Front Panel API

  • ej.drawing.DWDrawing

    • [Added] requestFlush(boolean): requests a call to LLUIDisplayImpl.flush().
    • [Added] requestRender(void): requests a call to Displayable.render().

  • ej.microui.display.LLUIDisplayImpl

    • [Added] Replaces MicroUIDisplay, equivalent of LLUI_DISPLAY_impl.h.

    • (b) release method is sending a release MicroUI Pointer event.
    • (c ) move method is sending a move MicroUI Pointer event.

    If only (c ) is different:

    1. Open the listener class.

    • (d) The MicroUI Command event generator name is JOYSTICK.

    If only (d) is different:

    1. Open the listener class
