Click Mode settings

 

The Click Mode dialog defines the click mode emulation and links to the click mode settings within the operating system.

 

Function

Description

Shows the current click mode emulation. The setting is only active if the driver is responsible for the pointer handling via the standard ‘mouse’ interface into the OS. Other pointer interfaces will override these settings as follows:

 

Windows 7 / 8 extended touch

Click Mode selection is disabled if Extended Touch (see below) is enabled and forced to Click and Drag setting.

 

 

Mac OS X gestures

The Mac gesture extension disables the driver’s mouse interface and receives all touches such that it can calculate the ‘gesture’ including single touch which is then processed according to the SingleTouchMode gesture setting.

 

 

Linux

If using single touch in TBlinuxmouse or virtual touch device interface then this setting will dictate the click mode. However, if using the virtual touch device interface then multi-touch usage will be processed by any multi-touch functionality built into the kernel.

 

A full mouse click is the action of a pen down followed by a pen up. In the following click emulations, where pen down is specified but with no indication if it’s a left or right click, then the Event Selector setting will dictate the click performed.

 

Pen down then drag. Pen up at lift off

Drag then click at lift off.

Pen down and pen up at point of touch. No movement.

Left pen down then drag, left pen up at lift off. Stationary stylus invokes full right click (Pen down and up). Interactive switch delay determines right click hold time.

Latched option – Right click up is performed when stylus is lifted off the screen.

 

Vista and Windows 7 only. Starting with version 4.1.8 UPDD can deliver touch co-ordinate data to the Windows operating system via the Mouse class (Mice device) or HID class (Virtual HID touch device) interface. In certain editions of Vista/Win7 OS data delivered via the HID interface will be utilised by the extended touch functions built into the OS. This setting indicates what interface to use. When disabled the Mouse class interface is used and all standard UPDD features are available, such as Click Mode selection. This will reduce the extended touch features to those that work with a mouse type device so features such as gestures will no longer work. When enabled standard UPDD features that clash with the extended touch features are disabled and the UPDD click mode is set to Click and Drag.

 

Extended touch features currently only work with the primary monitor. The setting should be disabled when the touch screen is not associated with the primary monitor.

 

or

Pre UPDD 4.1.10 - Indicates if touch is silent. If disabled a beep is sent to the system internal speaker (not sound card). The system must have an internal speaker configured and working. Windows 32 only.

 

UPDD 4.1.10 onwards - Configure touch sound options.

Visual notification indicates if visual feedback is shown during Interactive Touch right click countdown (only Windows at time of writing).

 

 

Introduced in UPDD 4.1.10 and shown if the Event Selector toolbar is defined in the driver. This setting enables the Event Selector, a floating mouse icon that indicates if the next touch is to generate a left or right click.  The icon is touched to toggle between the two states.  Currently Windows and Mac OS X only.

 

 

Adjust the mouse pointer settings defined within the operating system. Settings should be set to compliment touch usage, especially the double click settings.

    Test icons

Used to test right and double clicks. A tick is shown if the click test is successful.
