Go to the Windows search box in Windows 10, next to the Start buttonĪt the bottom is a subsection, Pen ButtonsĬlick the box that says Use the pen as a right click button equivalent The list time the external pen worked flawlessly was when Bill Gates was interested in it back in Windows XP days, my Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet worked beautify, and Wacom Pen Tablet worked very well as well, even Internet Explorer provided more functionalityįor a Pen like the scrolling hand once the guy left, and the pen support at Microsoft just went to the trashįor anyone having problems with their Wacom pen not functioning in right click mode, here's what 30 minutes (with no answers) and searching around a bit more online led me to discover:
We, developers, will write a Device Driver for the Wacom Tablet myself, will put it as open source on the internet, where is the Microsoft Pen Device Driver Specs and Clear Documents and Sample for Pen Input? Whatever out there is for a mouse that may be Now I know why device manufacturers struggle, Microsoft just did not provide anything to clearly state “Hey, this is how Windows 8 or 8.1 or 10 expects to receive pen events” and now it is up to each developer to figure out workarounds. I am a software developer, and I want to download the Demo Microsoft Pen Driver sample, and wire it to a Wacom tablet, change the Wacom input values to the one provided by the tablet, compile it and done.īut wait, there isn’t any sample by Microsoft out there! Nice there is some sample about a mouse, and that’s it. That’s it, no more no less, this does not even have to be compatible with Windows 10 if the driver model for Windows 10 Pen did not change, as simple as that, the rest will be taken care by Windows How hard is it to produce a Pen Tablet driver?Ģ- Send the Pen location events as Windows Pen locationģ- Send the Pen tap events as Window Pen tap eventsĤ- Send the Pen Pressure events as Windows Pen pressure eventsĥ- Send the Pen angle events as Windows Pen angle events (if Windows supports that, not sure).Ħ- Send the Pen button press events as Windows button press events.ħ- Send the tablet touch events as windows touch events Maybe it is not Wacom or the others this time, maybe it is Microsoft! Search Amazon for Pen Tablets, there are plenty from plenty of companies, open every one of them and look at the comments, the tablets are good, but the drivers are not, and that is repeating all over. The issue is maybe Microsoft not Wacom or the other Pen Table companies
