Hi, just forgot how to monitor a button press in the touchpanel. I need to be able to know when someone has touched the panel.
Sorry for the dumb question?
Thanks in advance

If it's the latter then it just:

What I want to do is use the panel like a slideshow. I need to create conditions that if no buddy touches the panel for sort amount of time, start flipping pages to use the panel like a slideshow. If someone touches it, will stop and return to the main page or the previous page.
One of our special request of our special kind of client.
Thanks,
Is there any way in getting some acknowledgement when the panel is touched wherever? (not necessarily on a button, but, obviously, on the touch sensitive area...)
Let's say, for closing a popup whenever an area outside the actual window is tapped. Something similar to what happens in Windows if one right-clicks and then clicks anywhere else but on the popup menu itself.
Some of the panels have motion sensors that could at least let you know when someone is moving nearby. That sensor can be set to a specific channel and port. So you could have something in the program to automatically watch that and, after some time, switch on the slide show.
Panels can also let you know when they wake from sleep.
Another thing you can do also is have a universal button event that resets a timer and after a while of no button pushes, have it go to the slide show.
That's done by: ... just some ideas.
Not that I'm aware of. You'd basically have to make a big button everywhere else. What I generally do in this situation is make the popup modal so they can't click outside of it.

I thought so... This is also what I am doing, but seems to be a redundant work since the panel knows when it's touched, just doesn't share it with the control processor. For WAKE and BEEPS for instance....
