FreeVirtualControl control
Parameters
| control: individual handle; 0 is harmless. |
Description
Cancels and removes one control without removing its group or joystick port. Invalid handles set MobileInputError$. Remaining controls keep their bindings.
Native overlays are supported on iOS, Android, macOS and Windows, including IDE run presets and saved layouts, and on the web, where the page draws them over the canvas. Controls use presentation coordinates, remain responsive during blocking input waits, and are excluded from SaveBuffer. See the mobile input guide. |
; FreeVirtualControl Example
; Virtual keyboard: movement and action use only existing keyboard commands.
