| | Your Jornada runs WinCE. The entire OS is designed to do away |with concepts such as right-clicking and other option clicks. By the way, I can use the right click option with the "alt"+stylus_pick. The drag |option vs. a click is usually resolved on systems by either using a double |click, or detecting a click vs. a hold. My old synaptics touchpad on my |previous laptop had a "bounce" option to handle drag actions, but this too |involves something more complex than a simple "dumb" stylus control. | The short and simple answer is that your PDA is designed to only |need a single input mode, while the desktop version of Windows is not. | |CK CK, I can understand, that the WinCE is not complex enough. But I can imagine, that drivers could be available to make the touchscreen applications input compatible to the Windows OS. What are the differences? On the CE surface, a moving cursor is not visible. Pointing to something on CE is like moving the cursor to this point and left-clicking. Double clicking is double clicking on every OS. "alt"+pick is like right-clicking. In my opinion, with the right driver, the buttons could be helpful, but should not be necessary. | |On Wed, 13 Mar 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | |> Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 16:46 +0000 |> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |> Subject: Re: [LIB] Lib 1100 panel-mounted mouse - how quick and |> |> Raymond, you wrote: |> |> Actually I'd have to disagree ... just because we've used pens for so long doesn't |> mean its necessarily the right way of using your muscles (notice all those pens out |> there that are designed to help muscle cramps for instance).
