Notes
•This trigger is not supported in Windows 7.
•OnGestureTap will not activate for taps made in active web viewers or active edit boxes.
•The following gestures activate this trigger:
•Tap with one, two, or three fingers (iOS)
•Double-tap with one finger (iOS)
•Tap with two fingers (Windows)
•If you double-tap with one finger, be aware that the trigger will be activated twice: at the first tap and again at the second tap.
•Windows: On Windows devices that support gestures, a two-finger tap activates OnGestureTap in the active window, even if one finger is outside the layout window but within the FileMaker application window.
•Windows: If you tap with two fingers, the location of the gesture is the center point between the tapping fingers.
