PKUI.CORE.translateWindowsEvents

(part of PKUI.CORE)

Return Type: string

Parameters: theEvent ( string )

Translates touch events to mouse events for Windows Phone devices. It will only do so if the current device identifies as a Windows Phone, and if the event being passed in is a touch event.

The translation matrix is as follows:

touchStart    ==>    mouseDown
touchMove     ==>    mouseMove
touchEnd      ==>    mouseUp

Example:

var theTranslatedEvent = PKUI.CORE.translateWindowsEvents ("touchStart");
// becomes mouseDown on WP

Notes

• Since the event name is the only thing translated, any event handling code that relies on touches should also be sure to check for mouse positions as well.
• Generally not called directly, but used by PKUI.CORE.addTouchListener and PKUI.CORE.removeTouchListener.
