Tap and Tap-and-Hold Pointer Events (86921)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing 1.0
This article was previously published under Q86921 SUMMARY
In the Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing environment, the pen can exhibit
either mouse or pen functionality. Generally, the pen acts similar to a
mouse until the Recognize function determines that the user started a
recognition session. To enable the pen to function even better as a mouse
in applications developed for standard (non-pen) Microsoft Windows, the
Recognize() function may abort the recognition session with a pointer event
return value to indicate that the user intends to perform a standard mouse
operation instead of starting a recognition session. The ProcessWriting()
function also exhibits this behavior.
A pen-centric application can take advantage of this functionality by
clearing the RCO_NOPOINTEREVENT flag in the lRcOptions field of the
recognition context (RC) data structure. The text below describes pointer
events and provides some pseudocode to demonstrate how an application might
process the REC_POINTEREVENT return value.
