Enhancement Request - AcuToWeb W$MOUSE on IOS (iPad & iPhone)

Revise AcuToWeb execution on IOS to support W$MOUSE routines.   Associate finger taps to AcuCobol W$MOUSE coding.  Perhaps the following:

1-finger-tap held ==>   left-button-pushed

1-finger-quick-tap ==>   left-button-released

1-finger-2-quick-taps   ==>   left-button-double-clicked

1-finger-tap-held with 2nd-finger-double-tap ==>   right-button-double-clicked

and be able to determine the position with GET-MOUSE-STATUS (in pixels)

or another possibility using Push-Buttons to know what is being tapped is to have transparent Push-Buttons that don't actually display, (or that only show an outline with whatever image is behind it showing through). Then I could have a couple hundred of these push-buttons positioned where I might service the operator's tap to determined where they tapped.

I currently have a routine that displays a graphic, representing a layout of a marina, that the operator can double click to show the name of the boat & owner occupying the slip, the size of slip, and/or to assign the slip to a new boat.

Thanks

     , what do you think of this: https://bit.ly/3svclhs

    It works for me on Android, and it "almost" works on an IPad.
    (it just needs a quick rectification of the position where the pop-up menu appears; something we can fix in a week)

    How it works today: 
    1-finger-quick-tap = left-button-pushed
    1-finger-tap held = right-button-pushed = the popup menu is shown

    This is a way to replicate the Push Buttons you'd like to have in your "marina" screen.
    Unfortunately, a PB cannot be transparent, but you can apply a bitmap over it and simulate the graphic you'd like to have.

    We are available for discussing this further.

    Looking forward for your feedback.
