I have a gridpanellayout that has about 16 rows and 5 columns. Each field has, for example a TRectangle set to TalignLayout.Client.. Each rectangle has an onclick event that performs an action ( e.g., highlighting the clicked rectangle by changing its color ). With 16 rows, my gridpanel exceeds the height of a user device such as an iPhone, and so i have the Grid placed on top of a VerticalScrollbox.
What would be the best way to decipher between a user using a finger to scroll, vs using touch to highlight an item. I supposed to easiest option I've thought of it simply changing an on click event to a double click event.
Any suggestions?
My suggestion and workaround is use the MouseDown and the MouseDown Events with a bit of time measurement in between.
unit UnitMainForm;
interface

FMX.Types, FMX.Controls, FMX.Forms, FMX.Graphics, FMX.Dialogs, FMX.StdCtrls,

end;
var
Form1: TForm1;

{$R *.fmx}
uses
System.DateUtils;
procedure TForm1.Button1MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Single);
begin
FTimeStamp := Now;
TButton(Sender).Text := 'Mouse Down';
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1MouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Single);
begin
TButton(Sender).Text := 'Mouse Up ' + IntToStr(MilliSecondOf(Now-FTimeStamp));
if (MilliSecondOf(Now-FTimeStamp) < 200) then
begin
TButton(Sender).Text := TButton(Sender).Text + ' OK';
end;
end;
end.
If the time past less then 200 ms an Finger Touch is suggested and you should good to go.
