STYLEABLE CUSTOM BUTTON REPEAT

摘要

The described technology is directed towards a button repeat system that allows different repeat behaviors (e.g., interval times between repeats) to be customized for any view (user interface element) and for any button. A designer specifies an interval set comprising interval times to use in an associated view to repeat a button that is pressed and held. Using global information across views, a button that is pressed and held may continue to repeat as focus changes among views. The repeating may continue without needing to reset to the first interval time of the interval set of each view as focus changes, so that, for example, a rapidly repeating button does not appear to change its repetition rate as focus changes among views.

主权项

1. A method performed at least in part on at least one machine, comprising:
obtaining button event data at a view, in which the button event data corresponds to a button that is a last button still pressed; using button repeat data including a repeat interval set comprising at least two intervals associated with the button and the view to determine a first repeat interval for the button and a second repeat interval for the button; repeating the button at the view based upon the first repeat interval; and repeating the button at the view based upon the second repeat interval.
