I want to implement a GUI element that works like a button that reacts different on right/left clicks and dragging.
Say this button is an object. Who is in charge to call the right method on mouseevents from the button and how is it designed in usual programming languages like e.g. AWT in Java?
I don't claim that this is 'the professional way' but this is how I do it.
With lazy initialization and anonymous classes.
private JButton btnSpecialbutton;
private JButton getBtnSpecialbutton() {
if (btnSpecialbutton == null) {
btnSpecialbutton = new JButton("SpecialButton");
btnSpecialbutton.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() {
#Override
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("Dragged");
}
});
btnSpecialbutton.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if(e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON1)
{
System.out.println("Left Mouse Button");
}
else if(e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON3)
{
System.out.println("Right Mouse Button");
}
}
});
}
return btnSpecialbutton;
}

What events should I listen to on a UWP Xaml Slider to determine when the user begins and ends manipulation.
This functionality is important when you have a slider that represents some continuously changing app state (say, an animation time) and you want to pause the update when the user interacts with the slider.
This question has been answered for WPF and Windows Phone, but not UWP. The other solutions do not work, or are incomplete, for UWP.
You need to listen to interaction events from a couple of the elements of the Slider template: the Thumb, and the Container. This is because the user can manipulate the thumb directly by clicking and dragging it, but also they can click anywhere on the slider and the thumb will jump to that location (even though it looks like you are then manipulating the Thumb, actually the thumb is just being relocated every time the mouse moves - you are still interacting with the container).
There are a couple caveats:
the thumb and container both process their input events and do not pass them on, so you need to use the AddHandler method of attaching RoutedEvent handlers so that you get events which have already been processed.
you need to attach the event handlers after the control template has been applied, which means you need to subclass the Slider to override a protected method.
The RoutedEvent handler information is covered here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xaml-platform/events-and-routed-events-overview#registering-handlers-for-already-handled-routed-events
The following SliderEx class adds some events which can be used to detect when the user begins/ends interacting with the slider:
public class SliderEx : Slider
{
public event EventHandler SliderManipulationStarted;
public event EventHandler SliderManipulationCompleted;
public event EventHandler SliderManipulationMoved;
private bool IsSliderBeingManpulated
{
get
{
return this.isContainerHeld || this.isThumbHeld;
}
}
private bool isThumbHeld = false;
private bool isContainerHeld = false;
protected override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
base.OnApplyTemplate();
var thumb = base.GetTemplateChild("HorizontalThumb") as Thumb;
if (thumb == null)
{
thumb = base.GetTemplateChild("VerticalThumb") as Thumb;
}
if (thumb != null)
{
thumb.DragStarted += this.Thumb_DragStarted;
thumb.DragCompleted += this.Thumb_DragCompleted;
thumb.DragDelta += this.Thumb_DragDelta;
}
var sliderContainer = base.GetTemplateChild("SliderContainer") as Grid;
if (sliderContainer != null)
{
sliderContainer.AddHandler(PointerPressedEvent,
new PointerEventHandler(this.SliderContainer_PointerPressed), true);
sliderContainer.AddHandler(PointerReleasedEvent,
new PointerEventHandler(this.SliderContainer_PointerReleased), true);
sliderContainer.AddHandler(PointerMovedEvent,
new PointerEventHandler(this.SliderContainer_PointerMoved), true);
}
}
private void SliderContainer_PointerMoved(object sender,
Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.InvokeMove();
}
private void SliderContainer_PointerReleased(object sender,
Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.SetContainerHeld(false);
}
private void SliderContainer_PointerPressed(object sender,
Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.SetContainerHeld(true);
}
private void Thumb_DragDelta(object sender, DragDeltaEventArgs e)
{
this.InvokeMove();
}
private void Thumb_DragCompleted(object sender, DragCompletedEventArgs e)
{
this.SetThumbHeld(false);
}
private void Thumb_DragStarted(object sender, DragStartedEventArgs e)
{
this.SetThumbHeld(true);
}
private void SetThumbHeld(bool held)
{
bool wasManipulated = this.IsSliderBeingManpulated;
this.isThumbHeld = held;
this.InvokeStateChange(wasManipulated);
}
private void SetContainerHeld(bool held)
{
bool wasManipulated = this.IsSliderBeingManpulated;
this.isContainerHeld = held;
this.InvokeStateChange(wasManipulated);
}
private void InvokeMove()
{
this.SliderManipulationMoved?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}
private void InvokeStateChange(bool wasBeingManipulated)
{
if (wasBeingManipulated != this.IsSliderBeingManpulated)
{
if (this.IsSliderBeingManpulated)
{
this.SliderManipulationStarted?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}
else
{
this.SliderManipulationCompleted?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
}

How to detect UI object on Canvas on Touch in android?
