Class ExtendedPointerEventData

An extension to PointerEventData which makes additional data about the input event available.

Inheritance
Object
ExtendedPointerEventData
Namespace: UnityEngine.InputSystem.UI
Syntax
public class ExtendedPointerEventData : PointerEventData
Remarks

Instances of this class are sent instead of by InputSystemUIInputModule for all pointer-type input.

The property will generally correspond to the deviceId of device. An exception to this are touches as each Touchscreen may generate several pointers (one for each active finger).
