## Detailed Description

Represents a linear source of mouse events from a mouse device or individual finger in a multi-touch environment.

Each MouseEvent object contains a reference to the MouseInputSource that generated it. In an environment with a single mouse for input, all events will come from the same source, but in a multi-touch system, there may be multiple MouseInputSource objects active, each representing a stream of events coming from a particular finger.

Events coming from a single MouseInputSource are always sent in a fixed and predictable order: a mouseMove will never be called without a mouseEnter having been sent beforehand, the only events that can happen between a mouseDown and its corresponding mouseUp are mouseDrags, etc. When there are multiple touches arriving from multiple MouseInputSources, their event streams may arrive in an interleaved order, so you should use the getIndex() method to find out which finger each event came from.

| noexcept

Returns the type of input source that this object represents.

## ◆ isMouse()

bool MouseInputSource::isMouse | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

## ◆ getIndex()

int MouseInputSource::getIndex | ( |  | ) | const

Returns this source's index in the global list of possible sources.

If the system only has a single mouse, there will only be a single MouseInputSource with an index of 0.

If the system supports multi-touch input, then the index will represent a finger number, starting from 0. When the first touch event begins, it will have finger number 0, and then if a second touch happens while the first is still down, it will have index 1, etc.

## ◆ isDragging()

bool MouseInputSource::isDragging | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns true if this device is currently being pressed.

## ◆ getScreenPosition()

Point< float > MouseInputSource::getScreenPosition | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the last-known screen position of this source.

## ◆ getRawScreenPosition()

Point< float > MouseInputSource::getRawScreenPosition | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the last-known screen position of this source without any scaling applied.

Returns a set of modifiers that indicate which buttons are currently held down on this device.

## ◆ getCurrentPressure()

float MouseInputSource::getCurrentPressure | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the device's current touch or pen pressure.

The range is 0 (soft) to 1 (hard). If the input device doesn't provide any pressure data, it may return a negative value here, or 0.0 or 1.0, depending on the platform.

## ◆ getCurrentOrientation()

float MouseInputSource::getCurrentOrientation | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the device's current orientation in radians.

0 indicates a touch pointer aligned with the x-axis and pointing from left to right; increasing values indicate rotation in the clockwise direction. Only reported by a touch pointer.

## ◆ getCurrentRotation()

float MouseInputSource::getCurrentRotation | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the device's current rotation.

Indicates the clockwise rotation, or twist, of the pointer in radians. The default is 0. Only reported by a pen pointer.

float MouseInputSource::getCurrentTilt | ( | bool | tiltX | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the angle of tilt of the pointer in a range of -1.0 to 1.0 either in the x- or y-axis.

The default is 0. If x-axis, a positive value indicates a tilt to the right and if y-axis, a positive value indicates a tilt toward the user. Only reported by a pen pointer.

## ◆ isPressureValid()

bool MouseInputSource::isPressureValid | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns true if the current pressure value is meaningful.

Returns the component that was last known to be under this pointer.

## ◆ triggerFakeMove()

void MouseInputSource::triggerFakeMove | ( |  | ) | const

Tells the device to dispatch a mouse-move or mouse-drag event.

This is asynchronous - the event will occur on the message thread.

## ◆ getNumberOfMultipleClicks()

int MouseInputSource::getNumberOfMultipleClicks | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the number of clicks that should be counted as belonging to the current mouse event.

So the mouse is currently down and it's the second click of a double-click, this will return 2.

## ◆ getLastMouseDownTime()

Time MouseInputSource::getLastMouseDownTime | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the time at which the last mouse-down occurred.

## ◆ getLastMouseDownPosition()

Point< float > MouseInputSource::getLastMouseDownPosition | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

it has been held down for a significant amount of time or it has been dragged more than a couple of pixels from the place it was pressed.

Un-hides the mouse cursor if it was hidden by hideCursor().

## ◆ forceMouseCursorUpdate()

void MouseInputSource::forceMouseCursorUpdate | ( |  | ) |

Forces an update of the mouse cursor for whatever component it's currently over.

## ◆ canDoUnboundedMovement()

bool MouseInputSource::canDoUnboundedMovement | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns true if this mouse can be moved indefinitely in any direction without running out of space.

## ◆ enableUnboundedMouseMovement()

void MouseInputSource::enableUnboundedMouseMovement | ( | bool | isEnabled,
|  | bool | keepCursorVisibleUntilOffscreen = false ) const

Allows the mouse to move beyond the edges of the screen.

Calling this method when the mouse button is currently pressed will remove the cursor from the screen and allow the mouse to (seem to) move beyond the edges of the screen.

This means that the coordinates returned to mouseDrag() will be unbounded, and this can be used for things like custom slider controls or dragging objects around, where movement would be otherwise be limited by the mouse hitting the edges of the screen.

The unbounded mode is automatically turned off when the mouse button is released, or it can be turned off explicitly by calling this method again.

Parameters

  isEnabled | whether to turn this mode on or off
  keepCursorVisibleUntilOffscreen | if set to false, the cursor will immediately be hidden; if true, it will only be hidden when it is moved beyond the edge of the screen

## ◆ isUnboundedMouseMovementEnabled()

bool MouseInputSource::isUnboundedMouseMovementEnabled | ( |  | ) | const

Returns true if this source is currently in "unbounded" mode.

## ◆ setScreenPosition()

void MouseInputSource::setScreenPosition | ( | Point< float > | newPosition | ) |

Attempts to set this mouse pointer's screen position.
