GesturePointerType (Function)

In french: GesteTypePointer

Returns the type of pointer used on the device: finger, mouse or stylus.

Note: This function is available in WINDEV only to be used in the simulator.

Example

nType is int = GesturePointerType()
IF nType = typePointerFinger THEN Info("Finger is the pointer being used.")

Syntax

<Result> = GesturePointerType([<Pointer>])

<Result>: Integer

Pointer type used,
-1 if an error occurred.
The type of pointer can correspond to one of the following constants:
typePointerFinger The pointer being used is the finger.
typePointerStylus The pointer being used is the stylus.
typePointerMouse The pointer being used is the mouse.

<Pointer>: Optional integer

Pointer subscript to find out. The subscript of the first pointer is set to 1.
If this parameter is not specified, the function will return the position of the first pointer.
If the subscript does not correspond to a valid pointer, the function will return -1.
Only one pointer is managed.

Remarks

GesturePointerType must be used in events that are linked to pointer movements: click, move, pointer pressed, pointer released, scroll, etc. If GesturePointerType is called in another event or process, <Result> will correspond to '-1'.
To find out the subscript of the pointer that triggered the execution of an event linked to a movement on the screen, use GestureCurrentPointer.
Only one pointer is managed.
