Hi there, I have a VS2005 deployment & setup project, that makes use of the Tablet PC SDK 1.7 Merge Module, so users of Windows XP can make use of the managed Microsoft.Ink.DLL library. Now that we've moved over to Vista/VS2008, do I still need to install the TPC SDK (to get the merge module) or can I make use of something that Vista h...

I was working on a tablet PC using zoho notebook (http://notebook.zoho.com) earlier today and noticed that stylus input is not as accurate or smooth as something like say, OneNote. It seems like the functionality is done in javascript, so my question then becomes: Is it possible to increase the accuracy (for pen tool functionality that i...
How do I check if the user clicked with a mouse or with a pen stylus on a C# control. For eg. If the user clicks a text box with a pen button then I want an input panel to pop up but if he clicks with a mouse then it shouldn't. So how do I check whether he was using a mouse or a pen? Edit: Using Windows Forms not WPF ...
Hi all, I have a wpf application (I use CAL) for a tablet pc. I created a custom text input panel. Now is my question: How can I disable the default TextInputPanel?

I'm developing an application for a Windows based tablet PC. This application is pretty much a port of an application I already developed on a Windows Mobile device using .NET CF. I want to write the application from scratch, taking advantage of all of the knowledge I've gained in software development. I'd also like to write this new ...
We developed a Swing GUI system running on PC, and the boss wants it to run on a special tablet PC too. Does anyone know what else we can do to achieve it? How to make a Swing GUI support touch operation? The touch-support driver of the tablet PC is necessary, of course. ...
How can I tell Windows not to do unhelpful pre-processing on tablet pen events? I am programming in Python 2.6, targetting tablet PCs running Windows 7 (though I would like my program to work with little modification on XP with a SMART interactive whiteboard, and for mouse users on Linux/Mac). I've written a program which hooks into the...
Simple question, hope the answer won't be: "You cant" :-) How (in code) can I subscribe to a "global" stylus down event. Windows 7 obviously does it in some way, as the little tablet icon appears as soon as I use the stylus (wacomm pen and touch, but this seems irrelevant). I want to create a simple drawing app which runs silently in t...
Hi, I was wondering if there was any way to get only the modified (or new) ContextNodes (word nodes) from the InkAnalyzer. I am trying to recreate something similar to the word suggestion combo boxes in Windows Tablet Input Panel. Does anyone know how I might be able to get only the modified nodes? Thanks in advance for any help. Cheer...
I am writing a drawing program using PyQt4 for Windows 7. When my program is in "Drawing" mode, I use a InkCollector COM object to collect the ink strokes. When the tablet stylus is pressed down, the InkCollector object supresses the cursor and only shows a writing tip. When the stylus is hovering, I see the normal cursor and it flickers...
I am using RealTimeStylus to get Ink data in a WPF application. This works fine until the window on which I collect the ink loses focus. When I draw on the window after that, the AsyncStylusPlugin does not receive Packets, StylusUp or StylusDown events, even if it get the focus again. The curious thing is that this problem only occurs o...

We have a customer who needs some simple forms (probably we would be creating a simple Winforms app for them) but there is a requirement to capture a mix of input fields plus some freehand drawing. It's the freehand drawing which worries us. They will be using a tablet pc with stylus. The customer is running Office 2007. This project ...
To start off, we have 2 servers: Alpha (Server 2008 R2) and Beta (Server 2008). We cannot create images Beta using Microsoft.Ink.dll (we have version 1.7.2600.2180). The code works great on Alpha (Server 2008 R2) but on Beta (Server 2008) it fails. Our code is compiled in x86 and both server's app pools are set to allow x86 programs. ...
I am looking for a solution for a client who has a drawing tablet (an input device that simulates mouse movements using a pen) attached to her computer to directly "draw" on an area on a web page. I will then need the results send to a server side script, PHP in my case. Essentially, this would be a simple mouse drawing canvas with the...
