# handleAbsolutePointerReport

Iterates through absolute pointer elements and dispatches them if the element value has been updated.

```
virtual void handleAbsolutePointerReport(uint64_t timestamp, uint32_t reportID);
```

## Parameters

`timestamp`

The timestamp of the input report.

`reportID`

The report ID.

## Discussion

This method iterates over the absolute pointer elements from the report and dispatches events for any changed values. The system calls this method automatically when a new report arrives; don’t call this method yourself.
