Is there some APIs for get the force of click?
-
Hi all! I am developing an application which will work for two monitors. The additional monitor has a touch screen. Now I want to get the force of click for it. I found it seems like some APIs can get it because some applications can respond for it. But I don't know which API(s) can do it. Is here somebody be kind to tell me? Thank you! Sincerely!

Nope... You hadn't get my meaning. I try to find a API to get the value of strength when I click the touch pad. Not insert mouse event into message-queue. :-D

I don't think such a thing is possible. A mouse button can either be in a depressed or a released state (same with a touch pad buttons, and clicks generated by touching somewhere on the touch area). Generally, there's no way to find out how "hard" a button was pressed. If a device is sensitive to such data, and is exposing APIs to capture that information, then that would be a different story. However, it is not the case with regular mouse and touch pad devices.

Have you checked if the vendor provides a library to access touch screen functionalities?

AFAIK and i too agree with rajesh, there is no such api's in windows.. but might be your touch screen vendor may be providing these type of library if your client are intrested in same type of functionality

Agree, however these shouldn't be any inbuilt functionality in the windows for same!

Sorry for my misunderstanding (read error) :laugh:. You mean touch pressure strength or, I think, sometimes called pressure size. I'm not sure that this is standard information beside location information reported by device. This theoretically possible feature may not be carried out by all manufacturers.

[My articles]cpallini's correct... this type of information would only come from software provided by the vendor and will be vendor specific... meaning one vendor's libraries or API calls will not work with anothers

Wrong. If you can provide an API link on MSDN to support your theory, I'll be happy to read it. The need for applying "pressure" comes from using a touch screen that is based on resistive touch technology. In this case, the pressure applied will bring two different electrical layers together at one point, and when they touch, there's a change in the electrical current there, which is registered as a "touch". No matter how hard or gently you touch, the event is going to be either touched, or not. There's no way to measure the pressure. If I were to use a capacitative touch screen, it works based on the weak electric signals emitted from the skin. Now, where is the pressure on that?

Well, that's the same thing I said as well in my reply to the OP. And, that would be the only possibility. :) If a device is sensitive to such data, and is exposing APIs to capture that information, then that would be a different story. However, it is not the case with regular mouse and touch pad devices.

Pressure is computed, see, for instance http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/AD7877.pdf[^], "TOUCH-PRESSURE MEASUREMENT" section. :)

[My articles]That is for devices manufactured by a certain company. I indicated in my first post that such things are possible if the manufacturer has implemented such a feature and is exposing APIs to capture those details. However, that would be an edge case. But most devices are simpler, and Windows certainly does not provide you features to measure "touch pressure". Again, I'll ONLY accept an API from MSDN that tells me what the touch pressure was when a touch event happens. :)

Of course, it is. The OP asked a question that is more general (and not specific to devices built by the analog.com company). :)
