Subject: How to use tkinter with a touch screen device?
To: tutor <tutor(a)python.org>
Apparently I will be finding myself having to write some programs to
run on a Samsung Slate tablet, manufactured circa 2011. It has
Windows 7 home edition 64-bit as its OS. Hopefully Python 3 will be
easily installed, and I will be able to run Python 3 programs on it.
Operating under this assumption, what adjustments will I need to make
in order to use tkinter for GUIs on this device? So far my searches
have not found targeted information (yet). One thing I did find is
that complex gestures are not supported by tkinter. But will tkinter
see:
1) Short presses as a left mouse click?
2) Long presses as a right mouse click?
3) Virtual keyboard events the same as physical keyboard events?
4) Etc. ?
Any useful info along these lines will be greatly appreciated!
Otherwise, I will do the usual once I get this tablet updated and
Python installed: Barge ahead, write some code, and see what happens!
