Pen Table API

[Adrian]

Hi,

I have a Wacom Bamboo pen Table on a Vista PC, and would like to write a
small C# app that allows me to change the properties programmaticall y.



I emailed Wacom as they wrote the driver but they said to ask Microsoft!



So any one know how I can set the properties such as active monitor for a
"Pen Table" which names space? any examples?...







Thanks

Re: Pen Table API

Adrian,

Looking around on google, I found the developer FAQ for Wacom tablets:

http://www.wacomeng.com/devsupport/ibmpc/wacomwindevfaq.html

Apparently, there is an API for the tablets which is standard called
Wintab, for which they offer an SDK. You will probably have to base
whatever you are doing off this. If they export a DLL with functions you
can call, then you can use that through the P/Invoke layer.

There is a sourceforge project which provides an COM Automation wrapper
for the API:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vbtablet/

Which you could probably use through COM interop.
