Scott, did you ever figure this out? When are you capturing the mouse locations? If I remember right, they are accurate if you store them on mouseDown.

Re: Mouse messages in scrollers
It was "delayTouches" mostly. Default is true, I had to set it to false. I also set canCancelTouches to false but didn't test how necessary that was. Default for that is also true. This allowed messages to pass through to LC, but you had to very deliberately swipe, holding down a moment so the mouseDown would fire. Brian Milby came up with a faster solution using something like Jim MacConnell's suggestion -- make the contentRect wider than the group so that a horizontal swipe triggers scrollerDidScroll. Lock direction to vertical to prevent wiggle. That proved to be a the solution for a more natural swipe. You have to branch for Android because it doesn't have a lockDirection property; for that OS keep the contentRect the same width as the group. Mouse messages pass through to LC automatically, which is good because the above two settings don't exist on Android. Swiping is such a normal behavior on mobile, I'd like to see an easier method in LC to accomodate all this.

Re: Mouse messages in scrollers
I don't have an answer and hope someone else does. I hate my workaround. My workaround is to leave a space on either side of the field (45 px or so.. haven't tried to minimize). After the user gets frustrated enough, they end to do a swipe near the edge of the screen (across the blank space and not starting in the field) and that I can trap for and make work. Once they’ve done it once or twice, they routinely go to the edge of the screen to swipe and it becomes natural. Jim > On May 19, 2020, at 2:21 PM, J.

But since the group is exactly as wide as the field it encloses, it does not scroll horizontally and so no scrollerDidScroll message is sent. I also do not get scrollerBegin/EndDrag, touchStart or touchEnd, or any other message I can think of to track a horizontal swipe. I do get mouseUp/Down when tapping on the scroller but that doesn't help here. How would I detect a horizontal swipe on a non-moving scroller? The user can't navigate without it. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
