Touch Areas

[Mike AA]

I am looking to make my touchscreen code simpler by using the Touch Area objects instead of making a box of the coordinates with greater than less than components. I haven't been able to find any documentation specific for Touch Areas so I've been doing a bit of trial and error. On the output side of the show screen if I connect a checkpoint I can read the "state" of the touch area. Has anyone else used these yet and is this the best way to read areas for a touch screen? I am using the DM1200.

Hi mikeaa12,

In the PLUS+1 GUIDE user manual you can search for "Touch Display Functionality" and get information about the touch function.

Good Luck

You may know this already but just in case!

Almost any object displayed on the the screen can generate a touch output when touched.
For example, if you have an image representing a button you can create a U16 output, select your image and in the inspector drill down through Touch-Stream-Output and set the signal to the output you created. You will then get a Signal on that output representing the type of touch for that image. I find that I seldom need to use a Touch Area.
