Can someone explain to me how the mouse_drag, click etc. events get passed from the new touchscreen monitors get passed to a computer and maybe a sample program?

Right-clicking a monitor does the same as left-clicking a console window. Pretty much any program that uses clicks will be able to use the new advanced monitors.

although right clicking on a monitor counts as 2 left clicks on a terminal

This, yeah. Is this a bug?

it is, its not that big of a deal, just gets annoying for me when i try use my OS on it

Do I need to even wrap the peripheral or what?

[Kingdaro]

Nope. Just get clicks like you normally would.

I thought it made an entirely different event, something about a monitor click being the first thing returned. the next is the side of the monitor and the other 2 params being the co-ordinates of the clicked character. that's how it worked for me

[Kingdaro]

Well, you're more right than I am.



Apparently it returns the event "monitor_touch", then the side of the monitor, and x/y coordinates.

lol these people fix bugs so fast you just can't keep up sometimes I like the new implementation

[Lyqyd]

Getting clicks instead of monitor touch events is a behavior caused by using the monitor program to display a program on a monitor.

[KaoS]

that is so cool I didn't expect you to convert the events automatically. NICE
