Customizing the touch response mode

The touch response mode defines how your touch emulates the functions of a
mouse. For example, you can define a touch to produce a button down (pressing a
mouse button) or button up (releasing the mouse button). Touch modes also define
how your touch produces a mouse click and double click. The SmartSet software
allows the following touch modes:
Desktop (default)
Drawing
Button
Click
Lift-off
Touchdown
Table 2-3 describes how to click, double-click, and drag with the touch modes.

Configuring and calibrating the touch screen
The system moves the cursor to the touch point, but does not generate a
button down as long as you continue to slide your finger around the
screen. When you pause and hold your finger steady, the system generates
a mouse button down. You can now slide your finger around the screen.
When you lift your finger, the system generates a button up.
The system moves the cursor to the touch point and immediately generates
a button down. You can slide your finger around the screen with the
button held down. When you lift your finger, the system generates a
button up.
The system moves the cursor to the touch point and generates a button
down and up (a click). To drag, slide your finger around the screen (button
down). The system generates a button up after your lift your finger.
The system moves the cursor to the touch point and immediately generates
a button down and up (a click). Click mode does not generate a second
button down, does not support drag, and does not generate a mouse event
on finger lift-off.
The system moves the cursor to the touch point, but does not generate a
mouse button down. You can slide your finger around the screen and your
movements are followed; however, the system generates mouse move
events only. Lifting your finger off of the screen generates a mouse button
down. The system then waits for a system-defined time delay, and
generates a button up. The system does not support drag in this mode;
however, lift-off mode is useful for applications that require greater
accuracy.
The system moves the cursor to the touch point, generates a button down,
waits for a system-defined time delay, and generates a button up. The
system does not generate a mouse event on finger lift-off. The system does
not support drag in this mode.
