Mouse Concept

Hi Joel

May you tell me what does Mouse down & Mouse up & Mouse move means in ugfx library? 

Does it means for an example put our finger on screen and move down or up?

Hi,

In µGFX (or rather in the GINPUT module) a mouse and a touchscreen are handled the same way. That is why you will often see variables, functions and options named "mouse" instead of "touchscreen".  After all, a touchscreen provides exactly the same input parameters as a mouse does.

The terms "mouse up" and "mouse down" refer to the button actions, not the movement of a point. When you click the button on your mouse, you first push it down and then release it. "Mouse down" refers to pushing the button down and "mouse up" refers to releasing it. "Mouse move" refers to moving the mouse around (ie. changing the coordinates). The same applies to the touchscreen: "Mouse down" means that the user put the finger on the touchscreen (without releasing it yet), "Mouse up" means that the user took the finger off the touchscreen and "mouse move" means that the user moved the finger across the touchscreen.

I hope that helps. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions.
