Abstract
Arrangements described herein relate to sharing a view presented on a touchscreen of a processing system. Whether a show gesture state is enabled on the processing system and whether a gesture event gate is open on the processing system are determined. The show gesture state determines whether a gesture detected by the touchscreen is depicted onto a version of the view shared with another processing system. The gesture event gate determines whether a corresponding gesture event is passed to an application that is active in the view.

1-9. (canceled)
A processing system comprising:
- a processor configured to initiate executable operations comprising:
- sharing a version of a view presented on a touchscreen of the processing system with at least a second processing system;
- determining whether a show gesture state is enabled on the processing system;
- determining whether a gesture event gate is open on the processing system;
- responsive to detecting a gesture by the touchscreen when the show gesture state is enabled and the gesture event gate is open, depicting the gesture detected by the touchscreen onto the version of the view shared with the second processing system, and passing a corresponding gesture event to an application that is active in the view;
- or
- responsive to detecting a gesture by the touchscreen when the show gesture state is enabled and the gesture event gate is not open, depicting the gesture detected by the touchscreen onto the version of the view shared with the second processing system, and not passing the corresponding gesture event to the application that is active in the view;
- or
- responsive to detecting a gesture by the touchscreen when the show gesture state is disabled and the gesture event gate is open, not depicting the gesture detected by the touchscreen onto the version of the view shared with the second processing system, and passing the corresponding gesture event to the application that is active in the view.
A computer program product for sharing a view presented on a touchscreen of a processing system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory, propagating signal per se, the program code executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- sharing a version of a view presented on a touchscreen of the processing system with at least a second processing system;
- determining whether a show gesture state is enabled on the processing system;
- determining whether a gesture event gate is open on the processing system;
- responsive to detecting a gesture by the touchscreen when the show gesture state is enabled and the gesture event gate is open, depicting the gesture detected by the touchscreen onto the version of the view shared with the second processing system, and passing a corresponding gesture event to an application that is active in the view;
- or
- responsive to detecting a gesture by a touchscreen when the show gesture state is enabled and the gesture event gate is not open, depicting the gesture detected by the touchscreen onto the version of the view shared with the second processing system, and not passing the corresponding gesture event to the application that is active in the view;
- or
- responsive to detecting a gesture by a touchscreen when the show gesture state is disabled and the gesture event gate is open, not depicting the gesture detected by the touchscreen onto the version of the view shared with the second processing system, and passing the corresponding gesture event to the application that is active in the view.
