Struct Pointer 

pub struct Pointer {
    pub pos: Option<Pos2>,
    pub buttons: [bool; 5],
    pub modifiers: Modifiers,
    pub now: f64,
    pub reset_clicks: bool,
    /* private fields */
}

Fields

pos: Option<Pos2>

buttons: [bool; 5]

modifiers: Modifiers

now: f64

egui’s clock for the frame being drained, set by drain_input before the frame’s commands run.

reset_clicks: bool

Set by click_gap: the queue replaces egui’s PointerState with a fresh one after this frame’s commands.

Implementations

impl Pointer

pub fn state(&self) -> PointerState

pub fn moved(&mut self, x: f32, y: f32, out: &mut Vec<Event>)

pub fn button( &mut self, button: Button, pressed: bool, out: &mut Vec<Event>, ) -> Result<(), String>

pub fn click_gap(&mut self) -> bool

Start a NEW click sequence: forget egui’s click history when an injected click is still inside its multi-click window. Returns whether it did.

egui counts clicks by time, and checks the place only against the LAST click, so a click on one widget a few frames (1/60 s each headless) before a double click on another makes the double a TRIPLE, and a widget clicked twice by two scripted single clicks reads the second as a double (ecad-kicad-dialog-folders-2026-09-23).

The history is egui’s PointerState, whose click times are private; the queue swaps in PointerState::default() (its options are refreshed every pass). egui’s CLOCK is not touched: the first version jumped it past the window instead, and the app’s own timers saw the jump, so a toast aged 0.6 s per click (ecad-mcp-click-count-export-wording). The window is the TRIPLE one, twice the double’s: the second click of a new double looks two clicks back. Nothing is reset while a button is held (a drag in progress lives in the same state), or when the last click is already outside the window.

pub fn gone(&mut self, out: &mut Vec<Event>)

pub fn wheel(&mut self, dx: f32, dy: f32, unit: WheelUnit, out: &mut Vec<Event>)

pub fn set_modifiers(&mut self, m: Modifiers)

pub fn key( &mut self, name: &str, pressed: bool, repeat: bool, out: &mut Vec<Event>, ) -> Result<(), String>

pub fn text(&mut self, text: &str, out: &mut Vec<Event>)
