Class TruckSkin

java.lang.Object
  com.partnersoft.maps.app.AbstractMapAppSkin
      com.partnersoft.maps.app.TruckSkin

All Implemented Interfaces:

MapAppSkin

public class TruckSkin
extends AbstractMapAppSkin

A GUI implementation for truck computers. Truck computers are characterized by small screens and a touchscreen interface instead of mouse and keyboard. Therefore, this GUI implementation gets rid of any excess window decorations, makes the buttons bigger, hides the side panel most of the time, and adds a touchscreen keyboard. Since the user can't zoom in and out with the shift key, we've also added zoom buttons. One problem with the touchscreen drivers for the eGalax touchscreen, which is what we're developing with and deploying right now, is that dragging the stylus is sent as mouse motion without a mouse button press, which makes dragging difficult. The only way to trigger a mouse down event with these drivers is to hold the stylus down for a second and then drag. As a quick fix, we've added an option to treat all mouse motion as dragging the map. (note: that didn't actually work.) ?
