WinTab Drivers - Generic

[Ed McNierney]

I've discovered I need a WinTab driver to use ArcView's digitizer. One is
not available for my input device, but it seems to me that a generic WinTab
driver for a standard mouse-compatible input device should exist; but I
can't find one. If anyone has ideas, I'd appreciate them - thanks.

I know of one that is comatiple with Mapinfo called Virtual Tablet Interface
available at www.dataview-solutions.co.uk for £75.
I think they are win tab drivers and should work, but dataview should
be able to advise

I downloaded the Virtual Tablet Interface (they've got a time-limited free
trial version) and it didn't do what I need. That tool seems to be a
general-purpose front end/control panel for *conventional* digitizers - you
need to pick a "device profile" from the list and I couldn't find any way to
create a custom device profile. There appears to be no support for generic
digitizer that appears (to the system) as a mouse.

I've got a Cross iPen tablet (4x5 tablet with a cordless pen); provides
mouse input with absolute or relative addressing modes. It's all I need for
digitizing if I can just get the (very simple) thing to work.

Thanks very much for the pointer!

Ed,

Can't you get one from your digitizer manufacturer? If not try a web site
from any digitizer manufacturer to see what is available.

Thanks - but that route hasn't worked out. Part of the problem is that the
manufacturer (Cross) doesn't really market the product as a "digitizer" but
as a "pen-based mouse". That makes sense, because it doesn't have the
features you'd expect in a real digitizer, but it would do the job fine for
me.

Hi

Just wondering if anyone knows the easiest way to print the contents of the
clipboard using win32 API calls. I am calling from Avenue and I would like to
enable the user to print the active window (a dialog box aka form).

An additional problem is that ArcView is not fully Windows compliant - in that
it uses something called the Neuron Open Interface (?). Therefore, a
straightforward keybd_event call can only grab the entire screen, not an
individual window.

I found someone who has created a dll for Avenue that will print to the
screen a list of all windows and child windows (this includes the ArcView
dialogs). So presumably there is a way to get at the individual windows.

Once I've got the window in the clipboard, I'd really like to be able to print
directly to the default printer.

Any suggestions?
Ann
