Description
In FileMaker Go, returns a list containing these items:
• the string tap, indicating the script was started by an OnGestureTap trigger
• a value indicating the tap count
• a value indicating how many fingers were used to make the tap
• the x coordinate in the document where the gesture occurred
• the y coordinate in the document where the gesture occurred
For multi-finger gestures, the coordinates returned indicate the center point of the gesture. The y
coordinate has the header (if present) at 0. The records are listed under the header. Then the footer
follows the displayed records. In Form View, only one record is displayed. In List View and Table
View, all of the records in the current found set are displayed.
This function supports the following gestures:
• Single-tap with one, two, or three fingers
• Double-tap with one finger
Returns an empty string if this function is executed when no OnGestureTap trigger has been activated.
Note In other products in the FileMaker product line, this function is not supported and returns an
empty string.
Examples
When a script is triggered by a three-finger single tap, and the gesture occurred at the coordinates
(400, 600), this function returns:
