> ## Introduction

> Elo SDK provides a programmers API for communication with the Elo Serial and USB drivers. The following functionality is available for programming:

> Get Raw and Calibrated Touch Points from the Touchscreen

> > Gets touch data from the controller. This data can be retrieved in raw elo coordinates or translated windows coordinate format. To get data use EloGetTouch.� This call may block depending on the flags used for type of data expected. To cancel the blocking call use EloCancel.

> > EloGetTouch

> > EloCancel

> > EloCancelEx

> ### Change Touchscreen Operation Modes

> Touchscreen operates in the following modes: Click On Touch: Click on touch immediately sends a mouse down/up message at the point of touch on the touchscreen. The user's finger must be removed from the touchscreen before a new touch at any location will be recognized. The cursor or selected objects CANNOT be "dragged" on the screen in this mode. Click On Release: At the time of release (untouch), a mouse down/up message is sent at the point that the screen was last touched. Dragging across objects on the screen will not highlight or select them unless untouch occurs when the touch is over the object. (Drag and Double-click) Mouse Emulation: Sends a mouse down message at the point of contact. Selects an object if it was at the initial point of contact. Drags a selected object on the screen. Sends a mouse up message at the point of untouch. Double-clicks on an object when the screen is touched twice in succession at the same location. These are the same as the touch modes in the Elo Control Panel. You may get or change the operation mode using the calls listed below: EloGetMouseMode EloSetMouseMode

> ### Configure Drag Delay

Dragdelay allows the drag functionality for touchscreen. Touchscreen must be calibrated before using this functionality. This value can be retrieved or modified using: EloGetDragDelay EloSetDragDelay

> ### Enable/Disable Touch Functionality

The Touchscreen can be enabled to report touch data to the windows system or disabled not to report any touch data. EloGetTouchState EloSetTouchState

### Configure Sound During Touch

Every complete touch is indicated by a beep from the system. Touchscreen must be calibrated before using this functionality. The frequency and time and beep is configurable. EloGetBeep EloSetBeep

### Save Alignment for Touchscreen Using Calibration API

Elo provides a standard calibration utility for video alignment. The CALIBRATION is used to convert touches from the Elo coordinate system to Windows virtual coordinate system. The driver uses the following equation to convert a raw touch coordinate point from Elo coordinate system to the Windows screen coordinate system. Calibration equation is Xcal = a + m*Xuncal, where, Xuncal, is in Elo coordinate system Xcal, is in Windows coordinate system m = nScrDx / nEloDx "a", is the X offset value entry nScrDx = distance between targets in Windows virtual coordinates nEloDx = distance between targets in Elo coordinates. This is specially useful if you want to save the calibration over the network or some other place, and later configure the touchscreen using one common set of data. To get the current calibration data from the driver, use EloGetCalibrationData. For changing the calibration data use EloSetCalibrationData . EloGetCalibrationData EloSetCalibrationData

### Define Touchscreen Boundary

Touchscreen boundary defines the bounding rectangle for the touchscreen on Windows virtual desktop. This allows / prohibits touch on one monitor from being propagated to the corresponding monitor. Touchscreen must be calibrated before using this functionality. EloGetTouchBoundary EloSetTouchBoundary

### Swap Touchscreen Buttons

Use this call to use the touchscreen with swapped button for next couple of touches on the screen. Swaps the button for the touch monitor for the touch count specified. Once the count is exhausted, the SDK notifies the application by sending a WM_SWAPBUTTON message to the application window. Touchscreen must be calibrated before using this functionality. EloSwapButton

### Configure Touchscreen for Left-handed Users

For left-handed users of mouse, set the touchscreen mode using EloSetLeftHandedMouse call. EloSetLeftHandedMouse

### Retrieve Touchscreen Diagnostic Data

Diagnostic information for touchscreen can be retrieved using EloGetDiagnosticsData. This information is also displayed in the Elo Control panel>Properties tab. EloGetDiagnosticData

### Configure Touchscreen for Gaming Specific Mode by Enabling Quick Touch

Quick touch is an enhanced mode of the touchscreen, usually used for gaming purposes. In standard operation, touches on screen following each other very quickly in "Mouse Emulation" mode creates a system drag box. This feature allows the touches following each other quickly to be interpreted as independent touches resulting in separate mouse clicks. Touchscreen must be calibrated before using this functionality. EloGetQuickTouch EloSetQuickTouch

### Configure Edge Acceleration Feature

Touching towards the edge of the touchscreen can be difficult at times. This feature allows the cursor to be accelerated towards the screen edges. Touchscreen must be calibrated before using this functionality. EloGetAcceleration EloSetAcceleration

### Define Touchscreen to Automatically Timeout After Constant Touch in Same
Location Using Untouch Timeout Feature

If touches are created in the same constant location, an automatic untouch is generated by the driver based on this timeout. For dirt on a screen this is a very handy feature. Touchscreen must be calibrated before using this functionality. EloGetUntouchTimeout EloSetUntouchTimeout

### Configure Right Click on Hold Functionality

This feature allows touchscreen to generate right clicks. A right click is generated when the user continues to touch the screen. Touchscreen must be calibrated before using this functionality. This can be configured using: EloGetRightClickOnHold EloSetRightClickOnHold

EloPubIf.lib provides the SDK for communicating with Elo Serial and USB drivers. In order to communicate with either of the drivers, add this library to the list of compile time dependencies of your application and use the appropriate interface function calls in your program. Include the header file, EloInterface.h and EloErrorCodes.h in your application.

These files can be found on Program Files\EloTouchsystems folder.

The user's finger must be removed from the touchscreen before a new touch at any location will be recognized. The cursor or selected objects CANNOT be "dragged" on the screen in this mode.

CLICK_ON_RELEASE: Click on release sends at the time of release (untouch) a mouse down/up message at the point that the screen was last touched. Dragging across objects on the screen will not highlight or select them unless untouch occurs when the touch is over the object. (Drag and Double-click)

MOUSE_EMULATION: Sends a mouse down message at the point of contact. Selects an object if it was at the initial point of contact. Drags a selected object on the screen. Sends a mouse up message at the point of untouch. Double-clicks on an object when the screen is touched twice in succession at the same location.