For example, I have a canvas that have 5 objects such as Image, RawImage, Buttons, InputField and so on.
When I touch on Button UI object Then do something. Each button do different process when clicked depending.
The code will look like:
private void Update()
{
if (Input.touches.Length <= 0) return;
for (int i = 0; i < Input.touchCount; i++)
{
if (Button1.touch)
if (Input.GetTouch(i).phase == TouchPhase.Began)
login();
else if (Button2.touch && Input.GetTouch(i).phase == TouchPhase.Began)
LogOut();
}
}
So how to do it?
Second:
How to detect Gameobject get touch? Is it same with that above or not?
You don't use the Input API for the new UI. You subscribe to UI events or implement interface depending on the event.
These are the proper ways to detect events on the new UI components:
1.Image, RawImage and Text Components:
Implement the needed interface and override its function. The example below implements the most used events.
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
public class ClickDetector : MonoBehaviour, IPointerDownHandler, IPointerClickHandler,
IPointerUpHandler, IPointerExitHandler, IPointerEnterHandler,
IBeginDragHandler, IDragHandler, IEndDragHandler
{
public void OnBeginDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Drag Begin");
}
public void OnDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Dragging");
}
public void OnEndDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Drag Ended");
}
public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Clicked: " + eventData.pointerCurrentRaycast.gameObject.name);
}
public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Mouse Down: " + eventData.pointerCurrentRaycast.gameObject.name);
}
public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Mouse Enter");
}
public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Mouse Exit");
}
public void OnPointerUp(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Mouse Up");
}
}
2.Button Component:
You use events to register to Button clicks:
public class ButtonClickDetector : MonoBehaviour
{
public Button button1;
public Button button2;
public Button button3;
void OnEnable()
{
//Register Button Events
button1.onClick.AddListener(() => buttonCallBack(button1));
button2.onClick.AddListener(() => buttonCallBack(button2));
button3.onClick.AddListener(() => buttonCallBack(button3));
}
private void buttonCallBack(Button buttonPressed)
{
if (buttonPressed == button1)
{
//Your code for button 1
Debug.Log("Clicked: " + button1.name);
}
if (buttonPressed == button2)
{
//Your code for button 2
Debug.Log("Clicked: " + button2.name);
}
if (buttonPressed == button3)
{
//Your code for button 3
Debug.Log("Clicked: " + button3.name);
}
}
void OnDisable()
{
//Un-Register Button Events
button1.onClick.RemoveAllListeners();
button2.onClick.RemoveAllListeners();
button3.onClick.RemoveAllListeners();
}
}
If you are detecting something other than Button Click on the Button then use method 1. For example, Button down and not Button Click, use IPointerDownHandler and its OnPointerDown function from method 1.
