Press Event missing

[roland_lfor]

Hi,
Beside the RELEASE event available, it would be useful to have also a PRESS event to trigger.
For example in the FENIX A320, most of buttons takes two commands to operate, 1 to press and 1 to release button.
Thanks

Hi,

Yes it has, this is the "PRESS_CALLBACK", so I don't see it missing in any case, we just have to create two separate related functions, one for PRESS and one for RELEASE, that's it !

Hi,
Push is press in this case. In addition you can’t have a release without a press so if you have a release callback coded then you must also have the press coded.

Sorry I'm a bit lost, from the .json we have only access to the "button_released_code" event, correct?

Code: Select all

{
	"name":	"Attitude reference",
	"minor_cw_code":	"(>K:ATTITUDE_BARS_POSITION_UP)",
	"minor_ccw_code":	"(>K:ATTITUDE_BARS_POSITION_DOWN)",
    "minor_acceleration":	5,
	"major_cw_code":	"(>K:ATTITUDE_BARS_POSITION_UP)",
	"major_ccw_code":	"(>K:ATTITUDE_BARS_POSITION_DOWN)",
    "major_acceleration":	10,
	"button_released_code":	"(>K:ATTITUDE_CAGE_BUTTON)",
    "order": 103000
}

No there's also released. See the documentation:

Oh I see now. I missed that this was in the KnobFS section. I don’t use KnobFS so can’t help.

Hi,


We can't expose the pressed since that is used to determine if the edit menu should be enabled.
Otherwise when you are trying to enable the edit menu, you will trigger the mode event as well, which can be annoying.

Would it be possible to use for example Ctrl key + push to switch to the selection menu mode, and keep a single push to fire Press event?
Or left mouse click + push?
