Tablet Input in Java

Turns
out that, contrary
to what I'd feared, the Tablet Input Panel for the Tablet PC does recognizes SWT components as text labels,
and you can use the TIP to add recognized
handwriting to a Java/SWT application:
So
now, the challenge of programming forms in Java for the Tablet PC reduces to
the problem of setting the TIP context dynamically from Java so that you can
command it to bias the handwriting towards the expected entry type (a date or a
phone number or what-have-you). The difficulty with that is that as far as the TIP is concerned, all java.exe
executables look alike. So I'll have to figure out some way, within Java, to
register for a callback when the TIP
gets activated. Then, use JNI to set the TIP context. Stay tuned…