3.InputField Component:
You use events to register to register for InputField submit:
public InputField inputField;
void OnEnable()
{
//Register InputField Events
inputField.onEndEdit.AddListener(delegate { inputEndEdit(); });
inputField.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate { inputValueChanged(); });
}
//Called when Input is submitted
private void inputEndEdit()
{
Debug.Log("Input Submitted");
}
//Called when Input changes
private void inputValueChanged()
{
Debug.Log("Input Changed");
}
void OnDisable()
{
//Un-Register InputField Events
inputField.onEndEdit.RemoveAllListeners();
inputField.onValueChanged.RemoveAllListeners();
}
4.Slider Component:
To detect when slider value changes during drag:
public Slider slider;
void OnEnable()
{
//Subscribe to the Slider Click event
slider.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate { sliderCallBack(slider.value); });
}
//Will be called when Slider changes
void sliderCallBack(float value)
{
Debug.Log("Slider Changed: " + value);
}
void OnDisable()
{
//Un-Subscribe To Slider Event
slider.onValueChanged.RemoveListener(delegate { sliderCallBack(slider.value); });
}
For other events, use Method 1.
5.Dropdown Component
public Dropdown dropdown;
void OnEnable()
{
//Register to onValueChanged Events
//Callback with parameter
dropdown.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate { callBack(); });
//Callback without parameter
dropdown.onValueChanged.AddListener(callBackWithParameter);
}
void OnDisable()
{
//Un-Register from onValueChanged Events
dropdown.onValueChanged.RemoveAllListeners();
}
void callBack()
{
}
void callBackWithParameter(int value)
{
}
NON-UI OBJECTS:
6.For 3D Object (Mesh Renderer/any 3D Collider)
Add PhysicsRaycaster to the Camera then use any of the events from Method 1.
The code below will automatically add PhysicsRaycaster to the main Camera.
public class MeshDetector : MonoBehaviour, IPointerDownHandler
{
void Start()
{
addPhysicsRaycaster();
}
void addPhysicsRaycaster()
{
PhysicsRaycaster physicsRaycaster = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<PhysicsRaycaster>();
if (physicsRaycaster == null)
{
Camera.main.gameObject.AddComponent<PhysicsRaycaster>();
}
}
public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Clicked: " + eventData.pointerCurrentRaycast.gameObject.name);
}
//Implement Other Events from Method 1
}
7.For 2D Object (Sprite Renderer/any 2D Collider)
Add Physics2DRaycaster to the Camera then use any of the events from Method 1.
The code below will automatically add Physics2DRaycaster to the main Camera.
public class SpriteDetector : MonoBehaviour, IPointerDownHandler
{
void Start()
{
addPhysics2DRaycaster();
}
void addPhysics2DRaycaster()
{
Physics2DRaycaster physicsRaycaster = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<Physics2DRaycaster>();
if (physicsRaycaster == null)
{
Camera.main.gameObject.AddComponent<Physics2DRaycaster>();
}
}
public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Debug.Log("Clicked: " + eventData.pointerCurrentRaycast.gameObject.name);
}
//Implement Other Events from Method 1
}
Troubleshooting the EventSystem:
No clicks detected on UI, 2D Objects (Sprite Renderer/any 2D Collider) and 3D Objects (Mesh Renderer/any 3D Collider):
A.Check that you have EventSystem. Without EventSystem it can't detect clicks at-all. If you don't have have it, create it yourself.
Go to GameObject ---> UI ---> Event System. This will create an EventSystem if it doesn't exist yet. If it already exist, Unity will just ignore it.
B.The UI component or GameObject with the UI component must be under a Canvas. It means that a Canvas must be the parent of the UI component. Without this, EventSystem will not function and clicks will not be detected.
This only applies to UI Objects. It doesn't apply to 2D (Sprite Renderer/any 2D Collider) or 3D Objects (Mesh Renderer/any 3D Collider).
C.If this is a 3D Object, PhysicsRaycaster is not attached to the camera. Make sure that PhysicsRaycaster is attached to the camera. See #6 above for more information.
D.If this is a 2D Object, Physics2DRaycaster is not attached to the camera. Make sure that Physics2DRaycaster is attached to the camera. See #7 above for more information.
E.If this is a UI object you want to detect clicks on with the interface functions such as OnBeginDrag, OnPointerClick, OnPointerEnter and other functions mentioned in #1 then the script with the detection code must be attached to that UI Object you want to detect click on.
F.Also, if this is a UI Object you want to detect clicks on, make sure that no other UI Object is in front of it. If there is another UI in front of the one you want to detect click on, it will be blocking that click.
