SDL_HINT_PEN_DELAY_MOUSE_BUTTON

A variable controlling whether pen mouse button emulation triggers only when the pen touches the tablet surface.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_PEN_DELAY_MOUSE_BUTTON    "SDL_PEN_DELAY_MOUSE_BUTTON"

Remarks

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": The pen reports mouse button press/release immediately when the pen button is pressed/released, and the pen tip touching the surface counts as left mouse button press.
• "1": Mouse button presses are sent when the pen first touches the tablet (analogously for releases). Not pressing a pen button simulates mouse button 1, pressing the first pen button simulates mouse button 2 etc.; it is not possible to report multiple buttons as pressed at the same time. (default)

This hint can be set anytime.

Version

This hint is available since SDL 3.0.0.
