Michael,
When you use the little on-screen keyboard, XP TE simulates actual key
presses internally (i.e. key press and release events), and these then get
translated into characters in applications like Notepad, Word, etc.
Simulating the key events is easy because there is a one-to-one
correspondence between the on-screen keyboard's keys and those of a real
keyboard.
When you use handwriting recognition, the recogniser just passes the
characters you have written to the application - it can't simulate key
presses because there isn't any useful mapping from characters you write
back to simulated key events.
Internally, VNC ignores character codes and deals exclusively in key
events, because this provides the greatest flexibility and compatitiblity
between different platforms. So when you use character recognition, it
doesn't see any key events and ignores the character codes, and so nothing
happens.
Cheers,

I am using VNC on a Toshiba Tablet PC running Windows XP Tablet Edition to
control another PC. I am doing this because there is a program on our
network that does not function well over wireless due to the size of our
database. My problem is that when I want to enter text on the tablet using
the on-screen keyboard, the data is transmitted istantly, but when I try to
use the handwriting part of the on-screen keyboard, nothing transfers. The
handwriting works perfectly with programs on the tablet, just not when using
VNC. Is there anything I can configure to allow the handwriting to work
through VNC?
Thanks for any help,
Michael