To verify that this is not the issue, disable every object under the Canvas except the one you want to detect click on then see if clicking it works.
You can add an EventTrigger Componenet to Your UI elements that already have these Events you just have to pass method/Function on specific event.
You could use OnMouseDown as well. OnMouseDown is called when the user has pressed the mouse button while over the GUIElement or Collider. This event is sent to all scripts of the Collider or GUIElement.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; // The new load level needs this
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
void OnMouseDown()
{
// Edit:
// Application.LoadLevel("SomeLevel");
// Application.LoadLevel() is depreciating but still works
SceneManager.LoadScene("SomeLevel"); // The new way to load levels
}
}
Do not use OnMouseDown() for mobile performance and multi-touch issues.
This code works on UI Objects for multi-touches
In my answer, I use Image element with a "Button" tag and it has a ButtonController script with a ButtonDown() public method that should be called when user touches the Image element.
Note: Image element has a 2D Collider.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
public class TouchScript : MonoBehaviour
{
void Update()
{
PointerEventData pointer = new PointerEventData(EventSystem.current);
List<RaycastResult> raycastResult = new List<RaycastResult>();
foreach (Touch touch in Input.touches)
{
if(touch.phase.Equals(TouchPhase.Began))
{
pointer.position = touch.position;
EventSystem.current.RaycastAll(pointer, raycastResult);
foreach(RaycastResult result in raycastResult)
{
if(result.gameObject.tag == "Button")
{
result.gameObject.GetComponent<ButtonController>().ButtonDown();
}
}
raycastResult.Clear();
}
}
}
}
I want extend an System.Windows.Forms.Panel(just inherit) and using a custom ControlDesigner.
I use a very minimalistic ControlDesigner implementation, just overwrite GetHitTest.
The problem is my custom panel instance is not ready to contains child controls any longer.
I play a little bit with AssociatedComponents but without effect. Remove custom designer attribute and it works great.
can someone help me to pin point whats wrong ???
[Designer(typeof(MyPanelDesigner)), ToolboxItem(true)]
public class MyPanel : System.Windows.Forms.Panel
{
// empty except for OnPaint
}
internal class DrawPanelDesigner : ControlDesigner
{
private MyPanel ParentControl
{
get
{
return Control as MyPanel;
}
}
public override System.Collections.ICollection AssociatedComponents
{
get
{
return ParentControl.Controls;
}
}
protected override bool GetHitTest(System.Drawing.Point point)
{
// hit detection for some owner drawed items in OnPaint
point = ParentControl.PointToClient(point);
var item = ParentControl.View.GetItemFromViewPoint(point.X, point.Y, true);
return null != item;
}
You are using the wrong designer. Try inheriting from the ScrollableControlDesigner instead:
internal class DrawPanelDesigner : ScrollableControlDesigner {
public DrawPanelDesigner() {
AutoResizeHandles = true;
}
private MyPanel ParentControl {
get {
return Control as MyPanel;
}
}
protected Pen BorderPen {
get {
Color penColor = Control.BackColor.GetBrightness() < .5 ?
ControlPaint.Light(Control.BackColor) :
ControlPaint.Dark(Control.BackColor);
Pen pen = new Pen(penColor);
pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;
return pen;
}
}
protected virtual void DrawBorder(Graphics graphics) {
Panel panel = (Panel)Component;
if (panel == null || !panel.Visible) {
return;
}
Pen pen = BorderPen;
Rectangle rc = Control.ClientRectangle;
rc.Width--;
rc.Height--;
graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, rc);
pen.Dispose();
}
protected override void OnPaintAdornments(PaintEventArgs pe) {
Panel panel = (Panel)Component;
if (panel.BorderStyle == BorderStyle.None) {
DrawBorder(pe.Graphics);
}
base.OnPaintAdornments(pe);
}
}
I'm developing a custom TreeView object.
I'm using a custom cellFactory to provide the TreeCell objects of my TreeView.
