Cower	Created : 08 January 2010 Edited : 08 January 2010 System : Mac Language : Blitz Max Multitouch Trackpad Events Code for handling for mutlitouch trackpad events (magnification, rotation, and swiping) in BlitzMax under Mac OS
What this does is it takes a TGLGraphics instance and inserts a responder into the responder chain for the window or view associated with the graphics, and then passes along events to BlitzMax, which you can get at by polling for events or adding a hook for EmitEventHook. The only important functions are CreateTrackpadHandler and DestroyTrackpadHandler. The event constants are in the source, but only three of them are used, so don't bother checking for the ones marked 'unused.' Example SuperStrict 'buildopt:gui ?MacOS Import "tracktouch.bmx" SetGraphicsDriver(GLMax2DDriver()) ' If you're using Max2D, you'll have to grab the inner TGraphics from the TMax2DGraphics like so: Local gfx:TGraphics = TMax2DGraphics(Graphics(800,600,0))._graphics Local handle:Int = CreateTrackpadHandler(gfx) Local x:Float = GraphicsWidth().5 Local y:Float = GraphicsHeight().5 Local scale:Float = 1.0 Local rotation:Float = 0.0 Local color:Int = 0 Local Running:Int = True ' Some colors to swipe through Local colors:Int[] = [255,255,255, 254,149,50, 85,85,238, 254,34,35, 200,232,7, 241,41,234, .. 144,204,76, 120,148,183, 155,127,79, 242,11,137, 184,69,74, 35,33,86, .. 30,95,104, 106,148,181] While Running Cls While PollEvent() Select CurrentEvent.id ' HANDLE TOUCH EVENTS Case EVENT_TOUCH_MAGNIFY Rem Unfortunately, the only other way I could see a float being included in an event was if I either subclassed TEvent or if I converted the float value to a string. Neither struck me as necessary, so float values are just packed into an integer.
