Pen tablet native extension example

Sean Fujiwara recently posted a native extension for Adobe AIR at AIR 3 Native Extension Example – PenTablet.

This extension lets an AIR application get the pressure sensitivity data from a Wacom Intuos 4 pen tablet on Windows 7.  It’s a good example of a Windows native extension that handles Windows messages and uses a native library — in this case, the pen tablet’s library.

Sean also provided another native extension for Windows that encodes a bitmap into BMP, JPEG, or PNG format using Microsoft .NET Framework 4.  See  AIR 3 Native Extension Example – ImageProcessor.

You can see more examples and tutorials of native extensions at the Adobe Developer Connection page http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air.html
