------------------------------- readme.txt ------------------------------- Wintab(tm) Programmer's Kit V. 1.25 for 16- and 32-bit Windows APIs. This file contains programmer's kit installation instructions and programming notes for the WTHOOK project. Please direct your programming questions and comments to the author: LCS/Telegraphics 150 Rogers St. Cambridge, MA 02142 voice: (617) 225-7970 fax: (617) 225-7969 email: wintab@pointing.com web site: http://www.pointing.com ftp site: ftp://ftp.pointing.com/pointing/Wintab/ Questions or problems regarding specific devices or device drivers should be directed to the device manufacturer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MSVC Notes for WTHOOK Project -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MSVC 4.2 will not be able to compile MFC_DEMO and WTHOOK projects. MSVC 5.0 will be able to compile all the projects. Also, please note that the linker warning LNK4098 (to recompile with the /Nodefaultlib:LIBC option) during the compilationq of Debug WTHOOK project will not affect the operation of the resulting executable. This bug concerns all projects linking the WNTAB32X.LIB and will be fixed in the next version of the Wintab Programmer's Kit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Project Settings for WTKIT -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All projects require that the LIB and INCLUDE variables point to the appropriate Windows SDK directories. Also, the WINTAB variable must point to a tree containing the LIB and INCLUDE subtrees from the Wintab Programmer's Kit. For example, in MSVC5.0, under the Tools menu, Options setting, the WINTAB\INCLUDE directory must be listed as a directory for Include files, and the WINTAB\LIB\I386 must be listed as a directory for library files. Please cleanup intermediate files between builds to different targets. If you have built the programs from source for one target environment, and wish to switch to another target, first run the command NMAKE CLEANALL in the source subdirectories. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keeping in Touch -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are three ways to show your support for the Wintab standard, and allow us to let people know that your product has Wintab support. 1. When you complete Wintab support in your product, let us know. Be sure to include the product name, a description, and contact information for your company. 2. If possible, send us an evaluation copy of your product, or the portions of it that contain Wintab support. LCS/Telegraphics is building a library of Wintab-compliant applications for ongoing compatibility testing. 3. Join the Committee for Advanced Pointing Standards (CAPS). CAPS formed in August of 1993 to promote and support future development of the specification. The more than 40 corporate members of CAPS include most major pointing device manufacturers, and many leading CAD and graphics arts software developers.
