Hi,

i want to make use of tablet pressure and tilt to control some of my plugins parameters.
Is this possible ?

i couldnt find anything about this in the api or with the forum search, so im a little clueless atm..

initially i thought that i might catch signals from the tablet in the message method, but it didnt work s far..

thanks,
Daniel

ok i finally found some stuff in the api (inputevent) and i tried like this:

> \> while(win->MouseDrag(&dx;,&dy;,&device;)==MOUSEDRAG_CONTINUE) \> { \> GePrint("tilt: "+LongToString(device.GetLong(BFM_INPUT_TILT))); \> GePrint("rotation: "+LongToString(device.GetLong(BFM_INPUT_ROTATION))); \> GePrint("pressure: "+LongToString(device.GetLong(BFM_INPUT_VALUE_REAL))); \> ... \>

must be doing sth wrong though, as it always prints 0...
i noticed theres also mention of a pen struct in the api, which is to be used inside of the mousedrag check, but im unsure what exactly to do..

any help apreciated

cheers,
Daniel

Hi,

i want to use the eraser tip of my pen too, does somebody know how to query it?

by default it seems to work exactly the same way as the left mouse button. I wonder if its possible to check if the eraser tip is pressed ..?

thanks,
Daniel
