QTouchDevice ClassThe QTouchDevice class describes the device from with touch events originate. More... #include <QTouchDevice>This class was introduced in Qt 5.0. Public Types

Detailed DescriptionThe QTouchDevice class describes the device from with touch events originate. Each QTouchEvent contains a QTouchDevice pointer to allow accessing device-specific properties like type and capabilities. It is the responsibility of the platform or generic plug-ins to register the available touch devices via QWindowSystemInterface before generating any touch events. Applications do not need to instantiate this class, they should just access the global instances pointed to by QTouchEvent::device(). Member Type Documentation
flags QTouchDevice::Capabilities |
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QTouchDevice::Position | 0x0001 | Indicates that position information is available, meaning that the pos() family of functions in the touch points return valid points. |
| QTouchDevice::Area | 0x0002 | Indicates that touch area information is available, meaning that the rect() family of functions in the touch points return valid rectangles. |
| QTouchDevice::Pressure | 0x0004 | Indicates that pressure information is available, meaning that pressure() returns a valid value. |
| QTouchDevice::Velocity | 0x0008 | Indicates that velocity information is available, meaning that velocity() returns a valid vector. |
| QTouchDevice::RawPositions | 0x0010 | Indicates that the list returned by QTouchEvent::TouchPoint::rawScreenPositions() may contain one or more positions for each touch point. This is relevant when the touch input gets filtered or corrected on driver level. |
| QTouchDevice::NormalizedPosition | 0x0020 | Indicates that the normalized position is available, meaning that normalizedPos() returns a valid value. |
The Capabilities type is a typedef for QFlags<CapabilityFlag>. It stores an OR combination of CapabilityFlag values.
enum QTouchDevice::DeviceType
This enum represents the type of device that generated a QTouchEvent.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QTouchDevice::TouchScreen | 0 | In this type of device, the touch surface and display are integrated. This means the surface and display typically have the same size, such that there is a direct relationship between the touch points' physical positions and the coordinate reported by QTouchEvent::TouchPoint. As a result, Qt allows the user to interact directly with multiple QWidgets and QGraphicsItems at the same time. |
| QTouchDevice::TouchPad | 1 | In this type of device, the touch surface is separate from the display. There is not a direct relationship between the physical touch location and the on-screen coordinates. Instead, they are calculated relative to the current mouse position, and the user must use the touch-pad to move this reference point. Unlike touch-screens, Qt allows users to only interact with a single QWidget or QGraphicsItem at a time. |
Member Function Documentation
QTouchDevice::QTouchDevice()
Creates a new touch device instance. By default the name is empty, the only capability is Position and type is TouchScreen.
QTouchDevice::~QTouchDevice()
Capabilities QTouchDevice::capabilities() const
Returns the touch device capabilities.
See also setCapabilities().
QList<const QTouchDevice *> QTouchDevice::devices() [static]
Returns a list of all registered devices.
Note: The returned list cannot be used to add new devices. Use QWindowSystemInterface::registerTouchDevice() instead.
QString QTouchDevice::name() const
Returns the touch device name.
This string may often be empty. It is however useful for systems that have more than one touch input device because there it can be used to differentiate between the devices (i.e. to tell from which device a QTouchEvent originates from).
See also setName().
void QTouchDevice::setCapabilities(Capabilities caps)
Sets the capabilities supported by the device and its driver.
See also capabilities().
void QTouchDevice::setName(const QString & name)
Sets the name (a unique identifier) for the device. In most systems it is enough to leave this unset and keep the default empty name. This identifier becomes important when having multiple touch devices and a need to differentiate between them.
See also name().
void QTouchDevice::setType(DeviceType devType)
Sets the device type.
See also type().
DeviceType QTouchDevice::type() const
Returns the touch device type.
See also setType().
