In article <8g2ptu$dsq$1@wanadoo.fr>, ADS <armindo.da-silva@wanadoo.fr> writes >the solution is probably more easy than you think, because many tablet are >provided with WinTab.dll, the "only" thing to do is to import function from >this DLL, so the main job is to translate Wintab.h to wintab.pas, the with >this unit call all function imbeded into the library. >I don't know nothing in C, so I can't do this. >But if you find a solution let me know. I don't know C either but even when that is done, you have to understand the entire wintab spec which involves setting up all sorts of message procedures- there is no easy way to just get the pressure values (not that I could see anyway). The spec is written in such a way that if you don't know C, you haven't got a chance. What I'm looking for is someone that can write a simple callable DLL that returns the pressure value of the pen. I'm not even looking for it free, I'm writing commercial software and prepared to pay. Maybe it just can't be done !
