touchscreen problem

Unread post by Cloudless » 24 Apr 2024, 23:26

This seems so basic, I hope the solution is too!

I'm using a windows 11 touchscreen laptop (Lenovo). It works fine for buttons and sliders but not for switches.

So lets say a switch is in off position, throwing 0's. When I press it, it switches and starts throwing 1's, but if I lift off too quickly it goes back to throwing 0's after my finger leaves the screen.

If I hold my finger down for about 500 milliseconds, a transparent box appears around the contact point, and then when I lift off my finger the switch stays in the ON position throwing 1's. The box is not Holyhock specific, it appears whenever I use the touchscreen in any application or the desktop, but the problem only appears with switches in Holyhock.

I've looked in touchscreen setting both in holyhock and windows but haven't found anything relevant.

Hello . May be you can connect a button module on the toggle input of your switch .
It s a workaround solution but it could work

I don't think that would work but what has worked as a work around to use listboxes instead of switches. The problem is frustrating because great touchscreen implementation is supposed to be one of Usine's strength's compared to MAX/MSP.

Oli_lab may I ask if the box appears right away, or is there a delay of about half a second, which is the case for me.

UPDATE

I learned some stuff. First off, the square that appears after a delay represents whether the touch is sending left clicks or right clicks. When you first touch the screen it sends left clicks, but after a short delay it starts sending right clicks, this switch is represented by a transparent square around the contact point.

Now to the problem. I've been using HH6 for all of this. When I tested on the same computer in HH5 there was no problem. So this is either a HH6 bug, or a setting I can't find.

Solution found, solution found!!!

Ok, read slowly, this is highly technical stuff.

If you run into this problem. Wait for it...... Update Usine.

The bug is fixed in the current version of HH6 (6.0240502)
