Implementation

  • The sample uses TImage to display and define a 2D image component.
  • The TGestureManager class is used to manage all the touch and gesturing functionalities of the application.
  • The TGestureEventInfo describes a gesture event. It is a record that contains information about a gesture event. The TGestureEvent type passes a TGestureEventInfo record to the user code.

The sample shows a picture. When the user holds press a finger on the picture, the TGestureEventInfo detects a long tap gesture and the screen shows a message with the location and date-time information of the long tap. The sample uses the field Location of the TGestureEventInfo to show the screen tap location and the FormatDateTime to show the date-time value of the long tap.
