move, nor will any other clicks be simulated until your finger is
lifted and the screen retouched.
Mode 1
Left button clicking only. No dragging or right button is supported.
Works with large and small targets.
The mouse pointer follows your sliding finger and the left button is
clicked at the point of release (lift-off).
Mode 5
Left button clicking and dragging. No right button is supported.
The left button is held down when you touch the screen, and it stays
down until you release, dragging as you move.
Mode 6
Same as Mode 5, but supports double-clicking by tapping twice.
Recommended for general use.
If the second touch occurs immediately after the first and is nearby,
a double-click will be simulated at the exact point of the first touch.
If you do not hear two beeps, you have tapped too fast.
Double Clicking
Double clicking is common in the OS/2 environment, so MonitorMouse mouse
button emulation mode 6 is recommended. If you are running a dedicated
application which does not use double clicking, you may use one of the other
modes.
The double-click speed for the mouse can be adjusted by changing the mouse
settings in the System Setup folder. It may be helpful to adjust this threshold
towards the slower end of the scale.
The hardware limitations of the touchscreen controller, the driver software, and the
system clock combine to limit the minimum double-tapping speed. A threshold
setting which permits a rapid double click with the mouse may not allow an equal
double-click speed with the touchscreen. Use the mouse settings program to test
the double-click speed for both the mouse and the touchscreen.
If you do not hear two beeps when double tapping with some older touchscreen
controllers, you are tapping too fast. Use a relaxed pace.
