Storyboard supports a list of standard events. These events are all prefixed
with gre. and can be used by your application.
The system has been initialized and is ready. This is the first event set in the system.
Data:
No data payload
An area of the screen has been damaged (visible data has changed). A redraw event may not cause actual screen drawing if the control which has changed is hidden or offscreen.
Data:
int32_t x
int32_t y
int32_t width
int32_t height
If the values are all 0 then the entire screen has been damaged
The following events are generated in response to a device such as a mouse or a touchscreen. These events are targeted at specific controls based upon the controls location and sensitivity.
A mouse/touchscreen has been pressed.
Data
uint32_t button
uint32_t timestamp
int16_t subtype
int16_t x
int16_t y
int16_t z
Where:
| GR_EVENT_BTN_LEFT - 0x0001: if this is a touchscreen then the button is always left |
| GR_EVENT_BTN_MIDDLE - 0x0002 |
| GR_EVENT_BTN_RIGHT - 0x0004 |
This is an event timestamp in milliseconds since application start
| GR_EVENT_RELEASE_IN |
| GR_EVENT_RELEASE_OUT |
This parameter is dependent on the availability of z- co-ordinate information
A mouse/touchscreen has been released.
Data

uint32_t timestamp
int16_t subtype
int16_t x
int16_t y
int16_t z
Where:

This is an event timestamp in milliseconds since application start
| GR_EVENT_RELEASE_IN |
| GR_EVENT_RELEASE_OUT |
This parameter is dependent on the availability of z- co-ordinate information
If a mouse/touchscreen presses and then releases on the same control then a touch event will be generated. This is useful for activating button style elements. If the release is found to intersect a different control then a touch event is not generated.
This event is synthetically generated by the framework based on
incoming gre.press and gre.release events.
Event redirectors should generally not include this event in their
list of redirection events.

The following events are generated on a change of control focus. If there is no focusable control on the current screen then these events will not be generated. These events are targeted at the currently or last focused control. When focus shifts from one control to another the lost focus event is sent first followed by the got focus event.
A control has received focus, delivered to the control that received the focus.
No data payload.
The following events are generated by a Table control. If no table control is present then these events will not be generated.
A table has been resized via the table resize action. This event notifies the system of the new table size and visible area.
