[dba-VB] Using VBTablet.dll With vb.net

Paul,

A tablet running Windows tablet PC have the dll's installed natively. There
are lots of examples of using the ImageEdit and ImagePicture controls on the
internet. In fact if you download the TabletPC SDK there are many examples
of using it with .NET apps. Have not heard of the .flg file, it must have
something to do with the application installer. For a start look at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa813329.aspx. I know this doesn't
answer your question, but it may give you a leed on where to look.

To all,

I have a wacom signature tablet, and we have a piece of code that allows our
employees to make digital signatures, but dont seem to be able to get it
working.

The application looks for a flag file (just empty text file called
Update.flg) and if it doesn't exist the application runs a bat file copying
& registering the VBTablet.dll and WinTab32.dll into their windows\system32
directory, then asks the user to close the application and re-run it.

However when anyone tried to run it, they get the message that no tablet
devices are detected on the system.

I have been working with our helpdesk, using clean laptop images and still
cant get it to work for some reason.  Has anyone out their had experience of
using the VBTablet.dll with a vb.net application, if so could you give me
some pointers on what I may be doing wrong etc.

Thanks in advance for any help on this, as it is becoming a real headache.
