struggling with this problem. The only good part of it is, here my usb mouse is still working.
One more thing i would like to know here, how can i find lenovo help key you mentioned in your querry? Please guide someone to get rid of this problem.

Binding Mouse and Key Events.

Hi,
When a user clicks the Ctrl + V the data from the clipboard
is pasted into the user area. Instead of using this can we do it
using a mouse click. For now, I am planning to bind the event code
of these combinations (CTRL + V == 86) to the mouse click. But when
I tried this I am unable to bind this key event to the mouse event.
Can anyone help me out for getting out of this problem.
Regards,
eodC.

No, it isn't.
Kind regards,

Mouse and Keyboard doesn't reacts on Windows

Hi,
I have installed Windows on my iMac, but now i have the problem, that when i boot using Windows, my mouse and my keyboard doesn't react...
I have tried it with my wireless Apple Keyboard, my wired Apple keyboard, my Logitech Mouse and with my Apple Magic Mouse. But if I move the mouse, the cursor on the screen doesn't moves.
I have installed all drivers from the WININSTALL-Drive, created while installing windows and I also downloaded the drivers from the Apple Homepage.
If I start Windows in safe mode, the mouse and the keyboard reacts!
Do you have any ideas, how I can fix this problem?
Thanks iComputerfreak

Hey tatts and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Well first try booting from your restore disk or a retail installer. If you still have a problem there try resetting PRAM and NVRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
esp the part about open firmware.
If none of that works you might have a capacitor problem even tho' you're not on the list. I had 2 eMacs that were in the shop with similar problems and both were repaired on recall.

Windows 8 press and hold slowdown

Hi,
I am using a iiyama touch pc screen on a windows 8 pc. When I 'press and hold'(keep finger/pen in the same place) in my AIR application the application slows down for a second or two. The problem does not occur when i hold the mouse button and it doesn't happen on a windows 7 pc with the same touch screen. I also tried disabeling press and touch right clicking in control panel but that does not work either. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a solution?
My guess is that it is caused by the windows 8 press and touch gesture, but there is no way to disable it in windows. Is there a way to disable gestures and other touch functionality in flash?

Jeff-P wrote:
I just tested this on my touchscreen laptop and got a similar behavior. Windows doesn't seem to be registering the left click when you touch the screen until you release. My guess is that this is related to the press+hold for right click functionality on Windows. When I touch and hold for over a second, I get a right click, but when I touch and hold for a shorter time, I get a left click that only registers when I take my finger off. This is consistent with the way that the Windows UI handles touch as well (test the start button for an example).
Interestingly, if I change the mechanical action of the LabVIEW boolean to 'Switch Unit Released' I can't actually toggle the button ever because the press and hold does not register as a left click, and eventually registers as a right click.

Actually, this is expected behavior. Try clicking a button on any Windows app, then, while holding down the button, move off of it. The button does not register as pressed. This feature has saved me any number of times.
edit:
Or do you mean it doesn't even depress the button?

Recording the input of mouse and keyboard outside of a visible GUI

I am trying to write something sorta like pc anywhere except I dont quite know how to approach the problem of recording the input from the mouse and keyboard. I have thought of using a glass pane the size of the screen but once I have captured the mouse or keyboard events how do I send them through to the underlying OS (as if nothing happened)?

This is not possible in java. You should register to some native mouse and keyboard listener mechanism. and let them notify you of all the mouse and keyboard events. Maybe JNI can help you accomplish this.

How to handle mouse and/or keyEvents before JTable handles them

Just studying Jtables, but I do not understand some principles. one of the problems is which method in which class do I have to overwrite, so that I can handle mouse and keyboard-Events?
I believe,Using a glasspane is to complicated!
CAn somebody please "put my nose" into the right direction ?
Nice Sunday to You all.
Thanks
Hanns

Look at JComponent. You can override the methods:
public void processMouseEvent(MouseEvent e)
public void processMouseMotionEvent(MouseEvent e)
protected boolean processKeyBinding(KeyStroke ks, KeyEvent e, int condition, boolean pressed)
As of 1.3 the existing key events can be overwritten ( or you can add your own defined key events) by using input and action maps.
You can add bindings for any keyStroke and add your own defined action this way:
int i = JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT;
m_table.getInputMap(i).put( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, 0, false), "Tab - P");
m_table.getActionMap().put("Tab - P", new TabAction());
private class TabAction extends AbstractAction
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
//define what you want tab to do here
You can get rid of the key/keyaction this way:
m_table.getInputMap(i).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0), "Quit - P");
m_table.getActionMap().put("Quit - P", null);
You could use java's pre-defined action this way:
Object tab_action_key = m_table.getInputMap(i).getParent().get(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, 0));
m_table.getInputMap(i).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0), "Enter - P");
m_table.getActionMap().put("Enter - P", tab_action_key);

Detect "touch start" and "touch end" event in windows phone default browser.

