How to work with Stylus Input on Windows
Hey, I'm trying to find out how to work with stylus input. Specifically I want to add stylus support to a pre-existing program (emacs). I have searched the API to get stylus input but found:
Windows Ink
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/input/pen-and-stylus-interactions
RealTimeStylus API
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/tablet/realtimestylus-classes-and-interfaces
Since I'm new to windows development, I'm wondering which one to use for my project. This is not strictly a C# question, as the program I'm trying to integrate with supports C code and so I would prefer to use C, however I will use C# (or even C++) if I must. Nevertheless, I'm unfamiliar with the Windows APIs so having multiple APIs to do one thing can be quite overwhelming. Which one is better to use? Also, I'm not sure which ones I can use since I have to extend a pre-existing app rather than creating a new one from scratch. I hope this question is appropriate for this channel.
