A TouchEvent is an event that is triggered when a user 'touches' a GUI component. This is most commonly associated with applications that are designed to run on smart phones and touch screens. Many programming languages will treat an TouchEvent the same as a MouseEvent, which helps to provide touch functionality to applications that haven't specifically been designed for touch interactions.
