Returns true if the orientation value for this event is meaningful.

◆ isPressureValid()

bool juce::MouseEvent::isPressureValid ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the current tilt value (either x- or y-axis) is meaningful.

◆ mouseWasClicked()

bool juce::MouseEvent::mouseWasClicked ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the mouse event is part of a click gesture rather than a drag.

This is effectively the opposite of mouseWasDraggedSinceMouseDown()

◆ mouseWasDraggedSinceMouseDown()

bool juce::MouseEvent::mouseWasDraggedSinceMouseDown ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the user seems to be performing a drag gesture.

This is only meaningful if called in either a mouseUp() or mouseDrag() method.

It will return true if the user has dragged the mouse more than a few pixels from the place where the mouse-down occurred or the mouse has been held down for a significant amount of time.

Once they have dragged it far enough for this method to return true, it will continue to return true until the mouse-up, even if they move the mouse back to the same location at which the mouse-down happened. This means that it's very handy for objects that can either be clicked on or dragged, as you can use it in the mouseDrag() callback to ignore small movements they might make while trying to click.

All other members of the event object are the same, but the x and y are replaced with these new values.

Member Data Documentation

◆ eventComponent

Component* const juce::MouseEvent::eventComponent

The component that this event applies to.

This is usually the component that the mouse was over at the time, but for mouse-drag events the mouse could actually be over a different component and the events are still sent to the component that the button was originally pressed on.

The x and y member variables are relative to this component's position.

If you use getEventRelativeTo() to retarget this object to be relative to a different component, this pointer will be updated, but originalComponent remains unchanged.

See also
originalComponent

◆ eventTime

const Time juce::MouseEvent::eventTime

The time that this mouse-event occurred.

◆ mods

const ModifierKeys juce::MouseEvent::mods

The key modifiers associated with the event.

This will let you find out which mouse buttons were down, as well as which modifier keys were held down.

When used for mouse-up events, this will indicate the state of the mouse buttons just before they were released, so that you can tell which button they let go of.

Referenced by juce::LassoComponent< SelectableItemType >::dragLasso().

◆ mouseDownPosition

const Point<float> juce::MouseEvent::mouseDownPosition

The coordinates of the last place that a mouse button was pressed.

The coordinates are relative to the component specified in MouseEvent::component.

See also
getDistanceFromDragStart, getDistanceFromDragStartX, mouseWasDraggedSinceMouseDown

◆ mouseDownTime

const Time juce::MouseEvent::mouseDownTime

The time that the corresponding mouse-down event occurred.

◆ numberOfClicks

const uint8 juce::MouseEvent::numberOfClicks
private

◆ orientation

const float juce::MouseEvent::orientation

The orientation of the touch input for this event in radians where 0 indicates a touch aligned with the x-axis and pointing from left to right; increasing values indicate rotation in the clockwise direction.

The default is 0.

◆ originalComponent

Component* const juce::MouseEvent::originalComponent

The component that the event first occurred on.

If you use getEventRelativeTo() to retarget this object to be relative to a different component, this value remains unchanged to indicate the first component that received it.

See also
eventComponent

◆ position

const Point<float> juce::MouseEvent::position

The position of the mouse when the event occurred.

This value is relative to the top-left of the component to which the event applies (as indicated by the MouseEvent::eventComponent field).

This is a more accurate floating-point version of the position returned by getPosition() and the integer x and y member variables.

◆ pressure

const float juce::MouseEvent::pressure

The pressure of the touch or stylus for this event.

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.

◆ rotation

const float juce::MouseEvent::rotation

The rotation of the pen device for this event in radians.

Indicates the clockwise rotation, or twist, of the pen. The default is 0.

◆ source

MouseInputSource juce::MouseEvent::source

The source device that generated this event.

◆ tiltX

const float juce::MouseEvent::tiltX

The tilt of the pen device along the x-axis between -1.0 and 1.0.

A positive value indicates a tilt to the right. The default is 0.

◆ tiltY

const float juce::MouseEvent::tiltY

The tilt of the pen device along the y-axis between -1.0 and 1.0.

A positive value indicates a tilt toward the user. The default is 0.

◆ wasMovedSinceMouseDown

const uint8 juce::MouseEvent::wasMovedSinceMouseDown
private

◆ x

const int juce::MouseEvent::x

The x-position of the mouse when the event occurred.

This value is relative to the top-left of the component to which the event applies (as indicated by the MouseEvent::eventComponent field).

For a floating-point coordinate, see MouseEvent::position

◆ y

const int juce::MouseEvent::y

The y-position of the mouse when the event occurred.

This value is relative to the top-left of the component to which the event applies (as indicated by the MouseEvent::eventComponent field).

For a floating-point coordinate, see MouseEvent::position
