ESL Documentation

Use the make point disposition statement to control ESL's processing of responses to input from a pointing device. This statement affects input from either pointing device: mouse or touchscreen.

You can select either of the following dispositions:

Disposition

Meaning

normal

When ESL receives input from the pointing device, it responds to the input.

drop

When ESL receives input, it ignores the input. No input is taken until the disposition is changed to normal. At that time, each input received while drop was in effect is processed (that is, input is buffered).

The make point disposition statement helps to handle communication with an application. When you are processing a brief transaction with an application and want to ensure that the transaction is not interrupted by input from a pointing device, specify make point disposition drop. After the transaction is complete, specify make point disposition normal.