This allows me to install custom Context Menu on the various cells, depending on the Item they are displaying.
But I'm not entirely satisfied with the behaviour.
When left-clicking on cell, it gets selected (OK)
But when right-clicking a cell, the context menu is displayed (OK) but the cell is also selected. (NOK)
How can I change this behaviour ?
I tried to implement an eventFilter on the tree view, to consume the event if it is a right-click but this doesn't change anything, the above behaviour still applies.
addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED,
new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
if (event.getButton() == MouseButton.SECONDARY) {
event.consume();
}
}
});
setCellFactory(new Callback<TreeView<TreeDisplayable>, TreeCell<TreeDisplayable>>() {
#Override
public TreeCell<TreeDisplayable> call(
final TreeView<TreeDisplayable> treeView) {
return new TreeDisplayableTreeCell(owner, javaModel);
}
});
public class TreeDisplayableTreeCell extends TreeCell<TreeDisplayable> {
...
#Override
public void updateItem(TreeDisplayable item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
if (empty) {
setText(null);
setGraphic(null);
} else {
setText(getItem().treeViewString());
setGraphic(item.getPic());
if (getTreeItem().getParent() == null) {
// it means it's the root node
setContextMenu(new RootItemContextMenu(javaModel, owner));
} else {
setContextMenu(new TreeItemContextMenu(javaModel, owner,getTreeItem().getValue()));
}
}
}
}
Reacting on Tony's comment
Creating a custom EventDispatcher does the trick.
public class TreeEventDispatcher implements EventDispatcher {
#Override
public Event dispatchEvent(Event event, EventDispatchChain tail) {
if (event instanceof MouseEvent) {
MouseEvent mouseEvent = (MouseEvent) event;
if (mouseEvent.getButton() == MouseButton.SECONDARY) {
event.consume();
} else {
event = tail.dispatchEvent(event);
}
} else {
event = tail.dispatchEvent(event);
}
return event;
}
}
The behaviour is identical for all events, except the right click event, which is consumed, thus preventing the right-click selection of any TreeCell.
Luckily enough, the context menu is still displayed on right click (although I don't understand why ...) Does anybody have a clue ?
Previous Facewindu answer is actually working, but there is another way to achieve that behavior and still have context menu appearing on right click:
treeView.addEventFilter(MOUSE_PRESSED, event -> {
if (event.isSecondaryButtonDown()) {
Node text = (Node) event.getTarget();
TreeCell<...> treeCell = (TreeCell<...>) text.getParent();
treeCell.getContextMenu().show(treeCell, 0, 0);
event.consume();
}
});
In a SL4 application i need to restyle my TabItems (actually add a button in the header).
So i took the TabItem's control template from here and added the functionality i wanted.
This seems to work fine, (i could dynamically add tabitems) with one exception:
i think this posted control template is behaving somehow "arbitrary": every time the mouse hoovers over a non selected TabItem header, this gets selected WHITHOUT clicking!! (afaik this is not the default behavior: the user user has to click a header to make this tabitem the selected one).
I tried to find why it is behaving like this, with no luck!
Is there someone who can enlighten my darkness???
Thanks in advance!
Well it turns out the error was not in the control template but in the class, the style was applied to.
In detail: the class the style was applied to is the following (in it you will see my comment about the "wrong behavior"):
public class WorkspaceViewModel : TabItem
{
public WorkspaceViewModel()
{
DefaultStyleKey = typeof(WorkspaceViewModel);
}
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
base.OnApplyTemplate();
Button closeButtonSel = base.GetTemplateChild("PART_CloseTopSelected") as Button;
Button closeButtonUnsel = base.GetTemplateChild("PART_CloseTopUnSelected") as Button;
if (closeButtonSel != null)
closeButtonSel.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(closeButtonSel_Click);
if (closeButtonUnsel != null)
closeButtonUnsel.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(closeButtonSel_Click);
//this part is causing the effect i was complaining about!
//and has to be removed
this.MouseEnter += delegate(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
IsSelected = true;
};
}
