Distinguish Between Mouse vs Finger vs Pen vs Eraser for Surfaces And Tablets

[SeabrookStan]

Short code to distinguish between touch with a Mouse vs Finger vs Pen (stylus) vs Eraser (stylus top), applicable for MS Surface and Tablet type computers. This code does not use InkEdit /InkPicture controls, but uses the "GetMessageExtraInfo" function. The code is short and should be self explanatory. I hope someone finds it useful! Long live VB6!

More info from MSDN at System Events and Mouse Messages.

For instance, in OP sample there is no check for 0xFF515700 signature.

Hi mrfarag-
Are there any other apps on your computer which respond to your electronic pen?
Is your pen compatible with your computer/monitor?
If so, what is the name & model number of your pen, and which type computer (or monitor) you are using (name, model#)?
