"Clickable" image in a window

Overview

WINDEV and WINDEV Mobile give you the ability to use clickable images. A clickable image is an image (displayed in an Image control) that can be clicked by the user. A specific process (click code of the image) is run.

Unlike a button, no pressed effect is seen when a clickable image is clicked.

Using a clickable image

To use a clickable image in an application:

On the "Creation" tab, in the "Usual controls" group, click "Image".
Open the control description ("Description" in the context menu of the image).
In the "Details" tab, use the click settings:
- The "This image is a clickable area" option makes the image clickable. The "Click" event is automatically added to the WLanguage events associated with the control.
- "Priority for clicks" allows to intercept the click on the image, regardless of the Z-order of the Image control in the window. If this option is not checked, the Image control must be displayed in the foreground to intercept the mouse click.
- Specify whether the image will be handled by the user. For more details, see Context menu of Image controls.

Click areas and multi-touch
If the image is considered as being a click area, you can:

manage the first touch on the image (default operating mode in the earlier versions). If several pointers (fingers) are used on the image, the different corresponding processes (pressed/left button down, click, etc.) are called only when the first pointer is used.
manage multi-touch on the image ("Recall processes for each pointer (multiple pointers)"): If several pointers (fingers) are used on the image, the different corresponding processes/events (pressed/left button down, click, etc.) are called on each additional pointer used.

For more details, see Multi-touch support.

Several applications may share data when they are started at the same time. In this case, you may have to use a shared memory zone. This memory zone will allow all the started applications to share some information.
