GestureCurrentPointer (Function)
In french: GestePointeurEncours
Returns the pointer index (finger or stylus) that triggered the call of a specific multi-touch event in an Image control.
This index can be used by GesturePosX and/or GesturePosY to get the vertical and/or horizontal position of the corresponding pointer.
Example
// Retrieve the horizontal position of the pointer that triggered
// the call to the "Pressed" event associated to an Image control
PositionX is int
PositionX = GesturePosX(GestureCurrentPointer())
Syntax
<Result> = GestureCurrentPointer()
<Result>: Integer
Pointer index (finger or stylus) that triggered the call of a "Pressed" or "Released" event associated with an Image control. The first pointer that touches the screen corresponds to index 1.
Remark: In the Android simulator or emulator, this number is always equal to 1.

Limitations

  • Use condition:
    • This function must be called in the events of an Image control that triggered the call to the events for each pointer: option "Recall processes for each pointer (multiple pointers)" in the "Details" tab of the control description.
    • This function must be called in one of the following events of the control: "Pressed", "Released", "Scroll with finger", "Horizontal and vertical swipe" or "Zoom with finger". Otherwise, the function will always return 1.
  • WEBDEV - Browser code The browser used must support the multi-touch feature.

Miscellaneous

  • To find out the horizontal position (X) of a pointer, use GesturePosX.
  • To find out the vertical position (Y) of a pointer, use GesturePosY.
  • To find out the number of pointers in contact with the screen, use GestureNbPointer.