Hi,
We have a BIG problem, because in all browsers we can detect the "touch start" event and "touch end" event. For iOS, firefox, internet Explorer, safari, Android work well. But in the windows phone default browser the "touch end"
doesn't work.
Do you know what we can do ?
Thanks.

Hi gogogate,
>>But in the windows phone default browser the "touch end" doesn't work
There is no simply way to achieve this, in my experience, I would recommend that you can handle touch event using JavaScript and retrieve information you need form the webpage using the window.external.notify(string) function:

Windows is Scanning and repairing drive... (- Errors in Event Viewer)

Long post, please be patient... :)
I have a fairly new (purchased 8/2013) Lenovo ThinkPad T431s with Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (updated from 8.0 -> 8.1). It has a very tricky error coming basically 8 / 10 boots:
Windows is Scanning and repairing drive...
Error details from Windows Event Viewer (a new similar error appears on every boot to event viewer):
A corruption was discovered in the file system structure on volume \?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984}.
A file on the volume is no longer reachable from its parent directory. The parent file reference number is 0x2000000000002. The name of the parent directory is "". The parent index attribute is ":$I30:$INDEX_ALLOCATION". The file reference
number of the file that needs to be reconnected is 0x400000003db80. There may be additional files on the volume that also need to be reconnected to this parent directory.
What has been done 1st trying to fix that:
SSD disk has been changed (image from previous SSD copied back) ->
no solution, error remains
chkdsk /F /R -> no solution, error remains
SFC /scannow -> no solution, error remains
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth -> no solution, error remains after a few boots
TRIED using Windows 8.1 "Update & Recovery -> Refresh Your PC without affecting your files" -> Inserted the Lenovo "Operating System Recovery Disk Windows 8 Pro (OEM Activation 3.0 Required)" BUT Windows did not accept
that DVD claiming "The media inserted is not valid"... ???
Ended up calling Lenovo Support and they instructed me to order the Recovery DVD from
Lenovorecovery.com -> Unfortunatelly Windows does not recognice the DVD(s)...
mountvol returns:
\\?\Volume{4d337687-0033-42f7-8a8e-b6968b533cb3}\
(This is my C:\ drive where Windows installation resides)

*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***

*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***
\\?\Volume{33f0062f-0aff-4fd2-8402-1c7911d86897}\
*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***
Then running fsutil dirty query on each returns:
Volume - \\?\Volume{4d337687-0033-42f7-8a8e-b6968b533cb3} is NOT Dirty
Volume - \\?\Volume{e010cf9d-c04d-4c82-b517-3cda1b647fe7} is NOT Dirty
Volume - \\?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984} is Dirty
Volume - \\?\Volume{33f0062f-0aff-4fd2-8402-1c7911d86897} is NOT Dirty
The chkdsk on the dirty volume
\\?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984}\ returned:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Insufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or
other shadow copy data.
A snapshot error occured while scanning this drive. Run an offline scan and fix.
Diskpart output on the same volume:

Partition 3 System 260 MB 1129 MB
Partition 4 Primary 146 GB 1389 MB
Partition 5 Recovery 350 MB 147 GB
Partition 6 Recovery 19 GB 148 GB
Questions:
1) Are my Partitions OK, haven't "touched" anything?
2) Excluded the dirty volume from boot checking with chkntfs /x
-> still the Error appears in Event viewer log (but Scanning is skipped/not shown anymore during the boot).
What is causing the error?
3) Why do I have three (3) recovery partitions?

What has happened in the past days:
A) Lenovo on-site-Support changed the motherboard -> had no impact on the error (which I expected).
B) I found
instructions how to manually create USB Flash stick with a booting Custom (OEM) Recovery Image.
C) Booted with USB and performed "Refresh your PC without affecting your files."
D) Windows was refreshed but...

Still the error remains (Windows scanning and repairing drive \?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984} on each and every boot.
1) Related Error in Event viewer (NTFS):

2) Related Error in Event viewer (NTFS - Microsoft Windows NTFS):

Now Lenovo support is proposing a full re-install (to be performed by myself) of Windows as this is SW issue.
Summary:
- Refreshing my T431s with OEM Image does not help
- The error remains on \?\Volume{f62db2cf-efe4-4b55-a3f7-0e7db991a984} (\Device\HarddiskVolume5; Lenovo Recovery partition) OR at least Windows thinks so...
