Tablet Pressure Sensitivity

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Tablet Pressure Sensitivity

I've just got myself a little trust tablet with pressure sesitivity. It's a laugh to use, but only works with a selection of my applications.

I thought I'd have a go at writing a simple BMax paint program. This bit I've done before and am pretty confident about.

What I'm clueless about is getting the pressure reading. Does anyone have any experience in doing this sort of thing? I've done a little C++ coding, and I'm guessing that it'd be required. (Make a function to communicate with the tablet driver? Then reference that function in BMax?)

Can anyone give me a hint about where to start? Or even tell me that it's so tricky it's not worth it, that'd be good too.

I think someone did a tablet module. Have a look in the code archives.

Had a look, but couldn't see anything. Am I missing it?
