_IsPressed and Tap on Touch Screen

[Manioums]

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to detect a "Tap" on a touch screen with _IsPressed

I need to detect when a Tap is done outside my application.

With "If _IsPressed(01, $hDLL) Then" it's working well with a mouse click. On a touch screen I must double Tap in order to have this condition true.

It will be great if someon have a solution

Thank you very much !

Ok i've found a solution with GetTouchInputInfo

Does anyone have any examples on how to "AutoIT" this?

I have an adlib that monitors for clicks in one part of the screen, it works perfectly with a mouse click. But this machine is going to be touch only when deployed.

Func DetectClick()
   $X = MouseGetPos(0)
   $Y = MouseGetPos(1)
   If $X > 1447 AND $X < 1611 AND $Y > 14 AND $Y < 32 AND _IsPressed(01) Then RunTabTip()
EndFunc

I'm not sure if this helps your issue, but you could try the MouseOnEvent UDF to detect if the mouse was clicked. You can customize it to do x action if your cursor is inside  specific coordinates with WinGetPos()

I understand you need the condition to be true only on double click. In this case, see my example below.

#include "misc.au3"
$X = MouseGetPos(0)
$Y = MouseGetPos(1)
$BorderLeft = 0
$BorderTop = 0
$BorderRight = @DesktopWidth
$BorderBottom = @DesktopHeight
While 1
    If $X > $BorderLeft And $X < $BorderRight And $Y > $BorderTop And $Y < $BorderBottom And _IsPressed(01) Then _OnSingleClick()
WEnd
Func _OnSingleClick()
    Do
        sleep(1)
    Until not _IsPressed(01)
    Local $timer = TimerInit()
    Do
        If $X > $BorderLeft And $X < $BorderRight And $Y > $BorderTop And $Y < $BorderBottom And _IsPressed(01) Then _OnDoubleClick()
    Until TimerDiff($timer) > 500 ;Delay in milliseconds to wait for a second click before assuming the event was single click.
EndFunc   ;==>_OnSingleClick
Func _OnDoubleClick()
    MsgBox(0, "All good Bossun.", "Double Click Detected! Exiting...")
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_OnDoubleClick

That code you wrote works perfectly with both the mouse and touchscreen. Thanks a lot Beta!   -Kenny

I'm checking out the UDF too, I know I used it long ago but it used to interfere with some apps here and there. But I'm sure they worked out the kinks.

Trying to figure this out.  But goes above my understanding.    I have a script that I am having students use while taking a test, But some of the computers the school has provided are touch screen.  How can I change whatever is needed so only one tap on the answer is needed instead of a double tap?
