As somewhat of a social experiment, I'm inviting those of you who've diagnosed issues with apps not working correctly with Windows power management to post your reports on this forum here. Apps not working right could mean that the PC stays awake unnecessarily, or or could mean that the app is negatively impacted by power management because it doesn't request that the system or display stay on while it is perform critical work.
The goal is to share knowledge of the issues so we aren't all "re-diagnosing the same wheel" and hopefully get the attention of the developers of the apps so they can make their applications a little more energy smart. Here's hoping...

Hello and welcome to the "Ink, Multi-Touch, and Other Tablet PC Development" forum.
This is the place where you can post questions, tricks, tips, and other observations about creating applications that specifically take advantage of natural input methods of ink and touch. Whether you are setting up a development environment, integrating handwriting into an existing application, or creating a state-of-the-art multi-touch client application from the ground up, we will strive to ensure that both other members of the developer community as well as product team members from Microsoft are pointing you to the correct resources and helping out where applicable.
Some resources that you should know about immediately:
- The Windows Developer Center on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/windows) contains pages dedicated to Tablet and Touch Technology. From the home page, click Technologies, and then click Mobile PC.
- In addition, the Windows Developer Center contains resources specific to Tablet and Touch Technology in the Learn page, including How-Do-I videos and MS Learning webcasts.
- The developer center contains a number of hands-on labs dedicated to Tablet and Touch Technology. The labs--written in C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET--range from getting started to advanced pen data manipulation.
You can find the Tablet and Touch SDK documentation in the MSDN Library:
- All conceptual topics are grouped together under the Tablet PC Development Guide. This includes native and managed conceptual information.
- All of the native reference documentation is located under the Tablet PC COM Library Reference node.
- The reference documentation for managed APIs is located in the following .NET Framework namespaces:
- Microsoft.Ink (general ink functionality)
- Microsoft.Ink.TextInput (Tablet PC Input Panel)
- Microsoft.StylusInput (RealTimeStylus implementation)
- Microsoft.StylusInput.PluginData (Plugin data for RealTimeStylus)
- System.Windows.Ink (WPF implementation)
- System.Windows.Ink.AnalysisCore (base classes for ink analysis in WPF)
- In addition, the System.Windows.Controls namespace contains the InkCanvas and the InkPresenter classes.
This forum is NOT for end-user questions or hardware reviews. It is for questions about developing applications using Tablet and Touch technologies. Questions that are out of scope will be redirected to appropriate forums or newsgroups.

The RTM release of the Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is now available for download in both ISO and Web Setup format. Web setup allows you to install a specific subset of the SDK you select without having to download the entire SDK. The DVD ISO setup allows you to download the entire SDK to install later. This release of the SDK has three ISOs to choose from. You should pick the version that matches the CPU (x86, x64, or Itanium) you are installing on. Each ISO will allow you to build applications that target all the other CPU platforms. If you install the x86 ISO (which only installs on x86 platforms), you will be able to create applications targeting x86, x64, and Itanium.
Platform Compatibility:
This release of the Windows SDK is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 Candidate, Windows Server 2008, .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 , Windows Vista, and Windows XP.
Visual Studio Compatibility:
This release of the Windows SDK is compatible with Visual Studio 2008 SP1; including Visual Studio Express Editions.
