Windows - Custom Commands for Tablets - Per app

Ace-Angel

Hey to all,

I was wondering if anyone could maybe write a quick and dirty batch file or give me a hint on how I can change my tablets 'click' button so that it changes per application.

I would like to know how to change between (left) click and middle button for my pen on the fly.

Cheers!

What tablet are you using?

I use a Wacom Bamboo Pen myself and you only get the cheap drivers that are not able to do profile management.
I made a small profile manager with batch and autoit scripts (alternativly vbs works too) to change between them.
You can even switch monitors with it.
I use the "G"-Key's of my G15 to execute those.

It's a pretty hacky and dirty method and takes some time to setup.

I'm not a programmer, but I was able to find a way through :P


So, if your tablet driver allows you to setup your pen/tablet keys, I should be able to create something for you.

Oooh, thanks, that sounds interesting. I would much appreciate this.

Tablet is Intous 3, Windows 7. I'm trying to switch Middle Click and Right Click to the Primary button on my tablet (the one located nearest to the tip).

Cheers!

All Programs->Wacom Tablet->Wacom Tablet Properties.

you change settings per app in Wacom Tablet Properties. just make sure the apps is open when when you make a new profile. no need for scripting etc.

Really? Mind telling me how to do that, I looked, and the only thing I have is "Application Defined" for my primary switch, and nothing else.

EDIT: Oh, oh, oh, I think I got it, I add the application to my...Application Panel and then configure...

Um, other then sounding like a complete pillock, is there anything else I need to know? And yes, I'm a cretin.

Cheers guys, and thanks!

wacom 2,3,4 all have about the same software. it should look somthing like the pic. if you dont have it download the driver package from wacom. see that little + sine on the right side of Applications: ? open your app then click the + and you should get a list with open apps pick the app and set up the settings.

there should be some tuts on google also.

Meh, I want this too
To bad the drivers differ.

maybe i missed something but can't you just download them from http://wacom.com/CustomerCare/Drivers.aspx ?

Pac_187

Nope, wacom has different drivers for their products. If you buy the cheap ones you get the cheap drivers and vice versa.

Ace-Angel

Yeah, from what I recall, you need at least Intous 2 to use the same drivers as Intous 3 and up.
