TouchKit Settings...

I noticed a problem with my Touchscreen today while working on a Plugin. It would only let me click at a rate of about 1 per seconds. I had been clicking at about 2x per second and since the button changed states, I noticed that it only changed on 'every other' click. So, it was only seeing one of the two clicks.

After tweaking the Settings in TouchKit I found out that if I go to the Settings tab, and set the 'Double-Click' Time all the way to the left(as short as possible) then on my Touchscreen I could 'single' click much faster. I can just tap, tap, tap away on my plugin and it works much much better. Have not tested this in TB yet, but it should also receive clicks better in the same way.

Not sure why this helped. Maybe since it doesn't have to 'wait' and look for a second click for the double-click for so long, it sees the single click more often?

Also, I read a post that said to Disable the 'Auto Right Click' also on the Settings tab, which I just did. But what problems does that cause? I don't remember having any problems, but maybe I did and didn't know it???

New FAQ?
I've been using TouchKit for over a year now, and didn't know this stuff. Are there any other tips about TouchKit anybody can share?? I can post them in a TouchKit Settings FAQ...

Correction:
Don't set the Double-Click Speed 'all' the way to the left, or your Double-Click won't work. I just found out.

But just setting it very low, 'almost' all the way to the left still works great, and my double-clicking now works again..

So, set it as low as you can and still get your double-click to work.

Just tried it in a profile with my new Music Player Plugin (soon to be released) and man is it great. Now I can quickly tab the volume, song skip, and other buttons and see much faster responses.

the "Auto right click" option enables the TouchKit to watch for a long press (i.e holding your finger down on screen), and it then decides that you actually wanted to select the right mouse button and tries to bring the menu options up.... which has the added side effect of then unselecting the left mouse click on the button you are pressing. Not good if you are using a "touch" button which you need to hold down. Disabling this option will make sure than when you press the screen and hold it, the touchkit will keep the right mouse button down as long as your are pressing the screen.

Quick question

I recently got a lilliput touchscreen, just wondering if it is possible to get rid of the annoying picture of the mouse in the bottom right corner, the one that tells you if you are clicking with right or left button?

Yes, when you right click the icon in the System Tray, there is a menu item called Button. Just click it to toggle that thing.
