Keith:
After thinking about this, let me clarify, and retract what I said
(yet another documented case of speaking without thinking too much).
I have a project where I intercept keystrokes in rapid succession.
With POSE, I enter them from the keyboard because I can't work
Graffiti fast enough using a mouse. On a real device, I enter them
using Graffiti.
In a list drawback routine, I use a second event loop:
if ( EvtSysEventAvail ( false ))
{
EvtGetEvent ( &event, 0 );
SysHandleEvent ( &event );
if ( event.eType == keyDownEvent )
{
Boolean handled = MainFormProcessKeystroke (
( UInt8 ) event.data.keyDown.chr, true );
} }
The high-level events should end up the same--keystrokes, However,
the key down events are detected on a real device, but not when
using a keyboard and POSE.
It just occurred to me that the low-level and system events are
probably not the same in both cases (I wasn't able to get logging
working to verify), accounting for the difference in behavior. I
expected the high-level events to be the same, but since I'm fiddling
with the event sequence, who knows what's going on?
So, let me retract what I said, and restate it: I have a project
where I use POSE and a real device in a similar but not identical
fashion, and they don't do the same thing.
I guess the answer is that if I expect this application to work
identically in both cases, I should use it identically. Duh. Guess
I'll work on my Graffiti/mouse skills.
I can still send you a sample project if you think they _should_ work the same.

Steve Mann
