Of course, Tablet PC features don't just magically show up in regular applications (not at any level of sophistication anyway). Therefore, developers need to specifically support Tablet PC features such as "Digital Ink." Luckily, this task is made relatively simple using Microsoft's Tablet PC SDK. Visual FoxPro Developers can use this SDK to Tablet-enable various areas of applications, from data entry, to annotation, to ink collection (perhaps to collect signatures or the like). So what exactly is a Tablet PC, and why would we want one? Well, for one, a Tablet PC is – well – a tablet. It is flat. While this is the most obvious feature, it is not the most significant one. These honors go to Pen Input. While this doesn’t really require the device to be flat, it certainly provides a much more natural experience. After all, Microsoft is trying to simulate a pen & paper environment based on a digital platform. There are a number of reasons why this would be appealing. For one, tablets provide great mobility. Unlike regular laptop computers, Tablet PCs can be carried around resting on one arm, while they are operated with the other hand using mostly a pen. A clear advantage over laptops, which are mobile, yet they usually need a surface to sit on (such as a lap or a table) to free up both hands for input. Envision a nurse walking around the hospital trying to take notes while balancing a notebook computer on the foot-board of a patient’s bed.
