I have Office 365 since a month and if i want to minimize Word for example, the button becoms dark but the window does not react. What i first recognized is that when you open the start menu and go up with the mouse pointer, it becomes a resize arrow pointer and doesn't return to a pointer arrow (excuse my english).īut this is not something that deters you from being productive:

I use the Wacom Intuos Pro since Windows 10 (before Anniversary update) about 1 year.įrom start i noticed inconsistencies compared to mouse control and it become clear that a Wacom tablet isn't the same as a mouse but some kind of emulation. Only the underlined bold text is in the Pen Buttons section. rightĪnd this is rich: no amount of selecting the text pgh above and trying to remove bold would do it.

It would seem logical and obvious that Wacom's driver should be able to automatically check that Windows Pen and Touch box, but somehow on my system, it got unchecked, I still don't know how, maybe I was messing around and did it myself. Workarounds, when a single, simple box check solves the problem, and Wacom's tech people, methinks, should know this one without having to check their on-screen scripts. I sent them a long message, maybe that'll save a few thousand hours a year from people like me who call in and get dragged through the entire BS of unrelated This is one of those little details that somehow Wacom's tech people can't figure out. 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.

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
