I am buying a Tablet PC before the end of the year. I want to be able to use it for development work. Which one will give me the most Bang-for-the-Buck? I realize this is not truly a programming question, but, as I am going to use it for programming and I have been unable to find an answer elsewhere I thought I would post it here. ...
When on a Tablet PC, touching the screen with your pen is interpreted as a click. The sensitivity is adjusted so that even if your pen slips a little bit, it is still interpreted as a click; you have to move a certain distance before it becomes a drag-n-drop event. In a notebook style application, however, you never want to "click" insi...
Is anyone aware of a sane way to get tablet/stylus pressure information on Windows? It's possible to distinguish stylus from mouse with ::GetMessageExtraInfo, but you can't get any more information beyond that. I also found the WinTab API in a out of the way corner of the Wacom site, but that's not part of windows as far as i can tell,...
I have been trying to implement the autocomplete functionality mentioned here. The problem is I am developing on a windows xp machine and I cant seem to find the right dlls used to develop this feature. Using vista for development is not an option, but the production environment is on a Vista Tablet PC. I have downloaded and installed...
In a windows version with tablet support, a small keyboard icon appears when an edit control gets focus. If you touch it the touch keyboard pops up. Is there a way to disable this? It's rather inconvenient if you have your own touch keyboard. I want to disable it for certain edit controls in code, ie. I'm not looking for a Windows sett...
Hi, I need to capture a signature in my application as an image (GIF/TIFF,..whatever). Does anyone knows a good API for doing this (COM/ActiveX is preffered). I've read about Wintab, but it looks obsolete... Does reasent version of windows includes a standard API for doing this? Thanks, Matra ...
I am testing an application that was developed in C#, .Net 3.5 SP 1, and WPF. It runs just fine on all kinds of hardware running XP. Including really old 386's with little memory and slow hard drives. However, we are having problems with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 SP 2. We are seeing what looks like a memory leak, which we h...
I have a Flash (AS3, CS3) piece that has a button that will make the piece go full screen. stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; This works great in all of the computers that I have tested it in except a tablet PC (HP 2710p is the only tablet I have to test on, but I hear the same behavior happens on all tablets). Does an...
I recently broke my finger and can now only type with my right hand. This has seriously impacted my typing speed. Since I write software for a living, this is a serious problem. I have been doing some research, but haven't found a great solution yet. Here's what I've come up with: Wacom tablet + hand writing recognition software. Is i...
A family member had a stroke a few years back and now has expressive aphasia. She understands what is said to her, is cognitive of what is going on, but cannot express herself. She is able to respond to yes/no questions (do you want to go shopping? are you looking for your earrings?) She is not, however, able to read (English is not her ...
Obviously you dont have a mouse over effect on a touchscreen, but I would like some effect, maybe onclick? Does anybody have any suggestions? ...
I'm writing a hack that sits in the system tray and corrects tablet pen input under very specific circumstances. I need to intercept only touch and pen input, test some conditions, and then translate the coordinates before the rest of the operating system sees the event. Is this possible? I'm willing to write a simple driver if I need to...
I've actually got an Windows/Java Question. I've got a plugged-in device which I want to access via Java. Normally you can access an e.g. USB-Stick via the Drive letter... but this tablet is displayed by Windows as a "Portable Device"... which means, that the Path is something like "Computer\Archos 5S" and there is no Drive letter. I ...
Does anyone have a clue how to completely disable the touch/tablet 'magic' introduced in Windows Vista? When I follow the steps on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb969148(VS.85).aspx (both SetProp disable and WM_TABLET_QUERYSYSTEMGESTURESTATUS override) I succeed in stopping windows from treating press-and-hold as a right-click...
I'm thinking that it may be useful to be able to use handwriting recognition to write code. I can't seem to find evidence of people doing this. So, my questions are: is it possible, has someone done it, if so, what did they think? ...
I am currently developing a Winforms Application that will run on a very specific tablet PC. My development environment uses dual-17" monitors which are far bigger than the tablet screen size of 10.4" (1024x768). Due to the purchasing department at my company the delivery of the tablet will not be until well into the design cycle. ...
I have looked at many open source GPS programs that can parse GPS data from an external GPS device that connects to the computer via a serial port. But what about built-in GPS devices like a Panasonic Toughbook (a Windows XP Tablet)? Do these devices transmit their GPS data through a serial port? Thanks. ...
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible in Cocoa/Carbon to detect whether a key combination (e. g. Ctrl + Z) comes from a Wacom button or the keyboard itself. Thanks best xonic ...
I'm not a software developer, but I have done enough reading online to get the Android SDK, Eclipse, and the necessary downloads to get it all working. I am able to capture device screenshots using the DDMS, but I need to capture full motion video of the system OS and apps for an Android TV commercial. So far I've called the manufa...
I would like to test my application with new Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet. What parameter should I set in emulator to emulate this device? What resolution and density should I set?
