Overview

S60 5th Edition supports touch events. Pointer events are sended to the active ui application container control if pointer/stylus is on the application.

Container control base class implementation CCoeControl::HandlePointerEvent() redirects events to its child controls. Child control receives events if its borders (TRect) are inside pointer event. You have to remember implement event handling CCoeControl::HandlePointerEvent() into every ui controls in your application.

If you want that one ui control receives all pointer events, it can be done by CCoeControl::SetPointerCapture()
