I have written a distributed presentation/whiteboarding application
(Java2/Swing) for online-tutoring. Currently I use a graphics tablet to
draw
and write on the whiteboard.
Now I would like to switch from using a separate graphics tablet to
using the stylus of a Tablet PC. However, my Java application seems to
drop
a great many mouse drag events, which results in hardly legible
handwriting
(not so with native Tablet PC applications like Windows Journal).
http://www.freesoft.org/software/tablet-java/
suggests patching the Java
runtime to solve this problem - an idea from which I instinctively recoil
in
horror. (I'd rather rewrite the whole thing in C#, which I even might
consider a good occasion to finally learn a reasonable amount of C# -
although, sadly, Java's level of platform independence would be lost in
the
process.) Does anyone of you know another (less hackish) way to get more
mouse-path information in a Java2/Swing application?
Regards,
Christian
