7.5 PenMouse Driver

7.5.1 Overview

The PenMouse driver (PENMOUSE.DRV) simulates the operation of the mouse driver specific to

the personal computer using inputs received from the touch panel. The PenMouse driver makes it

possible to run an application on the IT-2000 terminal that was designed for use with a mouse driver

on the personal computer.

However, perfect simulation cannot be achieved because of the physical difference between the

mouse and touch panel. For example, no touch panel operation can simulate a right mouse button

click. However, application developers do not have to be particularly concerned with this difference.

This is because a right mouse button click can be recognized as a "Pen UP" state.

The relationship between the PenMouse driver and application programs is shown by the following

diagram.
