wine users - Jan 2010 - InScribe On Screen Keyboard

Hi Guys

I've recently become a little obsessed with the Swype concept and I've
managed to find a program which seems to do the same thing. It is Windows only
but installed fine under WINE. The program runs correctly with the caveat that
it will not enter text into a field.

Do any of you think we could get it up and running? I no nothing about the inner
workings of WINE so I don't know if this is a fairly simple matter of
ticking a checkbox or a fundamental problem which is unsolvable.

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 with WINE 1.1.31. InScribe is free for personal use
and the download I used is here: http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/fp/ins_dl.php

Output from running the program in terminal is:


Code:
michael at michael-desktop:~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/michael/.wine"
wine "C:\Program Files\Ilium Software\InScribe\InScribeTablet.exe"
fixme:gdi:ExtCreatePen Hatches not implemented




Not much to go on there

Many Thanks for any help

P.S. I've posted this on a number of forums now and not got a single
response so if you are reading this and have some experience with WINE please
respond even if it is only to say something like "This would be too
difficult to implement here's why"

Text field of which program? Have you tried with Wine's notepad?

Or you talking about Linux programs' text fields? In that case it won't
work.
